    Re: High Heat Sightings and First Impressions here...

    just to build off something someone said, and to be the voice of reason before we riot....
    1) it's happening to a lot of people, but only once....maybe it's a very rare occurance per game (meaning, it'll only happen to me once a month, you once a month...etc)
    Let's let this play out a little bit before we go too nuts.

    I know, you're going to say it should never happen, and you're totally right, but let's find out how big a problem this really is before we start going into mass hysteria.

    It is a pretty darn good game overall, and I'd hate to see us lose sight of that fact over something that we haven't yet identified as a frequent occurance.

        Wheels, I appreciate your attempt to be a voice of reason in a hailstorm of ... well, hail, but (and it's a big but) I played 4 games and saw it. And there are double digits number of people who have already experienced it not even 24 hours into the game.

        It's not imaginary. This happened within 4 games to me. So don;t bury your head in the sand and say it's going to be ok. B/C there's a boatload of people who've been bit by this bug and it ain't even a day old. But if you want to buy my game for $50, I won;t say another word.

            I wish I was as optomistic as you Wheels.

                I hope you are right and this bug is not too frequent. What worries me though is that it is happening to so many people and it will probably happen much more than once a month. I am a huge fan of HH 2003 and there were at least 10 games in my season where a runner was on third with two outs and the batter hit a fly ball. It would be very frustrating if I had to restart a game too often because of this bug.

                    Re: High Heat Sightings and First Impressions here...

                    johnny, my point is, now note when the next time it happens to you is. If it happens again 4 games from now, that's trouble.....
                    but if it's a once in 100 game thing, it's not that big a deal...I still haven't heard of it happening to the same person twice.

                    Let's work the problem here people, let's not make things worse by guessing.
                    Bonus points for the movie that came from.

                        Re: High Heat Sightings and First Impressions here...

                        The movie? "Who's on Third" the Abbott and Costello sequel to the classic.

                        Your point is well made but, I won;t play a franchise game of any magnitude when I knowthat the rules of the game may or may not apply. So what do I do? Wait until it happens again and realize I have 20 safe games until it happens again? Come on. Intellivision baseball - yes. Ps2 baseball -- get lost. Give me WSB.

                            I still say until proven otherwise, you're overreacting, especially by going out and getting another, inferior, game.

                                It hasn't happened to the same guy twice because they turned the game off.
