And oddly, they're not down by much. Indeed, a brighter day has come for our 3DO friends and that day is called High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 for the PS2. This game plays much like it does on the PSX , but it looks far better. The animations themselves look great and are a marvel of motion-capturing genius. Evey stadium is represented accurately.
Players look very good and the overall feel is solid.
Unfortunately, the snazzier graphics seem to have cost a pretty penny in the editing room. The little player animations don't run together seamlessly, often leading to abrupt blinks and a lack of in-between animations. Though the stark contrast between cool animation and crappy editing is pretty irritating and mars the game's appearance, it's still a genral step up from the PSX version. It lacks the precision and intelligence that makes batting in the MLB games so much fun, but at the same time it's way more complicated than the no-brainer swing of the TP series. The problem with batting is that you need to aim your swing at the location of the ball in order to be able to get a decent hit.
