    I can already tell that MVP's gonna clean up at the cash register this year based solely on casual fans and buzz from critics/clerks who are looking for flashy simcade-type games (particularly one with the EA logo), not a sim.

    But I want the ASB developers to know how much the true hardcore baseball fans appreciate this incredible amount of work and detail. This game is like a love letter to baseball fans.

      Re: some props to the ASB team...

      Sounds like you guys are true baseball fans and know what you're talking about...

      I've never played ASB, but will definitely give this year's version a try.

      In your minds, what does ASB do better than the other games? Anything in particular? I'm assuming the AI is a lot smarter than the others (ie. hitters work the count). Is that true?

      Thanks!

            Thank you, boys.
            You all have been a big help in the development cycle. The team's been working crazy hours since halloween and a lot of the team really does stop in to OS and reads the comments/suggestions regularly.

            Looking forward to playing you guys online in about...4.5 weeks.

                  Player models, distinctive stances/animations/deliveries, and stadiums are the best in the business. And there's crazy-deep details like the ivy at Wrigley slowly growing in as the season goes on. Some of the stuff you wouldn't even see until you played a few weeks of franchise.

                  There's an attention to detail in this series like no other baseball game. That's why we say they seem like real baseball fans.

                        Sounds good.....I heard the franchise mode is a bit shallow though. JK.

                        Sounds like a game that you could play a good 50 seasons with.

                              Yes ASB is the most authentic around. I really enjoy this game and I really appreciate the time and hard work that these developers put into it. This is a game catered more for the dye in the wool baseball fan while MVP as someone said is a simcade type of game. (tho their dynasty mode looks to be the best of the bunch if it isn't buggy)
