Imagine my surprise as Lance Berkman stepped up to the plate and launched a ball to left center only to have the ball bounce back in the field. Instead of a home run, I get a single or double. And this happens several times a game. Equally bad are the animations. While the pitchers have nice motion, every other animation is bush league.
Batters twitch with the touch of the swing button.
If you tap the hit button rapidly you can make your batter spazz out. The problem appears to lie with an inadequate number of frames of animation for each sequence. But not all is bad in the game. High Heat is the only PS2 baseball game that lets you customize the cameras. The lousy camera in All-Star makes the game virtually unplayable, so the ability to change camera in High Heat was a big plus.
