The Story Behind Extra Innings
Extra Inningss controls were unlike many of the era, featuring pitches with vertical break, diving and sliding catches that could be assisted by the AI, and independent runner control (selecting the destination base with the D-pad and Y would advance the runner; the origin base on the D-pad and B would make an individual runner retreat). Like most baseball video and computer games, either one or two players can join in for simultaneous play. These stats control various team aspects such as hitting, pitching, speed, etc.
With practice, the player can alternate between advancing and retreating both runners until the computer could not keep up with both, producing cheap runs. The AI will attempt to put out any runner advancing toward a base. For the most part, the game adhered to realistic rules of baseball; it omitted some more complex strategies such as the double switch.
How Extra Innings Plays
Each of the two custom teams is allotted a certain number of points that can be allotted as the player chooses across the team's entire roster. Players can choose from these four options: 1P VS. Pennant Race - single player option where player chooses a home team, and five computer teams, to play for the pennant.
All-Star Game (All-Star Battle) - a two-player option where players choose between the two league divisions: the "ALL A" League (ALL "P" League) and the "ALL N" League ("ALL C" League). With practice, the player can alternate between advancing and retreating both runners until the computer could not keep up with both, producing cheap runs. Teams are as listed in their league divisions:
