Additional Information
While Bottom of the 9th '99 does not feature a Major League Baseball license for authentic team names and logos, you do get over 700 MLBPA players with signature styles and ratings based on the 1997 season. A play-by-play announcer will call the action as soon as the first pitch is thrown.
The six game modes include Exhibition, Season (adjustable from 15 to a full 162 games), Scenario, Training, Playoffs and World Championship. Other notable features are one-for-one trades, four difficulty levels, defensive shifts, errors, substitutions, wind, day or night games, and custom starting rosters. Batting still relies on a cursor system to hit, although players can set it to a "locked" position to make tracking the ball easier.
Pitching involves choosing from five possible pitches (depending on the pitcher) and then positioning it somewhere within the strike zone. Bored with the traditional batter's view from behind the plate? You can also choose a view from behind the pitcher or an angled view to the right or left of home plate. Season statistics, team standings, trades and completed scenarios can also be saved to memory card.
