The 3DO Company has signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with U.S.
Major League Baseball's 1999 Man of the Year, Sammy Sosa of the Chicago
Cubs. Sosa will help in the development and marketing of 3DO's baseball
franchise, SAMMY SOSA HIGH HEAT BASEBALL. In the February 2000 issue of
COMPUTER GAMING WORLD MAGAZINE, SAMMY SOSA HIGH HEAT 2000 was named "Best
Sports Game Of The Year" and PC GAMER MAGAZINE even went as far as to call
it "The Best Baseball Game Ever." "I agree with the gaming magazines that
say 3DO's High Heat Baseball is the best," said Sosa. "The baseball video
game I endorse has to play and look like the real thing. High Heat Baseball
captures Major League Baseball perfectly." This year's version features
improved graphics including star player face-mapping and new animations, a
TV-style presentation Action Camera Mode, Batting Practice Mode and new
training difficulty levels. SAMMY SOSA HIGH HEAT BASEBALL 2001 will be
available Spring 2000 for the PC and PlayStation. Sammy Sosa was the first
player in MLB history to hit 60 homeruns in two consecutive seasons. 3DO's
other game franchises include ARMY MEN, BATTLETANX, HEROES OF MIGHT AND
MAGIC, MIGHT AND MAGIC and MERIDIAN 59.
