So then, one would expect that High Heat Baseball 2002 would meld the control and elegance of High Heat's gameplay with the graphical power of the PS2 to create baseball nirvana. Well, half of this sentence is correct. When played, it definitely seems like it could be a PS2 title. Players are not very polygonal, the stadia and uniforms are very detailed, shadows are realistic, etc., etc., etc. But there are so many problems with the graphics that one wonders whether 3DO are resting on their gameplay laurels.
Animations often jump from one disjointed frame to another.
Bernie Williams, for example, begins his at-bat in his trademark crouch. Attention to detail is wonderful. Even when animations are strung together, they tend to be jerky or just fake looking. Diving for a grounder looks more like a belly flop. Poorly linked animations are probably one of the worse graphical problems in the game.
