Best Video Game for the home run derby?

[Spear]

I'm just wondering what games are out there that you guys think that have the best home run derby? Not like the MVP games with the home run showdown but more like a home run derby like MLB 2006: The Show. Unfortunately in that one I've only seen the ball hit 466, I'm looking for one that maybe you could hit a little bit farther and that may have a dated roster.

The old Triple Play games on the PS1 had awesome homerun derbies.

Any of the All Star Baseball games. I swear I would buy one of those games just to play Home Run Derby. Every stadium is featured with terrific collision detection, and it's just amazing how well they did it! I have certain "places" in each stadium that I try and reach or hit when playing.

I haven't played All Star Baseball 2005 yet, so I'm not sure how good their Home Run Derby is. But, from 2002 - 2004, it's very sweet!


My only gripe with All Star Baseball 2003 (in the game itself, including HRD) is using the power button ensures most of your hits, regardless of your timing and the pitch location, to be hit on the left side of the field. That's why I would suggest ASB 2004 (or maybe 2005) if you want to play it. It's FUN!
