Best PC Baseball Game on the market

I highly recommend this game for serious pc baseball players. I played the Triple Play series for 4 years, while EASPORTS has done nothing to improve their product, High Heat has done a great job improving graphics, maintaining an excellent stats interface. I have seen a lot of reviews about their system crashing and other bugs. I run a Athlon 900, 196RAM, and ATI-32MB All-in-Wonder card. The first time I installed the game and ran the update feature, and updated all my drivers nd the game would crash every time. I reinstalled my game without running the update and it runs fine. The only bug I have found so far is if you throw to first base on a pickoff move then press the throw button the first baseman will throw the ball to the catcher, if you press the throw button again(while the catcher has the ball and you don't press the D-pad) the game exits back to Windows. I find the difficulty the best part of the game. When I first started playing I played at the AAA level, after one season I moved up, and so on. I play at the All-Star or MVP levels, winning and losing is realistic and stats are realistic, no .500 avg and 100homers. Overall I highly recommend this game. If you play a custom league with draft you have access to the extra players.

This game is awesome.

This is the best sports game that i have played. As an all around sports fan (not a die-hard baseball fan) I find this game is a lot of fun. The graphics are awesome and the pitching, batting and fielding just feel right (vs. Triple Play which is all messed up). As a Dodger fan, it was cool to see that Kevin Brown not only has all his real pitches, but his windup looks exactly like real life. The music is great too. Get it.

Best Baseball Game Out There

3DO did it again with this title. Ultra-realistic baseball with much improved graphics from the past. High Heat is so much better than EA Sports' title Triple Play Baseball. High Heat is great for that fan who wants every last baseball detail.

The guys have done it again! Get this!

They realized that they didn't need a "name" on the title to sell the product (Last year's edition was "Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball". This product can stand on it's own, it doesn't need a "name" to sell it. The story goes that Vladimir Guerrero was using last year's version to help time himself against certain pitchers, and 3DO heard about that and put him on the box - if a real player uses the game, shouldn't you?

This is by far the best PC baseball game out there. Are the graphics the best? No, probably not. However, it is the best representation of a "baseball game" you can find on the PC. New stuff this year is great - new camera angles, graphics, sound, animations, manager mound visits, snap throws. It just gets better and better!

One of these days, they might get to "High Heat Virtual Reality Baseball 2038" where you're actually *IN* the game. :) Until we get there, this is about as good as you can get. Get this, you won't be disappointed.

Great game if you know how to keep your computer updated!

This game is really great. The main problems are not with the game, but with people that dont know how to keep their computer updated with current hardware drivers. The game seems to be buggy with GeForce video cards, but that's due more to Nvidia's flaky drivers. Nvidia puts out new ones every week it seems trying to squash the bugs. Also, this game is one of the first to use DirectX 8, so hardware makers are still playing catchup. With my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP video card and Soundblaster Live, not one problem.

Also, there are many 3rd party updates available for rosters, stadiums, utilities, and more that keep High Heat 2k2 the most updated baseball game ever! If you like baseball and the most realistic gameplay ever, welcome to the creme of the crop.

By Far the Best out there

I am very critical of baseball video-games, I own a lot and I play a lot. This game is by far the best I have ever played. Just the options that are available in this game surpass any other. With full control over minor leaguers (AAA,AA,A) this game real gives you the feeling of being in control of a major league baseball team. The graphics are true to life, but the sound does leave something to be desired. The announcers are choppy, and seem to burt things out. But I still give it Five stars because the game itself reaaly is the best.

This game is head and shoulders above the competition. I am a true baseball fan and this game had the most realistic game play I had ever seen. Baseball fans should really enjoy it.

I have played the High Heat series since it's inception and this is by far head and shoulders above the others. The music is awesome and the graphics are a huge improvement over HH2000. You can also customize EVERYTHING in this game to suit your playing preferences.

The only downside to this game is the person doing the color commentary is a little redundant, but this is a very minor complaint compared to the vast improvements in this game. I was addicted to playing HH2000, but this game goes beyond that!

The Best baseball game that you will ever play
