Re: My NLG Review is up.
Ok, enough on that, let me answer questions.
To all asking about easy batting, try the zone. It's more like High Heat, while timing is more like MVP (except you can't direct where you hit the ball). Zone is different than 2D cursor mainly because there is no cursor in zone, it's not analog at all.
zx81 - If you've pitched in one game you've pitched in ASB. Point and click. I mentioned the AI being tough, it will walk you, but in the higher difficulties it won't be without a fight. And after all this time I still swing at junk.
Jrod - Analog swinging is a total afterthought. Come to think of it, I don't believe I even saw it in the manual!
Badgun - You want zone batting. Cursorless batting and just the A button (unless of course you want to bunt)
Pared - What pressure do I have to praise or trash ASB? It leads me to that age old question if IGN doesn't like a game for a particular reason, or sees fit to trash something, why do I automatically have to dislike the same things? I actually haven't even read their review yet. The game got a high rating from me because even though I now have two other baseball games on my shelf, the one I am playing my expansion franchise through is ASB, not MVP or MLB. All three of these games are great, and ASB to me is the best of the bunch. I have maintained that opinion for about 4 months now.
