SELECTING STARTING LINEUPS
Before the actual ballgame starts, you will be
asked to set the Starting Lineup, beginning with
the Starting Pitcher. Use either the Control Stick
or the + Control Pad to select the Starting
Pitcher of the road (left) team, C Stick to select
the Starting Pitcher of the home (right) team,
and press the A Button.
Next, you will be asked to select the Starting
Lineup. Select a player and press the A Button
to highlight his name. Select another player
from the Starting Lineup to switch the batting
order between the two, or select a player from
the reserve list to replace a player. Select OK to
start the ballgame.
Note: The batting order of the pitcher can be
changed, but he cannot be replaced by a
player from the reserve list.
CHANGE PLAYER
Select this option from the Pause Menu during
the ballgame. You can substitute a pinch hitter/
runner if you’re batting, or make a defensive
change if you’re in the field. When selected, a
diamond with players you can change will be
displayed (batter and base runners if you’re
batting; pitcher and fielders if you’re in the
field). Select the player to change and press
the A Button. A list of reserve players will be dis-
played. Select the player to substitute and press
the A Button to make the switch.
Note: The pitcher must face at least one batter
before he can be relieved. Once the pitcher is
changed, the new pitcher cannot be replaced
until either the batter he is facing is retired or
gets on base, or you pick the runner off to end
the inning.
POSITION CHANGE
Select this from the Pause Menu during the ball-
game. You can change the positions of the
fielders (except the pitcher). When the diagram
of the playing field is displayed, select a player
to highlight his name. Select another player to
switch positions between the two.
STAMINA METER
A green gauge displayed under each player’s
name indicates his stamina. If the gauge is full,
he is very effective. If the gauge is short, he is
getting tired and losing his effectiveness. Pay
attention to the Stamina Meter when you select
any player(s).
Play an Exhibition game against the CPU, or against another player.
