    Re: Questions for ASB Man

    I got a couple of questions for ASB Man, thanks in advance on taking the time out of your schedule to answer these.

    1) Being the stat junkie I am, I was very upset on some of the stat glitches. Namely how occasinaly the game only gave credit to the pitchers for 8 2/3 of work, when I pitched 9 innings. One time it gave me 9 1/3 of work. No like. Also, as someone mentioned, you don't have stats like batters and pitchers facing righties and lefties AVG, even though you used to have these in the old 2000 and 2001 versions on N64. Oh, and the game should not continue keeping track of season stats in the playoffs of franchise mode! Has all this been fixed, and have more stats to look at been added? I do like the all time franchise leader stats, that's a great idea, hope that is still there. Oh, maybe add like a section saying who the World Series champ has been every year, and update every year in franchise mode at the end of the season

    2) I say this will love... THE AI is terrible! Most perdictable pitching in the world. On "All-Star" difficulty, I still have a .390 AVG, lead in most batting categories, and rarely strikeout except when I face pitchers like Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez. From reading this, it seems zone hitting is harder, and that will be the default, but I also have read that it isn't that much harder. Will the AI be smarter, know how to get us humans out more, and make it more challenging? I'd prefer challenging in a sense of 3-2 scores rather than just improving thier hitting so all the games are 20-18, because I prefer pitching over hitting.

    3) As someone else said, will managers be there? Can you hire/fire them like in Madden? I'd like to see a lot of the junk they have in Madden, to some degree. Making money, advertising, free agency competition in the offseason, etc. You know what I mean, you've heard it a thousand times. Maybe not all they ahve, but if nothing else more minor league development, but from what I've read that has been improved, and I thank you for that.

    Thanks again, and sure hope to see lots of stats, less stat glitches, and better AI. I usually never buy a sports game 2 years in a row, but after reading all this, I am defenitely considering it this time.

            ASB_man, I was looking at the screens gamespot posted (12/11) and one picture showed the behind-the-pitcher camera. But, the camera was angled from the left of the pitcher. We all know that on TV, the camera is angled from the right of the pitcher. Is this how its gonna be, or can we change it, or what?

                  Re: Questions for ASB Man

                  will there be player collisions in the outfield between two players and the player against the outfield wall?

                  will there be a specific button to collide with the catcher?

                  Thanks

                        In All Star Baseball 2002 and 2003 (not sure about 2004), Sometimes when you tried to leap and rob homers, your guy did some weird thing where they stood against the wall, turned around and just fell over... I think that was supposed to be a collision thingy.

                        Not sure about the other stuff though.

                              I asked this a week ago and I'm sorry if I missed the answer but, will we have an option to toggle on/off the catcher throwback or the "life-saver" pich location thingy?



                              On another note, I wish you guys could implement a pressure sensitive trigger batting like the old WSB2K. It would also be cool if the further you sqeeze the trigger, the smaller the icon would become. Also how about eliminating the border of the icon and either making it a bat-shaped discolored area or even better, a bat-shaped distorted area. You could call it "Total Focus Batting" or something, because the distorted area woud represent the spot the batter is "focusing" on. Just an idea.

                              BTW, Thanks so much for talking to us. You guys are by far the best dev team in the business!
