    I have to tell you that this game is one of those games, which makes you glad you decided to become gamer decades ago.

    There are problems that can and should be addressed, but the gameplay has no equal.

    The new features/graphics only ehnance what was already the best baseball game ever. [June 2001, p.64]

    Aside from the so-so visuals, High Heat Baseball is the coolest baseball game on the market. If you are looking for life-like action and real baseball strategy, this is the title for you.

    It’s far from perfect but High Heat Baseball 2002 is as good as it gets… for now.

    A game that has so seriously squashed the competition that it's almost laughable.

    If they fix most of what's wrong above, I'd estimate the actual Overall score would increase to somewhere in the 94-97 range. The game is THAT good and, unfortunately, THAT buggy.

    The graphics are mostly on par with this year's "Triple Play" entry, but some of the gameplay and animation feels a bit behind the venerable EA title.

    Some aspects of the game will really impress you; others will make you want to throw your monitor out the window.

    Despite the bugs, this is a great baseball game boasting more than enough improvements to keep you from going back to High Heat 2001.

    The bugs are inexcusable, but when it comes to baseball, there just isn't any other game that comes remotely close to being this deep and endlessly replayable.

    Its graphics and challenging gameplay make it more fun to be on the field than reading box scores.

    Great game but it always kicks me off, and the people that talk get messed up you can understand them.
