Re: ASB has THEE BEST HR animations...BY FAR!
I believe that all games (not sure about MLB 2005) will have collision detection this year.
Reasonings for all games with their own cool collision detection things:
1) All Star Baseball 2005 - The cutscene stays for a while... lets you see the whole bouncing of the ball during the whole homerun.
2) MVP Baseball 2004 - Great replays of homeruns (no cutscenes, so lots of drama on the homeruns).
3) MLB SlugFest Loaded - If you hit the scoreboard, it explodes like the lights on "The Natural".
4) ESPN Major League Baseball - Not sure how good the collision detection is yet, but what's cool is that if you hit a homerun in a specific spot, the announcers will talk about it.
For instance, in a video, some Mariners dude hits it on the left-field stairs in Oakland, and here's what the announcers had to say:
Rex Hudler: Well the left fielder gives chase, but this thing winds up on the stairs out there.
John Miller: Yeah, it makes it over the retired jerseys of Rollie Fingers on the left, #34, Catfish Hunter, #27 (or something) on the right, two of the real greats who have EVER played here in Oakland.
Rex Hudler: Well, the REASON they were great is because neither one of THEM made pitches like THAT.
It's AWESOME! Hopefully this will work for things like over the Green Monster, an upper deck, splash hits at SBC, and hopefully they announce it during Big League Challenge and stuff also... that would be ALL TIME!
Every game has its pluses in collision detection, but I like how early ASB got it on their games (2002).
