| + | == FAQs == |
| − | * Improved pitch control.
| |
| − | * Easier bunting controls. (Hold Down+A to bunt activate standard bunt. This can be directed left or right as well.)
| |
| − | * Ability to see the players on the base paths while in pitcher/batter view, rather than an icon representation overlay as in the original.
| |
| − | * 6 pitchers and 4 bench players instead of 5 each.
| |
| − | * New music and home run animations. These include the "Power connect" graphic for a two-run home run, an animated graphic of the batter rounding the bases and pumping his fist for a 3-run home run or grand slam, and a similar (yet very rare) graphic including a West Highland terrier following the batter for a come-from-behind (usually game-ending) home run in a dramatic situation.

| − | Players could still create leagues of up to 125 games (6 teams playing each other 25 times) and view statistics such as League Standings, Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Earned Run Average, Wins and Saves. Players could still fire players and upgrade them using the same 15-point system introduced in the original Baseball Stars. Players could also trade players among user-created teams. The game also contained a glitch that would keep the last pitcher listed on a team's roster from appearing in any of the league standings.
