 Blast!!! April 9, 2002
Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001 is a BLAST, literally. It has splendid graphics and when it comes to gameplay it is very lifelike. I got this game and quit playing it for a month because I couldn't hit off the pitcher. If you want a game that is life like and chalenging then this game is for you. It is hard to get into the groove and controls of the game at first because there are so many controls, but if you get the hang of it then you can't put it down. Since I have picked it up and tried to play it (2 months ago) I could not put it down. I think that they make the CPU (computer) a little too hard to beat but if you practise then you can beat them. I beat the CPU 45% of the time. Also if you are having troubble then try this and if it works spread the word because I just found this out 2 weeks ago: 1. Choose the Angles 2. give the closer 100% fastball and 1 other pitcher on your team 3. take the other pitcher that you have given the 100% fastball and throw a few fastballs and see their speed 4. Bring out the closer and throw his fastball a couple of times too 5. compare the speeds The normal pither's fastball sould be 98MPH and the closer's sould be 102MPH. If you look in the editing screen it will say that the closer has more throwing stength/pitching power than normal pitchers.
So if you are going to turn down this game because it is hard then just try what I said and practise. ALOT

Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001 is a very good game. It is very fun and enjoyable. The graphics are not the greatest but who cares? When you are having fun playing it you kinda forget about the graphics. The gameplay is awesome and I also like how it has a boxscore after every single game in the season for every team! If you like baseball I would fully recommend this game. High Heat hits a grand slam!

Let me begin by saying that I have never given a product a 5 star rating. People abuse the star system. You have to rate a product as compared to the best of it's kind. To date, High Heat Baseball 2001 is the best baseball game I have ever encountered. I had to cut a half star for a few flaws that the game has, as does every game. The game graphics are decent. One of the main problems is when a team executes a sacrifice fly. The ball can be hit to the shallow outfield with a legitimate chance of a play at the plate. You try to throw to the plate and it goes to the cutoff man EVERY time, allowing the run to score. It it too easy to steal bases. Roger Cedeno has 85 SB in less than half a season. Enough said. Sometimes when you hit a ball to the wall, it looks as if the ball went over the fence, but wait, the outfielder miraculously catches the ball without a jump over the fence, making the gameplay LOOK somewhat shady. The commentary is horrible. With the combination of the commentary and the difficult gameplay the first time you play it, I thought it was going to be a flop. However, I got better at the game and got use to the commentary. Enough about the negative. The realistic feel of the gameplay is enough to overpower the bad and then some. All of the statistics are realistic. No player hits 95 homeruns with 215 RBI's in a season. (See Triple Play 2001). The fielding action is the best ever, along with the pitcher/batter interface. You can actually tell if it's going to be a ball or a strike, unlike that of the competitors. Another important factor that makes HH 2001 my first selection is the competitiveness of the AI. You actually get beat just like all of the teams in the pros. My winning percentage is right at .580, completely realistic. This game did not get the credit it deserved because 3DO is not in the spotlight. TP and MLB series are the mainstream games, and also the worst and most overrated baseball games I have ever played. If you want realistic gameplay and some competitive AI, go with the HH 2001. I just purchased a PS2. With all of the great games already out for the playstation 2, I can't seem to pry myself from the awesome HH 2001. Can't wait for HH 2002 for the PS2.

After the failure of Triple Play 2001, I got this game, hoping it would be better. It wasn't. The graphics are lackluster, and if you don't concentrate on every single pitch, the other team will most likely hit a home run. Also, when a fielder has the ball, he throws it to the first baseman instead of the pitcher. That's one thing they really need to fix.

High Heat 2001 comes up short in a lot of ways (graphics, sound) but it's fast-paced (unlike MLB 2001) and realistic (unlike Triple Play 2001). If only the three could get together. A feature I liked about the PC version was the ability to chose your field no matter what team you were playing with (i.e. the Whitesox in Enron). Since, Comiskey is a weak stadium it would have been nice to move your team to various parks (even mid-season, game to game).
