HardBall III features award-winning sportscaster Al Michaels calling the play-by-play as you guide your team to the championship. While the game does not offer either a Major League Baseball or MLBPA license for real teams and players, a comprehensive team and player editor will allow you to customize details to your liking.

Battery backup will save both team and individual statistics, season in progress, two created teams and any changes you make using the editors. Realistic ballparks have also been included, 26 in all, to make you feel like you're playing in the big leagues. Other notable features are a manage-only mode, Home Run Derby, Practice Cage and Instant Replay. You can even save these replays to a Highlight Reel for later viewing!
