Re: High Heat 2004 Anything & Everything Thread

Ok, Opening Weekend at Sarge's!!
High Heat - at Florida. Picked up right where I left off last year. Actually, it was eerily similar to last opening day. Santana got rocked. 4 IP, 4 runs, 9 hits. My offense was nowhere to be found. Marlins 5, Mets 1. Decent game, but i just can't seem to get anything going at the plate. It seemed to take a while to get in a good pitching groove. My pen was pretty good. Good variety of hits. I got my only run on a Castillo triple and Reyes Sac Fly. I used the same settings I described earlier. Pitcher's park, so I had power down to 6. No homers in the game. Pitch speed was at 7, I may put it to 8 or 9.
Also opened my short season on The Show. This really is a fabulous game. I lost to Seattle 4-1. I am just terrible at the plate. Johan pitched well - Sean Green gave up a two run homer in the 8th. But this game felt really good, too. This is going to be fun - playing mainly with HH, but getting a really good look at The Show, too.

Thanks, bsb!
As much of a High Heater as I am, I really am getting very into the Show. It is hard to admit, but I do think HH may have been topped in my opinion. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind a few hundred times over the season!!
Still going with my dual season. Time has been hard to come by, but I have gotten in a few more games of HH. I got swept by Florida in my opening series. My hitting is terrible. Pelfrey and Maine were ok, but they would have had to pitch shutouts to win. Then we went to Montreal for three. I got shut out in the opener as Oliver was decent. My pen has been great, but I just can't hit to save my life. This afternoon, we finally got off the schneid. Beltran hit a home run (his first hit of the year) and we led 3-0. Livan Hernandez gave it right back in the bottom of the inning. Oh no!!! I must have forgotten to turn off the "comeback code"!!! (Yes, I do read alot of the posts in the SCEA threads!) In the 7th, we manufactured a run and in the 8th, Reyes hit a solo shot and Putz and K-Rod did their stuff and we got our first win. Tonight, I'm going to try to get another game in of HH and close out the series in Montreal. I haven't had any more games in my 29 game Show season, but I've played around a bit and like I said, I'm VERY impressed.Will probably fire up my second season game sometime this week.

Re: High Heat 2004 Anything & Everything Thread

Well, I have been playing The Show for almost 2 months now and even though its not a bad game...I think I'm gonna go back to HH again. For some reason I just think HH is much funner to play. Maybe if they would just overhaul the fielding I would like The Show better, and I still think players are too much a like in that game. Some times its hard to tell one player from the next IMO. Thats one thing I love about HH...ratings matter big time in just about every aspect of the game. Especially if you adjust the simulation sliders.

Anyone have a Xbox roster for this game?

Re: High Heat 2004 Anything & Everything Thread

XBOX please! It's been done before I had it in 2007 and 2006. I wish they'd convert the all time teams onto xbox to make the game timeless. In other words, no stressing about roster updates.

I don't think your going to have any luck. Making rosters for the XBOX is extremely hard, and for those who know to do so, there really isn't a big enough audience for them to do it. Sorry guys.

Re: High Heat 2004 Anything & Everything Thread

Can anyone post a site with all mods necessary to update my game? Hopefully all of the new stadiums/uniforms are out there somewhere. I already have pudges rosters.

Re: High Heat 2004 Anything & Everything Thread

Just because I was bored I decided to read a Gamespy interview with Curt Schilling about HH 2004. And hear was a couple of questions about MVP...



GameSpy: Your teammate, Randy Johnson, is on the cover of EA's baseball game. Do you guys ever talk trash about each other's games?

Curt Schilling: You know, I would talk trash with Randy if there were comparisons, but he has an arcade baseball game. You know, he's a rookie in the market and that's fine for him. My game is aimed to please people that actually know what the game of baseball is supposed to be like.

GameSpy: You at least gotta make fun of him for not having the box to himself like you do, right? [Editor's Note: Johnson shares the box of MVP Baseball with Oakland's Miguel Tejada.] Curt Schilling: Yeah, and that's fine. That's exactly the thing though. They had to attract customers with two guys on the box, and High Heat attracts customers because it's a great




....lol, I thought that was funny. I actually love MVP.

Does anybody know how to tell when your pitcher is warmed-up in the bullpen? I never really used to warm-up feature before but I tried it out and I couldn't figure out how to tell when someone was warm.

Hi, bsb,
I don't think you can. I usually give it about 2 or 3 batters or just start warming up in my half of the inning.
