I owned WSBB,MVP,HH and ASBB this year.
The first to go was HH. Just could not get past the graphics and/or batting animations. But the main killer for me in HH was the non ability to save mere than one season,roster,settings etc,, file at a time. No excuse for this(or the graphics). In any case it was very fun at all.
Next to go was WSBB. Yes it has some of the best visuals but fell short of actually feeling like I was playing a good game of baseball. Some things that need taken care of next year are the fast swings, player scaling and a zone type of hitting or a system like MVP. To me the pitcher/batter interface was the weakest part of the game, and being a crucial part of a game of baseball it hurt the game a good bit.
So rthat leaves MVP and ASBB.
Flat out MVP is hands down the winner for 2 player games, IMO. It is a blast to play with a friend.
So now we have ASBB. After buying the game to hold me over until the rest were released I returned it. Well obviously I re-purchased it. The game does have it's own faults: Graphics could use some life, vacuum gloves still are ther but not nearly as bad as last year and there are some gameplay glitches. Example: I had bases loaded with 2 outs and my next batter popped up to third baseman. The 3rd baseman dropped the ball and 2 runs scored...Nope it was rules a foul ball even thiough it hit about 5 feet fair and never rolled foul. In fact in never rolled at all.
However with these problems ASBB (after getting the hitting down) plays a very good game of ball. I actually feel like I accomplished something when I get a hit etc...
I am currently in spring training with 2 games left before the start of season. I created myself as a pitcher and will only play the games I pitch. So far I have been beaten up slightly in spring training. Pitching with no cursor is an art... I did learn that it's better to work a corner and walk someone rather than to just throw a strike to avoid a walk. I gave up some serious long balls..
Hopefully the season will work out for me and I won't have to demote myself
Anyways I just wanted to say that I have taken my time playing all the games and found the one game that truly gives me tha baseball experience, along with the feeling that I have control over the outcome. ASBB
