One factor to consider with walking is foul balls. You can sit and watch the CPU throw you many strikes, that is for sure. But in real life, most walks are earned through foul balls. In real life, good hitters draw walks by fouling off the marginal strikes and taking the balls. I, however, do not ha...

bdoughty - thanks for your reply. From the Merriam Webster site defining the word "pornography": <BR> <BR>1 : the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement <BR>2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to c...

Well, as a card-carrying prude, I´ve got to say that I am extremely glad that I TiVoed my way through the halftime show. I was pretty sure that it was going to be a big T&A show. Who knew just how bad it would be? <BR> <BR>Guys, you can say that this is material only suitable for grown-ups, but I wo...

At first I thought Leiter was terrible too. However, as the broadcast wore on he became more comfortable and began saying more insightful things. And he did kind of call the Sosa shot. <BR> <BR>I thought Lyons did a good job of drawing him out. Al Leiter knows a thing or two about the game and I wou...

Rob- <BR> <BR>Thank you for the kind words. I agree that Stoney is pretty good. He just sounds so earnest all the time. But once you get used to his style it´s OK. I always loved when he´d very dramatically say, "And now the game is on the shoulders of one Randall Kirk Myers". <BR> <BR>Anyhow, I qui...

I just have to jump in with book recommendations. <BR> <BR>_Pure Baseball_ is outstanding. That will make you appreciate the game in a way you never thought possible. <BR> <BR>_The Thinking Fan´s Guide to Baseball_ by Leonard Koppett is also outstanding. Koppett is one of the few press box insiders ...

I travelled to London on business in early November of ´99. Up until then my only soccer experience was my pathetic attempts at playing as a youth in the ´burbs (I was fat. If the ball got to me I cleared it) and the lone Tampa Bay Mutiny game I attended in ´96 or ´97. I woke up in the middle of the...

I haven´t played WSB yet because Sega hasn´t come up with a review copy and I haven´t been able to find it in any of my local Blockbusters. I will rent it if I see it, but I´m not going to plunk down $45 just to try it out. <BR> <BR>I´m not sure who said that HH "sucks", but I would take that opinio...

We should have a WSB review for the PS2 up in a couple of weeks. I too am anxious to try it.

PK - interesting that you don´t like the high breaks on balls in HH. I don´t think that it´s so far off from reality though. In order for a big Barry Zito curveball to do it´s thing it has to get higher than the batter´s head. That is what you get in HH. It may seem cartoonish, but that´s how balls ...

Thanks for the feedback. Through testing the various cursors I must have only used the classic cursor with hitters that had the same contact rating. Given that the new 3D cursor was what Akklaim was really touting, I tried to use that for the majority of my gameplay. Ick! <BR> <BR>I´ll take your wor...

Paul -- <BR> <BR>I think you have it boiled down to the fundamental issue. What is most important to each of us as a gamer? For me, I have spent hours of playing Diamond Mind Baseball. I look at High Heat 2004 as its graphical equivalent. To me, the most important thing is an accurate simulation of ...

Look for a review to come up in a couple of weeks. I want to make sure the game gets a pretty thorough examination.

Has anyone seen this yet? I´m trying to decide whether to ask for the PC or PS2 version for Christmas. As far as my PC goes: the old grey mare she ain´t what she used to be. But I´m a bit skeptical of doing TrueSwing with the analog stick on the PS2. <BR> <BR>Anyone have any opinions? <BR> <BR>Thank...
