Major League Baseball High Heat baseball is the best baseball game you'll find on Game Boy Advance. You can choose from 5 different realisitic game modes:

Exhibition: This is perfect for people who want to take on game at a time. You can play as all the 30 Major League Baseball teams with up-to-date rosters.

Season: You can choose to either play a 16-game season, 81-game, or the full 162 games with real scheudules for all MLB teams.

Playoffs: This format is just like the one in baseball, 8 teams and 4 from both the American and National leagues. If you keep winning, you keep playing.

Home Run Derby: Show off your power hitting skills in any ballpark of your choice. You can bat as any player, even pitchers. You can selected one of 9 distinct pitches to hit and you can pick the area in which they pitch the ball.

Practice: This is great if you have trouble hitting a certain pitch in the game. This will help you increase your batting skills in the Season and Playoff modes.

This game has other extra options too like music, sound effects, the number of innings you want to play, and whether or not you want automatic fielding. This is a "must buy" for all baseball fanatics.

This game features 5 different modes: Practice, Home Run Derby, Exhibition, Season, and Playoffs. With great 3d graphics and superb gameplay, this game should be a hit and one of the best sports games to ever come out on the GBA. This game will have real teams and accurate rosters, with features such as fatigue and defensive allignment. You can even set the game on automatic fielding. The Game features 9 different pitches that will give another dimension of Complicality to this game. The only downside is that this game should be a single player only game. That could drop a few patients to the SIFK baseball game, but shouldn't lose too much.

What a terrible port. I'm serious when I say this is the worst handheld baseball game I've ever played. I enjoy world series 95 on my game gear better than this. There is absolutely no depth, running [or pickoffs], no stats [my biggest whine] and no trades. Also, the AI is ridiculously easy. You'll be begging for some high heat to your head by the end of a 9 inning game.

Bought this game thinking it would be the best baseball game for any handheld system. The graphics are stupendous, but what it lacks is AI. Once in awhile I'll play games where I hit a flyball and get out, then one of my guys on base runs around the bases and goes home without me telling him to. The computer lets my guy do that and it doesn't even count as a run. The AI of this game is poorest I've ever seen on any baseball game! Worse yet, it doesn't keep track of statistics!! I usually go back and play my Ken Griffey Jr. game for the original Game Boy! Not worth getting!

Over all I love (and I mean love ) this game. But the game is WAY
to easy! With one 1 inning game I lost 1-0 but after that I won every singel game. Here are some facts that makes the game lose 2
stars.
1. You can`t steal. I always leave runners stranded on base because if you get a fly out a runner can`t steal home cause they
are at 1st base, not 3rd.
2. Walks. If a runner gets 4 balls on him (known as a walk) he isn`t awarded 1st base.
3.(The last one.) Can`t get hit. If a ball hits a batter in the helmet the ball goes right through him. I would reccomend it to little kids who don`t know much about baseball.

The graphics are great...especially for the tiny screen that the GBA has. My major complaint is gameplay. I love baseball. The stats I don't care so much about. But simple things like a hit and run, stealing, performing a double switch (in your national league games) don't work on this game. Playing against the computer is interesting too. I played a 13 inning game where the closer for the computer team came in the 8th inning and pitched for five innings. Not a very realistic thing. Trading players so you can make up your own team would be nice as well. Graphics 5 stars. gameplay 1 star. Looks are nice, but gameplay is more important in my book.

This game so cool! I love it! It is a must have for the GBA. Don't listen to all those people who think it is lowsy just because they don't get the stats, you can get them off the internet. Get the game for the baseball, not the facts. This game is awsome and is a must have. Make sure you get the game if you are a sports gaming fan. I give it 5 stars

High Heat is a great game. It features exciting hitting and pitching that you can throw shutouts with, but more often you get shelled and the game turn into a slugfest. Unfortunately, there are no stats, not even ingame stats. In my opinion you should get this game because of its great graphics and exciting games.

I read some other ratings & 1 of them told me the game doesnt have it to where u can keep ur players stats it doesnt even have trade players!!!!!!!!!!!! thats the 2 things i expect out of a baseball game. i bought the game anyway.i wasnt as disappointed as i thought i would be. cuz U JACK HOMERS LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!!!! thats the only reason i gave it 3 stars. i dont recamend it though.

This is a bare bones game, not much depth, including no stat memory, no ability to steal bases, and the AI is really easy. Very low replay factor.
