(I Just bought a Genesis and sent it back; the game play was unimpressive.) I also am really into sports games, and fondly recall Earl Weaver on my amiga (I used to have a 1000) as the best baseball game I ever played, overall. However, though JMF for Genesis has a nice interface, it is WAY too easy. I played it for about 2 weeks, and the first time I played in the playoffs I took the championship. Since that time until I returned it, I played dozens of playoffs, with a wide variety of teams (from good to shitty), and failed to win the championshgip only once. The game is just too damn easy. Some other problems: no real league play, poor stat collection, no injuries, defense TOO EASY. However, I have to give gridiron some bad marks as well (based on my ownership of the game some years ago): graphics are X's and O's, top-down, it is EASY to beat with a certain play (I think it's a fly pattern, but it';s been years...), the sound FX are minimal by todays's standards. >>Baseball <is hardball II cool?> > >Earl Weaver. > >>Hockey <is wayne gretsky's really good or just hype?> > ^^^^^^^^^^^ >Yes. Gretsky II is coming out on the IBM?!?! > Anyway, just wanted to echo your sentiments. Sports games arte my passion. Enough for me to buy an Amiga (can't get 'em on my Mac!) jas -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey A.
