About the Game:
The High Heat Major League Baseball game has been a favorite of critics for years due to its uncanny re-creation of America's National Pastime. According to PC Gamer Magazine, in naming last year's version of High Heat best sports game, "High Heat 2002 is the best simulation of any sport, and utterly deserving of this award. We're not sure how the 2003 version could improve on HH2002, but we can't wait to find out." Computer Gaming World offered similar praise recently, calling High Heat "the best simulation of our national pastime on any platform."
High Heat 2003 is endorsed by Arizona Diamondbacks ace, Curt Schilling. Schilling led the World Champion Diamondbacks with 22 wins and was named co-MVP of the 2001 World Series. Curt Schilling became a champion in the fight against ALS in 1992 when he created "Curt's Pitch for ALS." Through the "Curt's Pitch" program, Schilling donates $1,000 for each win and $100 for every strikeout. Since the program's inception, Schilling has personally contributed $177,400 and Curt's Pitch has raised over $1 million for ALS research and patient care. Schilling was awarded this year's Roberto Clemente Award given annually to the player who combines outstanding skills on the baseball field with dedicated work in the community. A portion of the proceeds from sales of each High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 game will be donated to "Curt's Pitch for ALS."
