    ESPN or ASB... how do I decide... help me please!!!

    I own them both. But I can't split time between them... I just can't. that being said, how do I decide? Surely this is an ASB board, so no doubt your votes will be ASB, ASB, ASB... but it's very hard.

    ESPN is MUCH superior graphically (Widescreen and 720p for those of us that has it makes it extraordinary), it has far better roster management, and it's less buggy all around. That being said, ASB just keeps me wanting to play it. I like the behind the pitcher cam better, it feels slightly more like real baseball, and just seems to capture the game a touch better. maybe that doesn't make sense, but something brings me back to wanting to play ASB. but then if I start playing ASB, ESPN gets jealous and I pop it in and looks so nice and does play great as well.

    Can you guys help me out? I know I'm the only one that can answer which game wins, but man... it's very hard and I'm struggling. I really want that roster update to come out for ASB, because then I'll have to finally make the decision... but it won't be easy....

    No offense, but how is someone supposed to answer the question of which game YOU like more?

          Just play what you want. How would you expect to hear non-bias comments in a ASB forum?

          ASB > ESPN
          Coming is my style, but I have to go.

                Just wondering what you guys look at in games... why do you play ASB over others, etc? How much is gameplay worth? Do graphics drive your gaming experience? Maybe it was a dumb post... but sometimes you gotta look for help when your stuck, one way or another.

                      For what it's worth...I would keep both games. If I play too many games of either in a row...It gets a little stale. However, if I was forced to choose just one...I would have to go with ASB. The "atmosphere" is just ...BASEBALL to me, like no other game feels. Yeah...there are some wierd things in the game...but with the manage only mode, the absolute best commentary and all the GM options(plus, I have not even got to EXPANSION mode yet this year) I find myself playing more ASB than any other game. Just my two cents.

                      By the way, I have every team except L.A. and San Diego totally edited(all players at every level are real). It is a royal pain in the arse and L.A. is giving me so many problems. There is no way to edit Shawn Green to play first base or create him and get him to bat fourth or even fifth. At this rate I will just finish up the last to teams and release the roster with just the NL complete. Sorry, but if any fan of an AL team wants to complete it...you have my O.K.
                      NOTE TO ACCLAIM....PLEASE...next year make your editor more complete. We need the ability to edit lineups and ALL attributes,positions and handedness. There is no reason why this is not possible.
                      AND...I just found out that edited players whose names have been changed don't get announced..only created players
