  • "Season" - The player chooses one team and plays one season of baseball within the game controlling that team. The season is supposed to be 2001 , and the draw of every team as well as the All-Star Game is matched up exactly with each team's draw during the 2001 season. Also, in season mode, records set in beaseball history for seasons and single games are listed, and if the player's team breaks one, the new record is listed as being set in 2001. If the player's team end up in the top 4, it will go to the playoffs to the World Series .
