High Heat Major League Baseball 2004, also known as High Heat Baseball 2004 or High Heat 2004, is a video game released in 2003, and is the sixth and final game in the High Heat Major League Baseball video game series published by The 3DO Company, before it filed for bankruptcy in May 2003.[4] The game was released on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Windows. Versions of the game were also intended to launch on Nintendo's Game Boy Advance and GameCube consoles but were scrapped following 3DO's 2003 bankruptcy.[5] Then-Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Curt Schilling is featured on the cover.

Gameplay

Gameplay in High heat relies on timing your hits and throws. When playing as a batter, it mostly comes down to figuring out what kind of pitch your opponent is going to throw and tapping the button at the right moment. Playing as a pitcher is done the same way with the option of a total of 27 different throws as well as a strike and ball button[6]
