    Re: WSB/ASB- better franchise mode?

    I think ASB limits you to 30 years this time around...

    ASB has tons of "real life" MLB rules, like the amatuer draft, 40-man rosters, the rule V draft, arbitration, options, etc. The one thing that WSB trumps ASB on is coaches and their impact on player development, although ASB has budget items that you can devote money towards to help the development of your players. Heelfan said it best. They're probably the two deepest franchise modes ever in a console baseball game, and you won't go wrong with either...

        Agreed. I like ASB's franchise more, but I ended up with WSB, because ASB doesn't have sliders.

            ASB doesn't need sliders, everything is perfect. Stats are right on.

                I couldn't get the stats to be realistic for me while I was playing it, even though they were not too far off. I hate messing with sliders, but I realize the need for them too.

                        If ASB has sliders next year, it will be my top baseball game, no doubt!

                            I, honestly, haven't played ASB and it's franchise mode to officially compare, but I WILL tell you why i'm loving WSB's franchise mode...

                            Minor leagues, the fact that players have loyalty ratings and may or may not want traded... I like how teams actually trade "per need" and not just make deals "for the hell of it".. I like the coaches, I like the way team projected incomes are a factor, I like how teams won't take a big name player off of you due to it "not being in it's financial scheme"...

                            I don't know which of these features ASB shares with WSB, but these are why I chose and love WSB.

                                asb definately has a problem with comp. trading, i once saw the yankees trade giambi for lance berkman and giambi sat on the bench in houston behind bagwell.
