Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

Joking aside. Here are my questions Steve.

1) Have the graphics been revamped in this year's game? Many felt last years game had mediocre graphics. Are you using a different graphics engine?

2) Who did you motion capture for the game? Any additional animations added? If so, how many and what type of animations?

3) Tell us a bit about the Tuning Menu? What options are given to the user to tune?

4) This screenshot http://www3.sympatico.ca/ppetrovits/...eat2004pc6.jpg shows the stadium half empty. If a team is losing or at the bottom of the stands does this have an effect on the number of fans attending a game?

5) Tell us a bit about the Franchise mode in the console versions. Are there going to b farm club rosters to manage for example. Random schedules at the end of each year in franchise mode for each team?

Will they ever fix the outfield wall at Comerica Park? The centerfield wall is the same height as the left field wall and the left field wall does not have a slope down from the foul pole. Simply stated, are the outfield walls accurate in regards to their height?

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

I'm not much of a baseball game player, but I think the reason for this is I havent found a game that has the in-depth dynasty mode so I would really like to know...

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

1) Will there be a wider variety of hits(i.e.) less bloop singles. ?

2) In game saves?

3) Downloadable Rosters.

4) Following home run balls into the bleachers would be cool

5) Have you tweaked the substitution AI, it still seemed like the CPU would make wholesale changes too early in the game.

6) Fastball pitchers seemed to get hit more easily regardless of how good they are has this been tweaked?

7) When creating pitchers you could change the quality of the pitches but the stuff rating you were unable to change, I get the feeling that the stuff rating is key, is this true?

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

1. Will the manage-mode only feature be retained on the PC version and will the manage-mode only feature make it to the console?

2. Will there be more foul balls and will pitch counts be more realistic?

3. Will the pitcher and playoff fatigue bug be finally fixed?

4. Will there be shorter rotations in 5 games series?

So I can get bunt hits with Furcal.

This is the fewest number of pitches ever thrown in a complete game. I routinely get lower pitch counts in my games.

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

Is that weird fish-eye camera thing gonna be fixed (when the ball rolls to the fence)

are you gonna keep that cool code to controll the situation in the game and where the ball is hit.

Are you going to make sure that pithers hitting ability is more accurate. Hampton (gold glove D) and fatty in SF can hit.
