I don't think either system is perfect, but I tend to prefer ASB's a little more. The angle thing, I usually angle it before my swing, so it doesn't bother me too much. And in real baseball, they'll swing up, or down, depending on whether they're trying to hit a fly ball or a ground ball to move a runner over, etc...

Of course you angle the cursor before the pitch. Everyone does. It would be impossible to try and hit a pitch if you didn't.
Not to be mean, but did you ever play real baseball? You said that hitters angle their swing in real life according to what they want to hit, well you are dead wrong. Maybe it is possible in T ball, but even that is almost pushing it. For a Major League hitter, or anyone playing serious baseball, their swing is all about consistency. They have honed and perfected it over the years so that it is the same each and every time. A good swing is pretty much stays level throughout the hitting zone, with a very slight downward angle. Hitters are taught to hit line drives, not to swing upward from their shoe laces like they are trying to hit Manute Bol in the face.
Hitters are taught to try and hit the ball back in the direction it came from, not to adjust their angle and hit wherever they want to. They do that with their footwork and by timing the pitch properly, not by angling their bat by moving their arms and elbow into some crazy position to hit to a specific location.

First off, I never said they 'angle' their swings. I said they'll tend to have a slight upwards swing, or downwards, depending on what the situation calls for (i.e hitting a fly ball to get a guy home from 3rd, hitting a ground ball to move a runner, etc). Again, I know that no baseball game will truly simulate the real thing, but to me, ASB comes the closest. If you prefer WSB or HH, more power to you. I myself will be picking up both as well, but I prefer ASB's gameplay to them all.

). Horrible batting system. Not hard to explain. You basically dont even use the cursor, because the time to move your cursor is so minimal its amazing. If it wouldnt be for that, the game would be a lot better. Also fielding, it seems like they are playing in there sleep, they take there time, its like they dont care. I still like ASB, but its #3 on my list of the 4 baseball games. Oh and also. I have played ASB and am used to it, so you cant use that exscuse "Was the 'horrible batting' due to you not being able to learn to use the cursor?"
