Introduction
Baseball fans, welcome to All-Star Baseball™ 2003. This year we've got a terrific line up of features that make this our best game ever.
There's a great Trivia game, where you can test your baseball knowledge, and the new Player Cards recreates the fun and excitement of trading baseball cards.
You can create an expansion club, complete with logo and choose what city, stadium and league they'll play in. There's a fun new Franchise feature that lets you select a favorite team and play with them over several seasons, seeing their fortunes and players change over time.
Of course, we still have plenty of the great on-field action you've come to expect, like the Home Run Derby, Season and Playoff modes, and tons of off the field management input, too, including creating your own players. You've got all the tools it takes to make a run at the World Series and have a great time doing it! See you in the post season!

Bunts
There are two types of bunts in the game: sacrifice bunts and drag bunts. Sacrifice bunts are shown before the pitch is delivered. To perform a sacrifice bunt, the chance of success is based on the hitter's bunt rating.
Drag bunts are timed and aimed like a swing. You must move the cursor (LEFT ANALOG STICK) in conjunction with the bunt button (BUTTON) to perform a drag bunt.

Tips & Maps
Batting Target
Angle the batting target up for a ground ball and down for a ball in the air. The wide part of the triangle is the sweet spot.
Switch Team Uniforms
On the Controller Select screen, press L1 or R1 + Up or Down on the directional buttons to switch team uniforms.
Future Throws
Use Future Throws for quick, seamless plays by pressing the buttons before a batted ball is fielded. They can also be used for bunts, double plays, relay throws, and balls off the outfield wall.
Defensive Positioning
Use defensive positioning wisely to prevent runs; you can override CPU decisions even with the option turned on.
Guessing Pitch Type/Location
Guessing the pitch type affects the contact icon size, and guessing the pitch location affects the sweet spot size.
Hitter's Batting Target and Pitcher Handedness
A hitter's batting target is affected by the opposing pitcher's handedness, with some hitters showing extreme differences and others none at all. Bench players may be more effective against certain pitchers than regular starters.
Drag and Sacrifice Bunts
Drag bunts are effective for getting runners on base, while sacrifice bunts advance a runner to the next base by sacrificing an out, especially with a weak hitter at the plate.
Easy Batting
Use Easy Batting if you prefer not to use a batting target.
Manipulating Pitching Staff
In the Set Pitching Staff screen, starters can be used as relievers and vice versa, though results may vary.
Created Player Attributes
Raising and lowering a Created Player's attributes will affect the stat lines that are generated.
Drafting Utility Infielders
Utility infielders (UT) are good late-round selections due to their versatility, able to play any infield or outfield position without penalty. Corner infielders (CI) play first or third base, middle infielders (MI) play shortstop or second base, and infielders (IF) can play all four infield positions.
Free Agent List
Check the Free Agent List for players who can help your team, but remember you must drop a player to pick one up.
Pitch Outs and Slide Steps
Pitch outs and slide steps are useful for defending against the running game.
Pitcher Ejections
Pitchers will be ejected for throwing at hitters, so be careful when throwing inside.
