PLAYOFFS
No time for a full season? Do you just want to experience the thrill of the postseason?
Playoffs can give you all of that. Select the number of teams and the playoff format. Can
you guide your team to the World Series?
HOME RUN DERBY
Wanna go yard? Then head on over to the Home Run Derby on the main menu. Set up a
competition between 1-8 players from any major league roster, at any stadium, and a
user-selectable number of pitches. After the first round, the top two bombers advance to
a playoff round. The winner will be the one who can go deep the most.

FRANCHISE
So you want to be a GM? Do you have
the skills to build baseball’s next dynasty? Franchise Mode is your chance to do it.
So you feel ready for a season. After setting the options, enter your name and pick your
team. Use the Sega Keyboard (sold separately) or the analog stick to navigate the on-
19
screen display for entering your name.
If you selected a Fantasy Draft, this is your chance to play General Manager. All of the play-
ers are free agents and it’s your duty to fill out your roster. You can opt out of the draft at
any point and have the CPU finish for you.
Once the season is set up, you will be presented with the following menu:
Management
This is where you get to set up your team. Pick your lineups,
adjust the pitching rotation, shuttle players back and forth from
the minor leagues, check for news, trade players, sign free
agents, check on injuries and save your progress.
Schedule
From this menu option you will get a chance to see who is coming
up on the schedule. If you want the CPU to simulate all the games
up until a certain date, use the analog stick to highlight a specific
date and press the A Button.
Statistics
World Series Baseball 2K2 will break down all of the numbers for
you – team stats, team standings,
league leaders, player stats, and
even all-star votes.
News
Find out about trades, injuries, and
free agent acquisitions by the other
teams in the league from the News
screen.
Options
This does the same thing as the
custom tab from the main menu,
allowing you to change the number
of innings, and the audio presenta-
tion of the game.
