General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - The game's motion capture use is not particularly interesting as its competitors (EA's Triple Play and Sony's MLB series) were using it at the same time. Could you provide any other subtleties of its use?
QPQ: Done.

Overall:

SmartAn01 I fixed the quotes. I also added more information to the article for ALT1 ... that the 1999 video game Interplay Sports Baseball Edition 2000 is the first game released after the developer changed its name from VR Sports to Interplay Sports? SL93 (talk

SmartAn01 I don't think that the developer changing its name is so important, but more so that this is the first game to reflect the name change. I do know that this is the last game of the series and I'm currently trying to source that so I can build a hook around that fact. SL93 (talk

SmartAn01 Hooks can use any number of reliable sources. I removed the Giant Bomb source. I added more information for ALT3 ... that the 1999 video game Interplay Sports Baseball Edition 2000 used one announcer during a time that its competitors were switching to two announcers? SL93 (talk

SmartAn01 I like ALT4 a lot, but reviewers can't approve their own hook. I worked the information into the article. I am pinging theleekycauldron and Kavyansh.Singh as people who might be interested in approving ALT4. I hope you decide to stick around DYK longer because you do a great job. SL93 (talk

The ALT4 would probably work better if the hook specified that the two-person teams were used in real broadcasts of the game and not other video games. I had to re-read the hook a few times to get that right. Since I'm also suggesting a change, I'll recuse myself from adding a tick mark. SounderBruce 02:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Well, this may come as a shock to you, but this teenaged spreadsheet nerd on wikipedia was never really a sports person. gasp! umm, anyways. I'm not sure if that relates to why this is, but I don't really... understand the hook. I'll dig into it, figure out what it means, but is there a way to make it clearer at first glance? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

I think "other video games" instead of "competitors"? that's what was tripping me up. we can pipe some links if that helps to keep character count low. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 08:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Hmm, sorry, I may have spoken too hastily—the sources given don't support the idea that other games were transitioning to other things. Where can I find that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 09:09, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
