Press START at the title screen, choose ONE PLAYER with the D-pad, and confirm with A. Select the DH rule, your team, and a starting pitcher; the top three pitchers have the stamina suited to starting, while the lower three are intended more for relief. When pitching, use Up or Down with A to change speed, then steer the pitch during the windup and after release. At bat, move left or right in the box and press A to swing; stop the bat midway for a bunt. Use START before the windup to call time and B to open the substitution list while time is out.

Menus: D-pad moves the cursor, A confirms, START begins from the title screen, and SELECT is unused. Pitching: move Up/Down to shift the pitcher; hold Up or Down while pressing A for pitch speed, use the D-pad during the windup for location and after release for curve or drop; press B for the field view on a pickoff, choose a base, then A to throw. Batting: Left/Right shifts the batter, Up/Down sets swing height, and A swings; stop the swing midway to bunt. Running: choose a runner with the D-pad, press B to advance and A to return; Down returns all runners on a high fly. Fielding: D-pad moves fielders, B makes the nearest fielder jump, and a direction plus A throws to that base. START calls time before the windup; during time-out, B opens the player list and A confirms a substitute.
