Re: If anyone plays ASB 05 post comments, questions, or what-nots in here!
1) I am strictly a manage mode player. I have found that by setting pitch speed to slow and the hitting to 3D Zone, the results are more realistic. With it on the manage mode default settings there were way to many strikeouts and too few HR's. I am just curious as to why this is, and does it really matter what batting setting you choose?
-I've got to say, manage-only was never the focus of the team. We knew a lot of people on the boards requested it, so it was tacked on at the end of the project. Actually, I believe our designer Wes Mailman's dad like this idea too, which also influenced this mode getting it into the game. As far as I know, the hitting settings in this mode would not have made a bit of difference.
note: Although Wes's name and cyber scan head were used for the fake Barry Bonds in the game, he has never knowingly used steroids.
2) When pitching in manage mode, I am unable to call for the C to try and throw a pickoff to a base. The CPU is able to, but I can't get it to work. Is this broken, or am I missing something?
-I think this was overlooked since so little testing time was spent in manage-only. If anyone would have pointed it out in the forums we'd have fixed it though; we really did pay attention to requests.
3) When my pitcher is pitching, I notice that his pitches are either coded red, yellow, or green. I have noticed when they come in to a game, they are either green or yellow and quickly go to red once he pitches. What do these colors mean?
-green=strong, yellow= average, red=weak
My ex-ASB designer friend and I are working on a baseball title or two for PSP, PS2, x-box which should be announced during E3 next month. We also worked on the 'playTV baseball' operationsports reviewed recently, it got an 8 out of 10. We plan on playing ASB tomorrow night and have agreed to sim a Braves franchise until they make it to the world series. I will play as the other team, no matter who it is, best of 7. In the Polo Grounds, of course.
