Previews:
First look at All Star Baseball 2004. (IGN PS2)
"The introduction of online play for both PS2 and Xbox owners represents a first for Acclaim. All of the online gameplay will be head to head between two consoles but there are plans to make plenty of content available for download. At this point, players will definitely be able to download roster updates and statistics, but there are discussions of integrating content from This Week in Baseball and real-time weather conditions into your franchise. Awards and features like "Who's Hot/Who's Not" are already in the game in franchise mode, but there's potential for players to have real life standings, TWIB news and awards downloaded into their franchise. "
First Impressions of ASB 2004. (IGN PS2)
"As for gameplay, currently it's a lot like last year. The biggest change comes in the interface. You still hit the same buttons to swing, bunt, steal, and field, but the batting cursor has been visually altered. It's still the same triangle shape as before, just with a different outline. Bunting is more unique, though. Instead of aiming the cursor when you go to bunt, a large arrow points on the ground. Aim your bunt in the desired direction and hope for the best."
Another First Look from IGN Xbox.
All Star Baseball 2004 Details from GameSpot.
Preview from PSX Extreme.
"In terms of graphics and gameplay, the game does exhibit many of its previous features. There isn't too large of an overhaul, with basic functions being the same and visuals shown in similar fashion. There are more noticeable shadowing techniques, but that is about it for graphics. As you'd expect, the button layout has stayed the same; however, there are a different variety of cursors during fielding and batting that allow for more variation. Player animations are roughly identical, with a few tweaks here and there that aren't too noticeable. Sadly, it appears Acclaim has spent the most time on presentation, which although it is well received, I would've liked to seen a few more gameplay alterations to improve upon last year."
