Stuttering framerate on pitches (Xbox version)

[WayneVegas]

I'm loving this game, but I have found that on several occasions it seems like the animation skips on incoming pitches. It seems to happen for me on certain ball parks...especially in the rain. I'll go several games without a problem then it seems like it happens for a few innings. It's like every other frame is missing as the pitch is coming in. It can be very subtle, but was I notice it..it becomes very annoying. I have add a freeze in the game...just wondering if I have a bad burn on the CD. I don't have any problems with other games and never get disc dirty errors with my Xbox. Anyone else experience this?

I have the same problem, as well as choppy audio. It seems that 3do left the same problems as the PC versions of the past.
Still the best sim on the market.

I have the choppy audio as well, however I have it in many of my games, so I always just figure it is my Xbox (a launch day box). I am getting close to sending it in to have it looked at.

I noticed when playing the reds in Cincy that a few times the ball appeared jumpy on it's way to the plate, haven't noitced it in other games.

The Audio is just not patched together real well, poor transistions or something.

I have the choppy audio in HH as well. I don't think to my knowledge that my other games do this, so I'm assuming 3D0 was the one that left this mishap in the game. Are the rest of you hearing choppy audio as well?

I don't seem to have the audio or framerate problem..

I did however turn the announcers off(slider all the way down)...maybe that's why!

Re: Stuttering framerate on pitches (Xbox version)

I'm getting stuttering framerates during each and every replay (especially when crossing home plate and celebrating after a homerun), and during throws to first base. I haven't experienced this during incoming pitches, but the game does seem to slow down at times (i.e. during fielder animations and fly balls to outfield) as well. Also, the pitch selection menu seems a bit slow to load after each play. I haven't had any lockups or noticed the sound skipping or coming in and out as I did with last season's game on PS2, but I can barely hear the crowd even with the volume up. I know the crowd doesn't do much, but HH2003 seemed louder at the higher setting.

I expected to really like HH2004 on Xbox (it certainly looks cleaner and has good gameplay), but the slowdown and framerate problems are affecting my enjoyment of the game (especially when my HH2003 copy ran better on a PS2 CD). I'm starting to think that various Xbox hardware are sensitive to this game, particularly with regard to the DVD drive. This is my second Xbox with the Thompson drive, which I've had trouble with. I bought the newer bundle after having problems with my first Xbox. I later found out that Microsoft was using different drive manufacturers and that my newer one had the same drive as the older unit. I'm not sure if they're still using the Thompson, but by many accounts, the Philips and Samsung versions are of better quality and the Samsung can play and rip CD-RWs.
