High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In a word: bugs. Way too many of them. They range from minor irritations (the play-by-play announcer and color commentator talking simultaneously) to major league bobbles, like being kicked out of the game and back to the desktop for having the audacity to hit a fly ball to right field. All of this may be and should be fixed in a patch, but right now I'd advise anyone to hold off and save yourself a lot of frustration.
It's too bad. This could have been (and still might be, if the fixes come quickly) a great game. Game play is first rate when it works correctly, and the attention to the strategic details of the game is truly impresssive. Somebody(s) at 3DO clearly know and love baseball. But this year's version has clearly been rushed out of the bullpen without a proper warmup. Wait till the bugs are fixed.

High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 is a realistic and fun baseball game for the PC. It features a new pitching practice mode where you can select a batter and pitcher to go head-to-head at the stadium of your choice. The two-man broadcast booth, featuring Dave O'Brien (radio voice of the Florida Marlins) describing the action and Ray Fosse (of the Oakland Athletics) doing intelligent color analysis, adds to the excitement and realism of High Heat Baseball.
The season starts with exhibition team rosters that expand to 35 players in season/career play. Rosters expand to 40 players in September. Animated base coaches at first and third base tell runners when to slide, stop, or run through. A new infield cutoff man can intercept the long throws from the outfield at your command. Catchers can snap throw (à la Pudge Rodriguez) to a base to catch an unsuspecting base runner. Pitchers can move to the edge of the rubber to gain a slight advantage on the hitters. In addition, data screens can now be exported to HTML format. Save game highlights, load, and replay them in the highlight viewer.
