Baseball Stars 2 , a follow up to Baseball Stars Professional , features a fast-paced arcade style baseball with six fictitious teams, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. There are two difficulties of play: Beginsner , which automatically fields the ball for the player while Exciting has the player do the field manually. Additionally, there are two main modes of play where in the single player mode the player will compete in a fifteen-team tournament or go head-to-head against a friend in a multiplayer mode.
The standard rules of baseball still apply, but it adds power-ups that the player can pick up and use during the game, such as the ability for their pitcher to throw faster or their batter to hit better. They can also substitute a player during the game, but are limited to three substitutions per game. The game is shown through 2D graphics with comic-style cutscenes to illustrate the action, such as dramatic catches and home runs that will pop-up during the game.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a baseball management simulation where you, as the owner, recruit powerful "special players" for single at-bats and "relief players" after games to improve your team. You'll make strategic decisions about who to add and remove from your roster.
Story
About Special Players
The owner is a good person, contrary to appearances. He is a great person whom no one on the team can go against.
While he has a one-man (selfish?) side, such as having special players bat during a game over the manager's head, he also finds and brings in relief players after each game. He's quite scary, but he's not a bad person.
Well done! That's the spirit!
Special Players
During the game, they are put in for only one at-bat at the owner's instruction. They are well-equipped with both batting average and slugging power.
Relief Players
Only in "Pennant Race Mode." After each game, you can add a powerful relief player.
Please select one player you like from the three players the owner has found, and remove one regular member from your team.

How to Play
Game Start
On the title screen, press the "Start button" on the controller connected to the main unit. The mode selection screen will appear.
Game Mode Selection
This game offers "Pennant Race Mode" for 1P play and "Versus Game Mode" for 1P vs 2P. Select either game mode with the lever and confirm with the A button. If you are playing a Versus Game, two controllers are required.
•
Pennant Race
Conquer the 15-game race with the strongest team! Aim for the world!
•
Versus Game
1-on-1 match! No longer friends. The person next to you is an enemy!!
Load (Data Recall) Selection
This game allows saving and loading if you use a separately sold "Memory Card". If a memory card with game data saved on it is inserted into the main unit, the load selection screen will be displayed.
Select with the lever and confirm with the A button. If you select "YES", the game will start immediately from where you last saved.
Memory Card Save (Record) Information
If a memory card is inserted into the main unit, the game will automatically save each time there is a change. Please note that the previous data will be erased at that time.
League Selection
This game features an "Auto Defense Mode".
•
When playing with auto defense, select "Fighting League" with the lever.
•
When playing with normal defense, select "Exciting League" with the lever and confirm with the A button.
Features of Auto Defense Mode
Within the 3D screen (until it switches to the field screen), players will automatically chase the ball. This is an easy mode for beginners, as it is simpler than normal defense where you control everything.
Team Selection
From the 6 teams belonging to the selected league, select one team with the lever and confirm with the A button.
•
If "Versus Game" is selected, 1P and 2P controllers will each select a team.
•
However, the same team cannot be selected.
Play Ball
Now, let's start the game! We look forward to a fierce and exciting match.
Match Results
Only in "Pennant Race Mode," the league standings and the next opposing team will be displayed after the match. If you complete all 15 pennant races and win the league championship, you can play in the World Championship.
About Power-Ups
The "Power Bat" is a magical bat that, when used, increases the batter's hitting power and makes it easier to hit singles and extra-base hits. However, it cannot be used indefinitely.
Each team is given a Power Bat for 5 at-bats at the start of the game. Use it wisely to secure victory.
During an attack, press the D button to call up the "TIME screen." Select "POWER UP" with the lever and confirm with the A button. Hit it out of the park with the Power Bat!
•
In "Pennant Race Mode," 10 at-bats worth of Power Bat are replenished as a bonus for each game won.
Controller Actions
•
Lever: Moves the runner and designates bases such as advancing or returning to a base.
•
A button: Return to base. Returns to the base designated by the lever. (However, once you step on a base, you cannot return to the previous base.)
•
B button: Advance to base. Advances to the base designated by the lever. Also, you can lead off up to 3 steps before the pitcher's throw, and after the pitching motion, you can attempt a stolen base.
•
C/D buttons: Not used.
•
The more you repeatedly press the B button while running, the faster the runner can run.
