It was the first game in the modern series to be featured on the Dreamcast, and was the spiritual successor to World Series Baseball for the Sega Genesis. It was released in July 2000 to coincide with the 2000 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Atlanta.

World Series Baseball 2K1 was the first game in the series since World Series Baseball '98 in 1997. Sega had announced that a World Series Baseball game would be a launch title for the Dreamcast's 1998 release,[1] but the Dreamcast launched without any baseball games.

Reception

Rob Smolka reviewed the game for Next Generation, rating it one star out of five, and stated that "If lifelike graphics are what you want, save yourself $60 and turn on ESPN; the gameplay isn't worth a dime."[2]

gollark: If you do weirder stuff, it sends me an incident report about the type safety violation.
gollark: But I added fraction support too so `(1 / "d") * "abcd"` has the same output.
gollark: `"abcd" / "c"` → `{"ab", "d"}`
gollark: You can actually overload operators easily with metatable hax; potatOS lets you divide and subtract strings.
gollark: Is it now.
