Don't know what caused that to happen, but fortunately the player edit function allowed me to fix that and once corrected, Griffey's numbers became more realistic. One thing that is nice is the computer AI, when it comes to pitching, is pretty impressive. After playing a season and a half, I still have games where the computer's setting career strikeout records against me with good use of the off-speed pitch. As an earlier reviewer noted, the computer does love it's minor leaguers at times. Again, though, the game does allow you to edit names and performance stats, so you can get around this with some effort.
Statistical realism is very good, home runs and scoring is well within reason.
Game runs smoothly with minor clipping at the beginning of games. Compared to other baseball games, High Heat is head and shoulders above the rest. Graphics are more than adequate with realistic stadiums and player stances and body language. Sound is also more than adequate with the announcer doing a nice job. Hecklers can stay to get monotonous, so you may want to turn them down or off all together.
