    manage watch game unfold

    i am a manage only player as well some of you guys and have not bought a baseball game since the tony larussa game for the sega genesis because thats the only one i have heard of that could manage a team thru a season. not only could you manage but watch each at bat and pitch. i dont like taking a average player and leading the majors in every stat category. thats like in ncaa 2004 i just call the plays and let the players ratings have an impact on the result of the play. i was excited when i heard that mvp was gonna have a manager only mode but then i found out you dont actually get to watch the game. could someone explain that to me. it sounds as if allstar baseball does have this and if they do how realistic is it? some response from you guys is greatly appreciated.

    Hey BigOrange;
    There are quite a few of "us" who play manage only. I was a High Heat player until last year when they took this mode out(as well as other reasons)...and switched to ASB2004. I'm glad I did...!!
    ASB is the deepest of all the baseball games as far as franchise and manage only. You will love the '05 version...because I loved '04 and it looks like TEAM ASB has made the new verison even better.
    MVP has a "manage only" mode...but you can't call each pitch..and you are watching a little baseball diamond with dots representing the players like when you "watch" a MLB internet broadcast. I'm gonna guess there is text to go along with the dots...not my cup of tea.
    I consider ASB to be like OOTP baseball...but with graphics!! Deep franchise...very good AI and now some sweet graphics to go along with it. Wait until the first time you play the Cubs and you see the ivy at Wrigley..the animated bullpens...the working scoreboards...all the little things make a GREAT baseball game.

          are you sure you can"t watch the game?....i thought you could see the game unfold as you made your choices in mvp baseball. From what i've read it's possible.

                I think MVP manage only is a "gamecast" setup where you just see the dots, etc... Although somebody more in the know may prove me wrong.

                Manage only mode in ASB is a lot of fun, you get pitch by pitch control and have all the options you would expect to see in-game (power/contact/bunt, steal bases, pinch hit, manage bullpens, etc...) on top of that the off the field franchise management is really deep and involving. They even have an option to create an expansion franchise team where you draft from a pool of unprotected players, just as you would starting a real franchise team.

                There were some issues with last year's version of the MO mode having very low offensive results and there was a very low SB% for human and CPU. We are hopeful that the focus on improved gameplay will translate into some better results in that aspect of things.

                I play the text based PC sims (OOTP, Diamond Mind..), but there it is really nice to be able to watch things play out graphically instead of just reading what happened.

                      It sounds to me that asb 05 is the game to get, i really hope that asb has a good manage only mode and you can see the game play out it graphically. i really enjoy calling the the shots during games and letting the ratings of the players have an impact on the results versus a thumb-pumping below average hitter leading the majors in o base perc. just because i have mastered the thumb bashing technique. i aprreciate your input and any other info on this manage only mode you guys can give me is great! thanx

                            MVP= a bunch of dots
                            ASB= best for manage only mode, just like Larussa but you have more options and feel like you have more control over the team.
