They are, its in a box holding up a desk somewhere.

I was surprised they never did anything with it.

Me to. When I read the news that they had bought the HH code I was stoked thinking that they woud put out a killer game. But they did not even try.

I think I skipped 2003, I loved 2002 though. Spreadsheet style stats and 'drag/drop' rosters...MMMMMM.

2004 sucked though, since it was simply a port of the console version and everything had to be done with the joystick, no mounse support

I was also a bit surprised by M$'s decision to not do anything with the code...I guess they just decided to bury it? Too late now, unless they wanted to make a 360 exclusive, besides that HH code is probably quite 'dated' by now anyways.

Oh no...the dreaded mounse support.

I hated 2004. That's when HH lost it's appeal.
It probably had the most to do with losing manage only mode

Ha, I was curious to see if anyone would pick up on that. Leave it to Knight...you don't miss much do you, especially for an old guy

That's exactly where HH lost it's appeal. The spreadsheet style, drag and drop stuff in 2002 was awesome.

Haha I'm pretty sure I could make the same argument about Aaron Rodgers fans being football enthusiasts...

I really don't understand all the high praise for the mvp series. But I guess we all have our own opinions and that's what makes a horse race. Now here is mine. I played mvp for alot of years, but I never liked the feel of the game at all, it didn't play true, (IMO) I will go further and say that just about all of EA's sport titles are lacking, up to and including Madden which is their over hyped cash cow. But I digress. . . .
