I remember when MS decided to kill NFL Fever for the PC in favor of making it a great Xbox game for the console release. We know what happened with that move. So I hold out little hope for the High Heat code being used for anything. When people speculate about MS and their purchase of High Heat, you...

I'm 42. Late to gaming. Started about 10 years ago when i got a computer and picked up a copy of FPS Football Pro out of the bargain bin at Target. Haven't stopped since. My wife has a secret passion - she watches the soaps. We give ourselves slack on our hobbies. We both like to travel, sports, rea...

"I think the best playing game is MLB, the best looking game is MVP and the best franchise mode is ASB. " Bill, I assume you mean the PC version of MVP? I thought ASB on the Xbox looked a lot better than MVP on the Xbox. As for best playing game? Well, I dug out my old computer and have been playing...

I think what is frustrating to me is that there is just so damn much to like about this game but some of the gameplay issues are frustrating. I will have to try some other form of hitting - because zone just is too easy. I hate cursor hitting, but I will play around with it. There is some very cool ...

How in the hell do you utilize the analog swing? It is not mentioned in the manual that I can find and I have tried everything to enable it but can't seem to find where to do it.

"(And any company that releases a game with a slider like "bullpen grace fatigue" without also including some explanation of what the hell that means, loses all of its publishing privileges for a year, if we're truly playing by my rules.)" No kidding! If companies don't want to cut into their profit...

Sometimes when a team wins it all they come back the next year with a lack of motivation. I think Syracuse has a lot of emotion because they are trying to prove that they are a lot more than Carmelo. Also, I think winning it last year took that monkey off Boeheim's back. They won't play tight.

Two topics in one post. Don't want to hog the forum. Well, Ebay.com alerted me that half.com is going to be shut down and merged with Ebay. To me, that sucks. I was used to half.com and I liked it. I am not big on auctions. Usually, I like to find a price and buy it. If I have to bid, that gives me ...

This is not meant as a criticism, but what is the difference between the way the user takes a power swing in MVP and the separate power button in ESPN baseball? In both cases, the user chooses to hit for the fences, and in both cases this can lead to a bomb or a weak popup. (or something in between ...

Not to change the subject but.... What has made this game playable for me is playing the AA and AAA teams. Does the game play perfectly? No, but i think that the lower ratings of all the players tend to reduce the number of triples and diving catches and other little problems. If there was a way to ...

This should be the best baseball game yet - simply based on the fact that it is the next game out! Of course, by next week it will suck and ESPN Baseball will be shaping up as the best game of the season. I have never taken to this game for one reason or another. But I will be in line to get it the ...

I think what bothers people about games - and about EA particular - is that the focus is often on issues other than gameplay. One thing the High Heat series did was focus on gameplay. In the first year, the game didn't even have the ML license and the players were sprites! But a lot of people liked ...

No, it is HH 2002 that does not work with XP.

"Man, you REALLY are abrasive (maybe even somewhat of an ass). Not saying that it is necessarily a bad thing, just an observation." <BR> <BR>Man, what do you expect from a CANE FAN?? Hugs and cute little bunnies?? <BR> <BR>To add to the MVP love fest, I put it on half.com. I will keep playing it til...

"I have a question for everyone posting impressions...how many of you played last year´s MVP enough to be good at it?" <BR> <BR>That is a very good point. I have certainly played games that I didn´t like at first (NCAA 2000 for the PSX) that became favorites (I sold it and later bought it back again...

If the press doesn´t leave OJ alone, how is he supposed to find the time to locate the real killers???

OK, maybe I suck at pitching, but I have a big problem or simply a personal dislike of the pitching interface. <BR> <BR>I feel like pitching in MVP is based more on the ability to use the gamepad than it is knowing how to pitch. For example, if you have an 0-2 count and you are pitching with Pedro a...

My only impression so far has to do with the manual (I am at work). Per usual, it sucks. It does not even list the options available or the sliders. Once you get past the epilepsy warning you have about a dozen pages of info. The more complex games get, the less manual they give us. EA should do wha...

I have not seen this at my local (North Atlanta Metro) EB´s or anywhere else for that matter.
<BR>
<BR>I would love to pick up Rivals and Top SPin if I could find them for this price.

Evidently Bush is so mad at Kenny Lay that he is pushing for the maximum penalty for Martha.
<BR>
<BR>Call me cynical, but if the defendent was named Mark Stewart, charges would not have even been filed.

1) FPS Sierra Football Pro 97 (PC) <BR> <BR>A lot of Football Pro people might disagree with the version, but this was the first year that you could create custom plays and game plans and setup the AI teams to use them. It took a lot of work, but I set up a 30 team college league with custom everyth...

´I never really trust what Dell or Gateway is giving me in a package. Whether it be generic memory, or a motherboard, I just want to be able to pick the brand, and the quality that fits my budget and my needs.´ <BR> <BR>Great point. I have been satisfied with my latest Dell - but I also felt like th...

I am intrigued by all that has been added by MVP. The minor leagues (and the ability to play those games as well) adds even more to the game. That is a lot of work to put all of those teams and uniforms into the game. <BR> <BR>But it all comes down to gameplay. I saw one preview that rated WSBB high...

I don´t have a problem with SUV´s - just the people who drive them! <BR> <BR>I am talking specifically about those who use them as a weapon and practically drive you off the road in their attempt to get past you. I also don´t like those drivers who drive their Expedition down the road with a cigaret...

The PC gaming community is hurting anyway, and pay to play won´t help things.
