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

    First of all, I like the game and think it is a definite upgrade from last year. I do have a couple of questions:
    What is the Pitcher Control Sim slider, does it affect the AI's ability to control and spot its' pitches?
    And the Pitch Count slider, what is it for?

        That policy doesn't go into effect until March 16th and I'm assuming that anything bought prior to that date still falls under the old policy. It's a shame that a good thing comes to an end, but the renters ruined it for everyone.
        No, I didn't draft Grossman on my fantasy team, what do you think I am an idiot?

            The Yankees do actually have Contreras and Matsui. They just have fake names since they weren't part of the MLBPA at the time of the Roster. You just need to go in to the player editor and change their names. It's pretty obvious who they are when you look at the roster.

            Havent seen the runner scoring from 3rd error yet, but have only played a few games. As far as the slow down goes, I have noticed it, but it hasn't hampered my ability to play the game. So I wouldnt say it's terrible slow down. But it is there.

                Well, this 2 out issue doesn't seem to be happening to everyone yet. The slowdown does however.

                I'm stumped on wether I should open this copy or not......Damn, what a disappoitment, I never expected a bug that huge to be anything more than a one time occurence.

                    Play the game, I really don't believe about the 2 outs bug, this game is not a first generation game, even in a first generation game, it would be a bug easy to see and fix. I don't have the game and I won't [ waiting for WSB ] but I played a lot HH last year, that's could'n be true.

                        Dude, I don't want to believe it but theres been at least 7 posts about it on OS, simcentral, and gamefaqs.

                        It's something to look at right now.

                            if this 2-outs-but-score-from-third thing is true, that's terrible. no excuse for that.

                            hopefully it is fixed in future versions (is anyone else besides me considering buying the game for gamecube?).

                            anyway, i have a few questions for people who bought the game.

                            1. last year i wasn't striking out nearly enough with default pitch speeds so i bumped them up to the max (well, only bumped up changeups a couple). this fixed the problem, but caused a new problem. catchers began throwing out base stealers too easily because of the decreased time in which the pitches took to reach the plate. so i messed around with the fielders' arms slider a little. i think i fixed the problem but honestly don't remember (i got rid of my ps2 and hh 2003 because of disc read errors). could someone who bumps up pitch speeds check on this issue?

                            2. the only other problem i had last year was errors (had to bump 'em up a little to get realistic results). this was the only other slider i touched last year. cook, you touched on this, but maybe you or someone else could elaborate?

                            3. i always wondered about warming up pitchers. i love how hh makes you warm up your pitchers. a couple of questions about this, because i don't know how satisfied i was with last year's warm-up model.
                            -say you warm up a pitcher, and then sit him down. will he be warm? for how long after you sit him down? does the instruction manual touch on this?
                            -does the instruction manual say how many pitches it takes (pitches for the pitcher in the game) for a reliever to get warm? i think last year it was 10...

                            4. how is the trade ai? i hate bad trade ai (*cough* madden *cough*). in madden, the jets will give up a #1 pick for marshall faulk even though they have curtis martin. is hh's as bad? if so, i won't be trading...

                            as you can see, i am a stickler. i like my sports games real.

                            anyway, i had a couple of other questions, but i forgot them while typing these. thanks to anyone who answers.

                                I wouldn't believe it my friend. This is most likely a rumor started by a troll. There is NO WAY a bug like that would have escaped not only the developers but the game testers as well, not to mention reviewers who have had beta copies of the game for weeks now.
