    Re: Ok, I\'ve given up on MVP

    Well MVP is amazing to me. I can't put it down. Giambi has 13 homers for me in 39 games(played all of them since Friday-I am on vacation) so the lefty bug is not there for me.

    I have never played ASB but will be picking up an Xbox and the game tomorrow. I have heard great things about this game. I hope its as good as advertised.

    But to say I don't like MVP would be lying. I LOVE it. I am no fanboy. I play all types of games. Last year, I loved WSB. This year, I'll get ESPN and ASB. It's all good.

      Hyped or not, I may end up keeping that game, but some of the other stuff that's bothered me is beginning to look worse. The home run distribution and player progression are just some to name. What I noticed in ASB 04 was that players developed slower than 03, which I thought was realistic.

            Well as infamous as I am with ASB, I just purchased it tonight at the 29.99 price so I feel pretty good going into tomorrow.

            If all they did from last year was fix some of the minor bugs, make the game play quicker and worked on the other modes of batting I think this has a good chance of taking over my baseball time.

            And if it gets baseball basic down, like walks, steals, hit and runs, proper baserunning, this really could be a good game. Last year some of these areas played like this year's games so I have hope an extra year of work could pay off.

            What excites me is the new batting mode. I haven't heard how the pitching mode has improved other than pitchers aren't as accurate so it might suffer there. But as long as it doens't take too long to fire off a pitch it won't be too bad. There's nothing worse than having to wait to press one button.

            Also Steve Lyons and Thom Brenneman are my favorite real life announcers so that's a bonus.

            Before I get ahead of myself, by buying ASB at the $30 price, even if it doesn't appeal to my tastes this year at the very least it won't feel like I got mugged at the register.
