Editorial reviewSource:
AmazonWhile improving on the graphics of previous PlayStation installments in the series,
High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 looks to retain and even improve its reputation for realistic simulation. Player models, stadiums, and other in-game visuals have been totally redesigned, but they haven't thrown the baby out with the bath water. The game builds on the features of the much-acclaimed PC versions, such as adjustable skill levels for the game's athletes, unusual errors (like balks), bullpen warm-up routines for your relief staff, and realistic baseball physics (as opposed to the long-ball arcade play of other titles).
Detailed player editor allows for unlimited appearance possibilities
Career mode features free agent pool, trades, and an annual amateur draft
