Baseball Games Ranked

 

Well I have almost every baseball game on the NES. Unlike most sports games on the NES there are quite a few good ones. Any in the top 11 are at least decent. One of the weird things about the baseball games is that they could be divided into smaller categories. Some are attempting to be realistic simulators, most of which fail, and some are just trying to be fun games. The main factor in a game's ranking is how fun it is although nice graphics are a plus.

Baseball Stars is a legend in a class by itself.  R.B.I. is darn close and the best game with real players, it’s a shame they “improved” the gameplay for R.B.I. 2 and 3 because they added tons of cool teams and ruined the game.  Oh how Agents J and K yearn to play a good game with the 84 and 89 Cubbies.  You also can’t go wrong with 4 through 6.  They lack realism but are darn fun.

 

Agent K's Rankings

  1. Baseball Stars - This is the best of the best, full stat tracking, create and improve your own players with money earned from victories
  2. Baseball Stars II - Just a small step down from the original, full stat tracking, create and improve your own players with money earned from victories
  3. R.B.I. Baseball - Not many teams, but they're real. This is just a classic.
  4. Dusty Diamonds Softball All-Stars – Fun game with tons of different players including Satan and a witch.
  5. Bad News Baseball - Great gameplay, but no stats or real rosters. Plus the umps are rabbits!
  6. Little League Baseball - Gameplay like Baseball Stars, but set as little leaguers.
  7. R.B.I. Baseball 3 - This game has tons of great rosters. Many pennant winners are included. Plus variable computer levels
  8. Baseball Simulator 1.000 - Plays like the first R.B.I, but it has stat tracking and has the option of using all sorts of weird powers
  9. R.B.I. Baseball 2 - Exactly the same as R.B.I. 3 except that it only has the current rosters.
  10. Base Wars - Robots playing baseball, plus you can buy new equipment for them.
  11. Tecmo Baseball - I love the pitching in this game
  12. Legends of the Diamond - About 40 Hall of Famers make this game pretty interesting
  13. Bases Loaded II - same as the first except they fixed the pacing.
  14. Bases Loaded - as slow paced as real baseball, but Paste is a legend.
  15. Roger Clemens Baseball - very unique fielding is a good and bad
  16. Bases Loaded 3 - Fielding is very odd and no season just a rating system.  Ryno may have played it, but I sure don’t!
  17. Bo Jackson Baseball – Bo don’t know video games.
  18. Major League Baseball - RBI Baseball gone horribly wrong. It scores like a football game.
  19. Baseball - The first and most certainly the worst.
  20. Pro Baseball (Quattro Sports) - Okay this is the worst. Only pitcher fields and the ball's shadow is wildly inaccurate.


The only game I don't have yet is:

  • Bases Loaded 4
