I know there are some of us who are still (or going to be) playing High Heat 2004, so this thread is to post anything you want regarding HH 2004. Doesnt matter if its stories about your franchise, gameplay settings, roster discussions or whatever it may be, feel free to post it here.
I'll probably start posting in this thread once I get my new copy in the mail. Hopefully this thread wont die on the vine. Anyway, High Heat away people :-)[Reply]

Great idea. I'm going to run down to gamestop today and pick up a copy for my PS2. I'll probably be posting in this thread from time to time.

Is there anyway to convert the pc rosters and dowload them using my xsata. I did this with NFL 2k5, I am playing it on my 360. I have the program loaded on my laptop , and if there is anyway to do it, i will try to make it happen.

okay, seeing as there is some interest in the HH series again, i'll post up the readme i made regarding the slider settings i used for the PC version (keep in mind though that the pc version had a tune file i used to edit as well for gameplay changes, so these might not be perfect for the console version).
Slider settings
The way I designed both the tune and animDB file was in sync with the slider settings. Everyone is welcome to try whichever settings they find is best, but I tested the game with these specific settings for the best results. Below is a list of what I would like you to change your sliders to. Note: all values are starting from 0 being the slider bar completely empty from the left
Ex, hitting power being 1 means only one click from left, so most of the bar would be completely empty
Run Speeds
CPU B.R.S. – 6
CPU F.S. - 5
HUM B.R.S. – 6
HUM F.S. - 5
Throwing Speed
-all set at 5
Misc
E.F. – 5
I.F. – 6
P.C. – 8
P.C.S. – 2
P.F. - 6
Pitch Speeds
-all set to 8 except fastball set to 7. (globally speeds up pitches)
Batting
CPU Hit - 4 after playing several years into franchise, I have lowered this to 3 I believe
CPU Pow -4
HUM Hit -5 after playing several years into franchise, I have lowered this to 4 I believe
HUM Pow -5
Foul Ball -7 6 also is a good setting
Hum Contact Ease - 5
***Game simulation speed always set to 8 when I play***
If you do have a choice between console and pc version, i highly recommend the pc version since it is a lot easier to use files and mod the game for everything from sounds, graphics, rosters, to gameplay. If you are looking to buy either 04 or 03, i'd go with 04 for several reasons. In 2003 the game had some throwing bug of sorts where teh throw from second base came in really weak, making double plays really difficult to pull off. Also, there was a foul ball bug where the ball would be recorded as a HR when it was foul and lastly a bug where a run would count from 3rd even if there were two outs and the third out recorded on a force play. 04 is the way to go from what i remember.

Keirik: Do you remember what the "Recommended System Requirements" were for High Heat 2004 on PC? My computer is fairly old and I'm wondering if HH 2004 would run smoothly on it.
Picked up the PS2 version from Gamestop this morning for $2.99.
Played an exhibition game this morning, Philadelphia vs Montreal. Gotta love they still have the Vet in the game! I ended up losing 7-6, but both teams had a ton of hits 20 for Montreal, and 17 for myself. I was playing on the "pro" level. Also, no homeruns. Is this normal? Should I be playing at a different level? Maybe some sliders?
I'd like to get my season started, but I'll wait until I hear from you guys regarding game settings.

Just played my first game in about 2 months it was Yankees at Cubs(me). I won the game 1-0.
Kerry Wood pitched a GC 7 IP, 7k, 5 BB, 3Hits 109 Pitches.
If I could only find my Maxdrive and update the rosters I would play a season.

What settings are you using? I assume this is PS2?

Thanks Miget. Did you get these from somewhere, or are these your own sliders?
Also, the version that I picked up today didn't come with an instruction guide. Should I hold the d-pad up to hit more home runs, or press another button while swinging? If I recall, there's only one swing button, unlike some games where there's a 'normal' and 'power' swing button. I like the one button approach because I think it's more realistic.
