Amazon.com Review:
3DO's High Heat Baseball titles have been the most realistic simulations of the great American pastime for the past two years. This year's version of the game, Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001, would build upon the series' reputation even without the help of its big-name endorsement.
Sammy Sosa High Heat Baseball 2001 has everything a hard-core baseball fan could hope for: accurate and comprehensive statistics, realistic plays, dramatic pitcher/batter matchups, and even a full minor league system to manage and call upon during the season. On the field, this year's High Heat looks better than previous incarnations, with more detailed players and a wider array of player animations (such as outfielders running into walls and diving players holding up their gloves to show that they caught the ball).
But the real appeal of the game lies in its accurate portrayal of the sport. Each game played in High Heat 2001 unfolds like a real baseball game, where bunts are just as important as home runs and starting pitchers don't always survive past the fourth inning. To win, players must think like a big-league manager and take care to bring in the correct players for certain situations. And as you earn that come-from-behind victory with a clutch RBI single in the bottom of the 12th, you can count on the game tracking and storing a wealth of stats for you to peruse after the game. In fact, you can check over a complete (and incredibly thorough) score sheet after each game and watch video highlights to see the big plays that affected the outcome.
Aside from a few graphics errors (such as huge green, untextured areas outside of some stadiums) and an intermittent bug that pops up when performing a double switch, High Heat 2001 is about the best baseball game ever produced. If you're into baseball for more than just home runs and strikeouts, this is the game for you. --Michael E. Ryan
Pros: - Most realistic arcade baseball game on the market
- Accurately captures the strategic feel of a real baseball game
- Excellent statistics model
- Good, speedy pace to the game
Cons: - Graphics are still not world-class
- Play-by-play is lifeless and boring
- Occasional graphics errors and program bugs pop up

I've tried "Triple Play" and "Hardball", and rate
"High Heat" higher than both. This copy has served
me for two years. It's plusses are many.
It has the first and foremost necessity to be a good
baseball game: intuitive pitching and hitting. Being
able to catch the corners and trick a batter is what
makes a baseball game playable and replayable.
There is good detailing about the players, and attention was
paid ... Read More

WOW!!!!
Play for as long as you want! really..... Great game! Good downloads, patches ,ect.....
looks, feels, sounds like the real thing. The fact that you can make your own players, make the HOF, be on the DL for over a year....well it is just like the real thing, I know I said that already but this is the FIRST AND LAST game you will every need. an the idea that I can play many many many many.......ect, seasons ....well nothing else is needed!

I don't usually play sports games, but I am a baseball fan and I played the previous two games in this series. All I have to say is that I have played hundreds of games in career mode, guiding the Tribe through several seasons, and I've never gotten bored with it. The pitcher-batter interface is the key to the game; there is a steep learning curve to successful hitting, I found, but after many games I have topped out at being a pretty good hitter (my team usually leads the league in offense). However, ... Read More

I was one of the biggest advocates of EA's Triple Play series. After the letdown of Triple Play 2000 and 2001, (They haven't made a good one since 1998) I began to be turned off by PC Baseball games. Until, I found HH 2000.
And this game, HH 2001, is even better than its predesessor. The graphics are gorgeous. The AI is the most intelligent I have ever seen in a baseball game. The physics are pinpoint accurate. Outfielders can't throw laser beams from the wall to the catcher in 2 seconds. The pitcher/batter ... Read More

The game has it all! I enjoy simulation games, but am always looking to spice up my game collection with gear that uses different approaches to that same-old-song-and dance. Sammy Sosa's High Heat Baseball 2001 gave me the simulation/management aspect of the game, while allowing me to play the game as well (if I choose to do so).
Truth be told, I bought the game as an alternative to some other sports games, because it had the ability to be more than just "Baseball Mogul" or some glorified fantasy baseball simulation. ... Read More
