Gotta few easy questions

[bh446066]

Does this game have the following options?.....

1) one swing button, and timing only (no cursor/zone/power swing/contact swing). One button, timing only

2) create a player

3) Automatic fielding and baserunning option

4) behind the pitcher view for pitching and behind batter view for batting

Thanks a bunch

Yes to all. Except base running I think they have assisted not sure if it's auto.

Well yes and no on your first question. "Yes", there is a "Timing" hitting mode, but pretty much everyone has said it is way too easy, even on the most difficult settings. So "No", it may not really be playable.

I believe that the developers designed this game with the thought that people would play with the 3D cursor and fielder cam. Other modes and views have significant gameplay issues.

My issues are really more related to fielding from the classic cam (actually I use the 2004 cam, but they are close enough). Perhaps these exist with fielder cam as well, but they may not be as noticable? Here are a few:

1. I have enough time to get to a ball, but not enough to "lock on" for the catch. The ball lands next to my fielder and rolls to the wall.
2. Bases are empty. A ball is hit between my SS and 3B, I want to use my SS, but the CPU chooses the 3B as the man I control. I can't switch to the SS because the game is forcing him to cover 3rd even though the bases are empty. The ball rolls two inches by the SS enroute to left field.
3. CPU hits a dribbler in front of the plate. My catcher won't move for a couple seconds and the batter reaches easily.
4. CPU bunts to the 3B side of the mound with a runner on second. I don't use a future throw, because I don't know until I have the ball that I can nail the runner at third. I press the throw to third and my pitcher causually pauses and lobs the ball to third well after the runner who was 45 feet away when my pitcher picked up the ball.

So my gripes are more with fielding than the camera. I am assuming they don't occur with the fielder cam or aren't as noticable, because they surely would have been tightened up in testing?

These things don't happen alot. But they seem to happen at the worst times and are extremely frustrating.

Despite the batting and fielding frustrations, I think that ASB does have alot to offer, and I am enjoying it. I just think it would be alot better if the developers spent more time with the classic camera and noticed some of these issues.
