Best Baseball Game on Game Boy Advance

I bought last years version of this game and I was a little disappointed with my purchase. After buying this year's edition, I realized it is 10 times better. Now, you can link up with a friend to play against eachother in exhibition mode. Big improvement. Secondly, 3DO added a stealing feature which makes the game a lot more interesting. The third and final big feature it added was a stat-tracker. You can get the League Leaders for batting and pitching in Season both and Playoffs mode as well as individual player stats and team stats.

This game also has up-to-date 2002 rosters along with 9 distinct pitches, the auto-fielding option, and easy play control with exceptional graphics. A must-buy for baseball fans of all ages.

Fun Fades Fast

Perhaps I should have heeded the warnings of those who played High Heat 2002 for the GBA. Then, maybe, I would have avoided this game entirely. I generally like sports games, but this one committed the cardinal sin of gaming: it just wasn't fun.

The biggest reason for this is that the gameplay is not that great. As a batter you better swing at everything or else you'll go down looking. As a baserunner, you have the option of getting picked off...err...stealing a base. As a fielder there's next to nothing you can do to prevent stolen bases. And don't expect your pitchers to go a complete game. The sixth inning you'll be fine and in the seventh you'll be throwing up beach balls. I guess that's to simulate tiring out but it's annoying that every single pitcher poops out at the same time.

The home run derby is like the rest of the game: fun at first but ultimately dull.

I returned this game after only four days. There was no way I was going to hold on to such a dud.

Very poor game.

I'm an older gamer that bought the GBA to use while traveling. I first bought the High Heat game for the GBA because I own the PC version but I was very unhappy to see how poorly the game played on the GBA. I then took it back and traded it for the baseball advance game, which is 100 times better.
DO NOT BUY - trust me!

okay, but not quite the caliber of the computer and console

I have all 3 baseball games for the gameboy advance, and was hoping for more from All Star Baseball. Like High Heat, there is only 1 true stadium; all the others are just background pictures. That's one of the cool things about Baseball Advance, even though there are only 4 stadiums, they're the best ones. 2 classic (Fenway, Wrigley) and 2 new (Safeco and Pac Bell). Even with last year rosters, baseball advance has the best gameplay. High Heat 2003 for the computer is the best bar none, but for the gameboy advance not quite.

This game is exciting. It got too easy once (I was 156-6 with the Giants. Bonds hit 90 home-runs) but I am experimenting with other teams(e.g. Red Sox). I would rent or borrow this game. It does get addicting.
P.S. Randy Johnson and Curt Shilling aren't that great.

Excellent Playability

I was very surprised at how good this game was. I went out to buy Golden Sun but it was sold out, so I picked this up when I saw my man Schill on the front. I have never really been impressed with Baseball releases for the PC which usually are either totally boring or somewhat hard to control the play to my liking. Actually, until this one the only baseball I've ever liked is the old Superbases Loaded for the SNES. As far as High Heat goes...excellent graphics and playability. You can pick this up and just start playing right away. Just pick the type of pitch and then the location and fire away those heaters. A great feature is that the type of pitches available vary depending on that particular pitchers arsenal, so it makes it realistic. Batting takes a little practice for the timing but it's also a set up very well. Im my first game I lost to the stinkin Yankees but exacted my revenge soon enough. I would recommend this game to any baseball enthusiast who appreciates playbility, although the graphics are great too. The sound is alot better through earphones but not bad through the speaker. Very crisp sound effects as far as ball contact and throwing the ball around.
Pick this game up and have fun..(BTW...if you happen to pick the Dbacks and play in Yankee Stadium, avoid bringing in BK Kim in a relief situation)

High Heat Baseball 2003 is okay

I think this is a good game compared to Baseball Advance. I play this game so much. The only thing is they don't record saves(as baseball) There is season Exhibition Or Playoffs. This game is really enjoyable. It was my first baseball game and Curt Schilling(2001 World Serries MVP) is the spoke's person for every High Heat sold a portion of it will go to charity.
