Re: Will there be an ASB 2006?

I'ts not MVP's graphics that get me.... It's the flawed gameplay.... They have got to keep things like the Lefty glitch out.

I can live with ASB's vaccum, because the hitting and pitching are so good....

If MVP could get ASB's stadium graphic's, and get their hitting issues fixed for the consoles... I wouldn't miss ASB. As it stands, I'll be playing ASB for a while.

The article says that Acclaim "...has let all its employees go, and shut its doors for good..."


Is this true? Will the Baseball Game Wars be down to ESPN and MVP?

All Star is a garbage game so it's not a surprise the company is out of business. This is a good lesson for devolpers, when you don't fix glaring errors over a period of like ten years, people won't buy your games. I would normaly say it hurts the consumer but in this case, good riddins.

Hey man thanks for the message. I guess this is what years of bad business decissions and crooked management will get you. They still have not paid us for the last 2 weeks of work. I will stay in the business. I have a few interviews lined up. Some with baseball and others with different sports games. I will keep you posted.

this is a direct reply from the head developer Ryan fuller to me on a different board...i had just pmmed him and told him that he would be missed and hoped him the best... im going to keep in touch with him.. he is a really great guy... and im hoping that he gets on with either ea or who ever will run espn to really get those games on track and vastly improve them...

...I think MVP is already 'on track'. They did pretty good for themselves this year. If they could make the console version as good as the PC version they'll have a huge winner next year.

That may be a bit strong, but I do agree with some of what you say. The series had some problems that were immediately noticable, and never seemed to be corrected.

None the less, I was able to look past much of this because of the things the game did right. I'll really miss the stadiums. MVP and WSB have nice looking parks, but in ASB they feel real. Working scoreboards, imitation ads and good commentary gave a nice baseball feel. Not to mention all the retro, future and fantasy parks.
