    Re: After playing MVP........................

    I mean no attacks here

    but Personally, I'd have to say anyone who had any problems with ASB last year was out of their mind. IMHO the "problems"...if they could even be called that....were so minimal that they did not effect gameplay. It seems to me that a framerate issue would actually have a chance of taking you out of the game somewhat, whereas last year's "Vacuum Balls" and "Crouch" problem were so stupid that it didn't even matter, and you got used to it after a while. Hell, you could tell eash time with the whole "Vacuum effect" that it would have been caught anyways. What was the problem there? Oh no, my outfielder is Crouching....somebody stop the madness....

    It's true what someone said up there, for everyone different problems will affect them more than others. And everyone will look at people opposite of their view of problems and see them as Mental Patients in a Psych Ward to be upset at what they see as "such little things".

    MLBLover is just a really straightforward guy, or at least from what I've seen this is the case. I'm sure he doesn't mean any harm by what he says.

    I'd also like to say that I think there will be very few problems with ASB....fewer than have already been discovered for MVP. Heh....it just seems to me that since MVP threw together that Online thing for PS2 and PC at the last second (quite literally) it's only fitting that they only let you use the #1 starter. ASB had their Online feature the whole time. Their last minute features were basically touchups to stadiums (ala Fenway), and adding their custom music feature to the Bullpen. It's usually the last minute things that produce problems, and since they already had the huge core of the game already intact long before they let it go, I'm seriously not worried at all here. It's my opinion that ASB will turn more than a few heads this year, and that I'm going to be too busy playing it to notice or care.

      I would agree with this. I will say this about ASBm, when it comes to stadium graphics and overall visual appeal of the game, there is currently no baseball game that's even in the same league as ASB. I am curious to see what MLB looks like, because the vids make it tough to tell. But as good as WSB's stadiums looked last year, ASB's were still by far the best. imo of course.

      Depth of the franchise has never been disputed either. Their franchise mode was very deep and very thorough.

      Yeah I agree with this wholeheartedly. No doubt ASB is very deep and that's part of the reason I'm going to get the game. If you're big into managing a franchise then ASB is something that you can't miss. Gotta love the Rule 5 draft and waiver wire etc....

      Not to mention the stadiums are as accurate as can be. My only gripe in the past has been a very lackluster zone hitting approach IMO (I'm not a cursor guy). It sounds like this has been changed so I'm definately excited to see how it plays out.

            I posted something regarding this in the MVP thread (probably buried by now!) that maybe it had more to do with the older Xbox's or non-Samsung drives than it had to do with the game. Some people had Samsung drives and still had the framerate problem so I don't know. It's very odd...

                  I agree with just about your whole post but this part. For me the batter/pitcher interface was broken last year. Normal cursor was too easy, classic cursor provided very few ground balls, zone hitting provided 95% of all hits to the middle 1/3 of the field and yielded only the very rare foul balls. Not to mention that the CPU offense was rarely a threat.


                  Again these are just my observations, but I am hardly the only one to notice them. ASB was close to be a a great game, but ultimitely like all the other baseball games last year there were to many issues to keep my attention.

                        I hate it when people bash other games without even playing it just to justify their own purchase. Relax it's just videogames, it's not going to change your life.

                        I will be getting MVP soon and ASB on release date. I hope both games are excellent.

                              Dude, if you'd read the framerate thread, not everyone is having the framerate issues. I for one am not so I'm not SETTLING. Maybe it's because I have a 2 week old Xbox with a Samsung Drive. Maybe it's because I'm not playing on High Def. Maybe it's the Monster Svideo Cable I'm using. I don't know, but I can assure you that I'm not (as well as many others) seeing the issues with framerate that many others are seeing.

                              Gimics? All I'll say on that is "Mascots".

                              Anyhow, you can believe what you want to tell yourself to justify your purchase - even if it's not accurate. All I'll say is that you're missing out on a VERY good baseball game. That's your loss....

                              Yes, everyone is, they just odnt want to admit it. I was one of the ones saying there was NO framerate issues (Xbox 720p) but there are glaring problems. lol, one Xbox isnt going to have problems while the resat dont, give me a break already. YES, the game HAS FRAMERATE quirks that kill the game. Peroid. But, hey, im still playin it, till ABS releases anyway.

                                Yes, everyone is, they just odnt want to admit it. I was one of the ones saying there was NO framerate issues (Xbox 720p) but there are glaring problems. lol, one Xbox isnt going to have problems while the resat dont, give me a break already. YES, the game HAS FRAMERATE quirks that kill the game. Peroid. But, hey, im still playin it, till ABS releases anyway.
