I have played High Heat Baseball and I think it sucks. The game play wasn't good and it made weird noises in my ps2 (made my ps2 run really fast). I normally don't care for sound in sports games but sometimes there would be no music or the music would stop and you would hear a weird noise. I like the idea of the minor leagues but I had problems with setting the lineups of some of the minor league teams and setting the rotation. The Create-a-player is terrible. You can't change your guy’s looks outside of how tall he is. Though having six pitches for pitchers is a plus. The pitching sucks. You hit two buttons and hope the guy doesn't hit (Pick the pitch and then if it is a strike or a ball). Hitting is all timing (which is true in real life) but there is not enough control in it. Plus the rosters are not up to date (No Matsui or Conteras. Your guys that signed with teams late that are still free agents and the guys that got traded recently) If they had online capabilities it would not be so bad. As you can tell I hated the game, but who am I to judge, pick it up and try it if you want.

I have not played any of the other games. I probably wont try All-Star Baseball since it got the worst rankings and the graphics look terrible. I've bought the last two Triple Play games and thought they were good. I always thought a franchise mode would make the game great and it has one this year and it sounds like it is bad ass. I didn't try World Series Baseball last year since I didn't have my X-Box yet. The Dreamcast versions sucked. But it sounds a lot better. I prefer my sports games on the PS2.



World Series Baseball 2k3 got a 5.0 in fun factor, 4.5 in graphics, 4.0 in sound and 5.0 in control. I haven't played it yet but I will pick it up next time I hit the video store.

To me World Series and MVP look the best.
