Runners are at the corners with one out. The tying run dances off of third, daring you to pick him off. It all comes down to this-you versus the Pro team's cleanup hitter. But you've got one more trick up your sleeve. You make the wave to the bullpen and call
in Myer, your team's ace reliever. The batter adjusts his stance as Myer looks in. It's the best versus the best in a classic late inning confrontation- just an example of the excitement awaiting you in Bases Loaded GB.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ START UP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the title screen is displayed, choose whether you'll be playing in a one or two-player game and press the start button.
GAME MODE SELECT
Select whether you will play in "USA mode" or "Japan mode" by moving the arrow with the upper or lower portions of the control pad.
BGM MODE SELECT
Once you've chosen your game mode, decide whether you wish to have background busic during your game by using the left and right portions of the control pad. Once this selection has been made, press START.
Choose whether you'll be playing an official or non-official game. An official game goes a full 9 innings, and allows you to continue versus a stronger team should you win. A non- official game can be played for any number of innings (up to 9).
SELECT TEAM
Choose whether you'll be East or West team during your game. You might want to check the team charts in the back of this manual before choosing. Each team has its own unique playing style.
Choose your team by moving the selection arrow next to East or West. Then, select your pitcher using the upper and lower portions of the control pad. When your selections are made, press start and play ball!
-----------------------------------------/ TWO PLAYER GAMES /---------------/ --------------------------------------- < /----------------\
You can play head-to-head with a friend by connecting two game Boy units with a Video Link (tm) cable.
Connect the Video Link (tm) cable as shown in the diagram. After checking that the game paks are set properly, turn the power switch of both units ON.
Check that both units display the Bases Loaded GB title screen, then one or both players select the "2 Players" option.
The person(s) who select the "2 Players: option should hit their start button(s). If one player has selected the "1 Player" option and the other player had selected the "2 Player" option, whoever presses their start button first will determine whether the game will be a 1-player or 2-player game.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FIELDING AND THROWING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIELDING
Move your fielder toward the ball with the control pad.
To make a "jumping" catch, press the B button when the ball is overhead.
Swinging the bat is accomplished by pressing the A button. Bunting is accomplished by pressing the A button before the pitch is thrown and releasing the button when the player's bat is over the plate.
ALTERNATING YOUR SWING (or "Aiming for the Seats")
Like in real baseball, there are times in Bases Loaded GB when you need to have your hitter hit a fly ball, or a grounder, or a ball to the right side of the infield. You can increase your chances of accomplishing this by using the Swing Selection Option.
Before the opposing pitcher goes into his windup, press the SELECT button. The "crosshairs" will appear at home plate. Press the control pad to select your swing, and press the A button.
DOWN SWING trying to hit a ground ball ____ | | ____| |____ LEFT FIELD | | RIGHT FIELD SWING |____ ____| SWING aiming for the | | aiming for the left side of |____| right side of the infield UPPER CUT SWING trying for a fly ball or a home run
LEFT AND RIGHT MAY BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH UP AND DOWN
When the pitcher released the ball, press the control pad in the area representing the base you wish to steal, and press the B button repeatedly.
Retreat by pressing the A button and the control pad in the area representing the base you wish to retreat to.
PICKOFF PLAYS
Press the B button anytime before you select the type of pitch to step off the mound. Press the A button and the control pad to throw to the base.
RELIEVERS & PINCH HITTERS
To bring on a relief pitcher or a pinch hitter, call "time out" by pressing the START button. Press the A button to call up the player selection screen. Choose a pinch hitter or reliever with the control pad. Make your selection by pressing the A button.
\----------------------------------------- \---------------- \ TEAM CHARTS > \ ----------------------------------- /---------------------
The following are team charts for the EAST and WEST teams. Pitchers are rated in five categories: Fastball, Off Speed Pitch, Curveball-vertical, Curveball-right, and Curveball-left.
Ratings for pitchers range from 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. In the case of the Off Speed Pitch category, a rating of '5' means that the pitcher in question has the SLOWEST off-speed pitch, while a rating of '1' in this category means the picther's off-speed pitch isn't all that slow.
Batters are rated for running speed (1 or 2), Homerun power (1-5), and Hitting ability (1-5). The batting averages and homerun total for each player represents last year's total. The ratings in the homerun and hitting categories represent this year's ability or potential.
