GMR MagazineStill the best baseball sim there is. [Apr 2003, p.65]
-
Basically unchanged with a few recognizable additions and accuracies to a sport that only the passionate truly enjoys, this title's illustrious career isn't quite over.
-
PC GamerThe interface itself is just plain bizarre: A complete lack of mouse support makes manipulating your rosters and searching through stats more of a chore than it should be. [June 2003, p.72]
-
The gameplay is still loads of fun, and continues to deliver great and memorable moments. The sorry state of the franchise mode, however, is a real problem.
-
While you should be enjoying yourself, considering who should be hitting cleanup versus lefties, among other things, you'll instead find yourself constantly thinking about how much easier everything would be with a drag-and-drop interface.

Computer Gaming WorldA complete lack of mouse support is the painful tip of this iceberg. [June 2003, p.104]
-
Sure, the arcade side of the game remains commendable, but with broken franchise AI, a lack of mouse support, horrifically frustrating interface, and no online play, High Heat 2004 is one of the worst console ports imaginable that regrettably shouldn't have been developed as a console port in the first place.

JimS.Jun 29, 2003The AI stinks unless you like 22-17 baseball games. Career and Franchise mode are not user friendly. Graphics are fine though.
