1. Too many nubbers in front of the pitcher that end up being base hits.
2. I couldn't get to some balls with my fielder that were laying still on the grass.
3. I didn't find too many walks.
My only other major gripe is that rosters cannot be updated for exhibition play manually and I don't have Live. This is a huge mistake, considering the community for other games that make updated rosters for AR. It increases the playability of a game. Baseball fans hate stale rosters and Acclaim forces you to get Live. A huge problem if you don't have broadband. How much does it cost for Live per month anyhow? I don't care for Franchise, which this game seems to be designed for. I only play on the field in Exhbition mode because I don't like to be only one team for an entire season.
Finally, one last question: I noticed that the pitcher's pitches have a colored box that changes throughout the game. I'm assuming this indicates how effective each pitch is. Can someone tell me if this is right and what the different colors mean? Also, do they change from game to game for a pitcher?
This game looks really good with the BTP cam and the stadiums. Unfortunately, like HH's demise, I worry that games that don't appeal to the masses will eventually die. That means we may lose the realistic sim approach that I love so much. Still can't decide which I like better, ASB or MVP, but after much MVP and the meters (which I do like a lot) ASB was refreshing because it felt so real.
I'd like to know: Presentation aside, do you find the games you are playing on ASB to be realistic (or more realistic than MVP)? (Variety of hits, stats, seeing new surprises, etc.)
