Reception

Tony La Russa's Ultimate Baseball sold 85,684 copies, becoming SSI's most successful non-Dungeons & Dragons game.[1] Computer Gaming World in 1991 praised its VGA graphics, and concluded that the game "packs a tremendous amount into a single box".[2] A 1992 review by the same author of expansion disks was less favorable. It praised the accuracy of a recreation of the 1990 Major League Baseball season, but criticized the incomplete rosters. The magazine stating that the game "still falls short of its potential ... TLRUB may be a bit closer to the "ultimate" with these disks, but it's not there yet".[3] The magazine nonetheless that year named Tony La Russa's Ultimate Baseball as 1992's best sports game.[4]
