Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bases Loaded 3 is the third out of a series of four Bases Loaded games for the NES, and has improved graphics and soundtrack versus the first two. As with others in this series, the umpire calls "strikes", "balls" and "outs". There's a variety of pitching styles, the standard overhand, the sidearm and a few submarine pitchers. To throw a fastball, up to 111 m.p.h, hold UP, hold A(pitch), then quickly toggle directly to DOWN and back to UP (without any curve). The fastball usually results in easy ground outs. The pitching controls are more complex than BL1 and BL2, now including a sinker.
There is one team that can be edited to customize with your own stats (though it doesn't permanently save). You can adjust the pitchers' ERA, speed and stamina and the batters' hitting average, homeruns and base speed. Your starting pitchers should have a stamina of at least 60 if you want them to last the standard 6 innings.
Whatever team you select is automatically placed in a pennant race. The first game in versus computer mode is basically a "gimme" since the computer fielding is so weak. The second and subsequent games have tight computer fielding and most of your batters hit weak popups to infielders so you're lucky to get ten hits.
The pitching versus computer rewards the repeated use of one pitch, [up/right]+A then release the control pad halfway into the windup. Fatigue will eventually allow the computer batters to hit it, but simply substitute the next pitcher. It doesn't matter which pitcher you select since they all can strikeout computer batters with this pitch until they tire. The fielding is also way too easy once I got used to the terribly limited variety of ball flight paths, and it's too easy to pickoff runners or be pickoffed yourself. Bases Loaded 3 is better than Bases Loaded 1 in terms of graphics, soundtrack and faster pace, but not the gameplay.
