I agree with most of those statements about ESPN. I maintain the batting interface is still heads and shoulders above any, if not for it's execution, then at least for the concept.
Personally I like the sound but do not love the sound. I believe ASB delivers better announcing... and and announcing that won't annoy you after you play a few games -- and that's a big plus. Everyone knows announcing will get old, but after 50 games, whichever game makes you less want to slam your head into a wall usually wins. That being said, you can turn it off, but that takes away from some of the atmospher IMO.
Regardless, ESPN is probably the most polished, well-rounded game IMO, but I think the others certainly have there great value. For satisfaction, everybody will look at something different, that's for sure. For me, the worst game was MVP. I hate it. Thought it played like an arcadey pile of crap. Thought it look poor, sounded poor, had an absolute annoying pitching interface (it gets old to have to hit the meter every time), and the hitting interface was aweful.... regardless, there are MANY MANY people who believe this game to be the best overall, and certainly the most fun to play.
It's hard for me to argue with those that ESPN is king, because I love the to play it. I also love ASB for the subtle things and how it makes me feel more like it's baseball season.
I don't know, I'll keep both perhaps... divide my time until a clear winner emerges.
