Bought this game thinking it would be the best baseball game for any handheld system. The graphics are stupendous, but what it lacks is AI. Once in awhile I'll play games where I hit a flyball and get out, then one of my guys on base runs around the bases and goes home without me telling him to. The computer lets my guy do that and it doesn't even count as a run. The AI of this game is poorest I've ever seen on any baseball game! Worse yet, it doesn't keep track of statistics!! I usually go back and play my Ken Griffey Jr. game for the original Game Boy! Not worth getting!

very fun game

This is a very good game. Batting, pitching and fielding are all very smooth, the graphics are impressive and the sound is good(the umpire really talks when he calls the pitches). The only downsides to this game are you can't steal bases and all of the players look the same (for example, all the players look White).
Overall, this game is really cool. It even has a Home Run Derby. Very good choice for both baseball fans and casual gamers.

I play this game on a Logitech Wingman joystick.
I have played the computer six times and lost five of them, some by lop-sided scores. The game seems to favor the computer players decidedly. The computer pitcher can throw fastballs, sweeping curves, etc., but my joystick pitcher does not seem to be able to throw much of a variety of pitches.
I admit I'm not a computer expert and maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it just seems the game definitely favors the computer. I play in a Pro mode. I would like a little more equality between the human and computer players. Also twice the game has crashed in the ninth inning of close games. It is fun to play, but I wouldn't rate it over 3 stars.

Nice!

Over all I love (and I mean love ) this game. But the game is WAY
to easy! With one 1 inning game I lost 1-0 but after that I won every singel game. Here are some facts that makes the game lose 2
stars.
1. You can`t steal. I always leave runners stranded on base because if you get a fly out a runner can`t steal home cause they
are at 1st base, not 3rd.
2. Walks. If a runner gets 4 balls on him (known as a walk) he isn`t awarded 1st base.
3.(The last one.) Can`t get hit. If a ball hits a batter in the helmet the ball goes right through him. I would reccomend it to little kids who don`t know much about baseball.

it's baseball

Great graphics, Home Run derby is a lot of fun but Mac hits 18 of 20 for home runs after a little practice. Fairly realistic for a handheld game. Can play a whole season but no stats, no stealing and pitchers don't tire realistically. You do have all MLB players. I love baseball, I think it's a good game and has some room to grow for next year.

The best baseball game you'll find on Game Boy Advance!

Major League Baseball High Heat baseball is the best baseball game you'll find on Game Boy Advance. You can choose from 5 different realisitic game modes:

Exhibition: This is perfect for people who want to take on game at a time. You can play as all the 30 Major League Baseball teams with up-to-date rosters.

Season: You can choose to either play a 16-game season, 81-game, or the full 162 games with real scheudules for all MLB teams.

Playoffs: This format is just like the one in baseball, 8 teams and 4 from both the American and National leagues. If you keep winning, you keep playing.

Home Run Derby: Show off your power hitting skills in any ballpark of your choice. You can bat as any player, even pitchers. You can selected one of 9 distinct pitches to hit and you can pick the area in which they pitch the ball.

Practice: This is great if you have trouble hitting a certain pitch in the game. This will help you increase your batting skills in the Season and Playoff modes.

This game has other extra options too like music, sound effects, the number of innings you want to play, and whether or not you want automatic fielding. This is a "must buy" for all baseball fanatics.

Great graphix and decent game play but......

The graphics are great...especially for the tiny screen that the GBA has. My major complaint is gameplay. I love baseball. The stats I don't care so much about. But simple things like a hit and run, stealing, performing a double switch (in your national league games) don't work on this game. Playing against the computer is interesting too. I played a 13 inning game where the closer for the computer team came in the 8th inning and pitched for five innings. Not a very realistic thing. Trading players so you can make up your own team would be nice as well. Graphics 5 stars. gameplay 1 star. Looks are nice, but gameplay is more important in my book.

THE BEST GAME EVER MADE IN THIS WORLD

This game is the best because in the game at least every hitter can hit a homerun and when you press the up button and keep on pressing it you can advance your chances for hitting a homerun. This is the Best game EVER!
So go to the stores and get one!

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!

I am baseball fanatic and played virtually all the baseball games out there. By far, this is one of the worst games. Characters are so small that it looks like sticks moving around. No realism. There was some error in my game where the opposing pitcher walked my player, but my player stopped halfway towards the first base. Seems 3D0 worked on this for a while and just quit. Terrible job, get racing games for sports but not this one.

disappointing

Although this game has good arcade value, as a baseball sim it leaves much to be desired. Basic baseball plays such as base stealing, fielding errors, and hit batters are conspicuously absent. Also, they got some basic baseball rules wrong -- for some reason when my batter drew a walk he was not awarded first base...

Overall, it is a fun diversion with attractive graphics, but I would not buy it if you expect a realistic baseball simulation.
