Baseball Stars became a major hit in many countries worldwide, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. It was one of the first sports games to have data memory, therefore players could pick a team and make a season, while being able to save season statistics. Baseball Stars was also the first sports game to have the create a player feature. Gamers could, for the first time, create players and name them after themselves, family and friends, in addition to naming and creating their own teams. The game also featured a sort of role playing element. Each game played earned the winning team money, and the amount won was directly related to the "prestige" ratings of the winning team's players. The money could be used to purchase upgrades to various statistics of players currently on the roster or it could be used to purchase pre-designed players (priced at a Rookie, Veteran, and All-Star level). A hidden feature allowed players to purchase female baseball players. This is done by pushing down on the joypad in the purchase player mode until the "hidden" option appears.
