    WSB2K3 on Xbox vs WSB2K2 on Dreamcast

    Two years ago, I had WSB2K2 for the Dreamcast. Last year I got ASB after picking up my XBOX. While I was very impressed with ASB’s graphics and details, I found the pace of play to be way too slow, and the pitching way too fast. Hitting for me was just a guessing game. While it produced realistic results, it was pretty boring.

    I dusted off the old DC last night and popped in WSB2k2. I couldn’t believe how fun it was. I actually had time to see pitches, and when I struck out, it was because I bit on one that I knew I shouldn’t have…..much better than striking out because of bad guessing (ASB).

    For anyone who had the DC, how close is this years Sega’s baseball offering with the DC game? I know the graphics are improved and there are sliders and a behind the pitcher view. But is the feel of the game similar? Is the game pace similar? (anything is an improvement over the paint-drying pace of ASB).

    A few other questions:
    What are the choices for length of season ? (I’ll never make 162 games)
    Can you play less than 9 inning games in season mode?
    Do you get a good variety of scores (some HR fests & some pitcher’s duels) ? Or do the games all seem to be one or the other?

    Thanks.

    Yes i have a DC and wsb2k1 and 2k2 and i also have a xbox with wsb2k3 and yes it plays similar to DC wsb2k2 except alot better and alot better graphics sound options franchise better smoother animations real replays. But it does seem like it has the same basic engine ans wsb 2k2 so i would buy it. It is the best baseball game out for any system if you likes wsb 2k2 or the series you will love wsb2k3.

            WSB 2k1 and espcially WSB 2k2 are abysmal.

            WSB 2k3 is the greatest baseball game ever made.

            But yeah, they're close.

                IMO 2k2 was the worst of the bunch. As I remember it, you had to have lightning fast reflexes to field a ball and the scores were way too high. The high scoring games were all too common and this made the game longer. All of those problems were fixed for last years game. I don't think that this game is even close to 2k3. It might be fun to play for nostalgia purposes though.

                        2K3 for the Xbox is hands down better than 2K2 for the DC

                            I still think 2k1 on DC was the bet of the lot. By far.
