Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

On the pitcher view -- has the crowd been corrected? You should not see the crowds feet. It looked like the seats were on top of the backstop.

The first rows should be the tops of the fans heads. In fact, yu should never see a fans feet unless they're in the aisle or going up/down the stairs.

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

Here are my questions:

1. Are the ball-park seats the actual color that they are in real life?

2. Will we hear more than "Stepping up to the plate now is player name" when a batter comes up to bat? I would like more varied commentary such as Coming up now is and Diigin will be and Facing the pitcher next is.......

3. Will homeruns bounce off of things in the stands?

4. Are the graphics and animations improved?

5. Are pitches still too floaty?

Thanks....

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

How about a list of names (a la NCAAB2K3) that the computer announcers will recognize if used on a created or edited player?

Re: High Heat 2004 Interview Questions

I agree. Any player who is on a 40-man roster should have their name in the game recorded by the announcers (even if they aren't an MLBPA member) Perhaps, to go even further, any top prospects should also have their names announced.

the FRANCHISE mode

Whatever game the best FRANCHISE mode is the BEST game. Here's my question: PLEASE SEND THIS ONE:

Tell me EVERYTHING you possibly can about the franchise mode. Is there going to be a farm team? Are the farm players going to be projectable so you can tell that someone is going to be a Super Star, a Starter, or a 5th outfielder, etc. Is there going to be a draft in the franchise mode? Is the computer going to help you and tell the the best overall player to pick at that time? Are there going to be managerial changes? Are there going to be teams with higher payrolls then others? For example: The Yankees have so much more money then the Expos. Will there be many minor league players involved. Will one of the atributes for players be an ability for them to develop? Etc...

One more question:

Please inform me about the create-a-player mode. When you create a player, can you create a farm player? Can you set the players age? Etc...

Re: the FRANCHISE mode

1. Will we be able to edit players' accessories??? I would like to be able to edit wristbands, batting gloves, shoes, high-socks, armour, etc. (similar to Madden). I think that is would add a great deal of realism and customability and would help out with the "graphics problem" by not having all the players look the same.

2. Will the computer use the lineups that we create? After I spend hours creating rosters and lineups, I would like to see the computer use my authentic lineup. Last year, during season play, the computer would always default Ray Durham to batting clean-up. (PS2) Has this problem been fixed?

Thanks
