Extreme Big League Challenge adds a twist to the derby by putting up targets that can be hit for extra points. This is a home run derby that can be played as either a tournament or a one-on-one competition. Also included is something called the Big League Challenge. Triple Play 2001 is a baseball game that gives you the option of playing a single game, season, or the playoffs. The ultimate Triple Play 2001 judge is the fun factor. Although every baseball bone in my body screams every time I play fantasy sports titles, I must put aside my own dislike for these types of games in order to judge whether or not the arcade fan would find them enjoyable. It is through this lens that I judge Triple Play 2001. Not much substance, but there should be plenty of fluff in this type of game. These fantasy baseball games are created as arcade games in the purest sense and have that "putting a quarter in a videogame" feel about them. The general idea behind everything is providing a game that a player can sit down and play without worrying about all of the precision and accuracy of baseball simulations. The primary concern isn't baseball accuracy. These include power-ups and other such arcade trappings to generate new twists on what (the developers believe) can be very long baseball games and seasons. So they devote a lot of time to adding "fun" by introducing fantasy elements. Developers of such titles believe the premise that baseball as presented on the PC is an inherently boring game. These are games that resemble baseball only loosely and place great emphasis on things that have nothing to do with the real life sport. Triple Play 2001 is what I categorize as a fantasy baseball game.
