BaseballGuru, some ASB 2003 info please!...

[Redfield]

I know your a big advocate of this game so I have some questions.
1-Which of the 3 versions is the best?
2-Can you save a roster file for exhibition games or a season?(I like accurate rosters)
3-Can you turn things on/off like the stike zone, pitch cursor, etc.?
4-Do you get realistic results?(Hits, Homeruns, Strikes, Balls, Walks, etc.)
5-Does it support analog control?(I hate the D-pad)
6-Can you play through a game pretty quick(20-25 minutes?)
7-Do teams have a minor league roster?
8-Are the menus and interface easy to navigate?
If you could take the time to anwser these it would be appreciated.

ASB currently is the best, most realistic baseball game on the market.

If I had to choose a backup it would be High Heat for the PS2 only

World Series felt too much like a more advanced Triple Play...not very realistic or deep

I thought ALLSTAR Baseball was a very good game but just to many homeruns for my taste they need to work on the cursor system just couldn't move the cursor fast enough last years gamecube version had the batting and pitching interface down right wasn't to homerun happy

1. Xbox (faster load times, slightly better graphics)
2. I don't think you can save a roster for exhibitions, and you can't edit the rosters of other teams in season
3. You can turn off the pitch icon, the batting icon (easy batting), the zone indicators, etc... just hit start during gameplay
4. I get very realistic results playing on All Star level with the indicators all turned off
5. Yes, the entire game, with the exception of baserunning, is done through the analog
6. I can get through a game in about 25 minutes on fast mode... it varies, some games go as long as 35 minutes for me
7. They all have a minor league roster in season/franchise/expansion modes... some are real players, some are generated. Wilson Betemit is on the Braves minor league roster.
8. I like the menus. I can find what I'm looking for pretty easily. I'm a fan of the way they are layed out in a list, unlike Sega games where you have to aim the dot at the other dot and it isn't always exact.

Hope that helps.
