    Re: So what seems to be the current leader?

    Here's what I'm thinkin'

    1. WSB- No doubt about it. I played this game a little bit last year and thought it was just OK. But I told myself if they fix a couple of things and add Behind-Pitcher cam, I'd be all over it. From what I've seen so far this year, I am totally impressed! ESPN, new animations, more depth in franchise, AI customization (ex. more errors, more walks, etc), warm-up bullpen... I could go on. This is definately the game I'll be getting.

    2.ASB- This game has a ton of new features and is shaping up to be a great game. The depth in franchise alone is unreal. This would be my #1 choice, but I owned last years version and I have to get something different. Don't get me wrong, I think this was the best of the baseball games last year (xbox) and I really enjoyed it but from the movies that I've seen, it just feels too much like last years. I know they've improved most of the things that bothered me last year, but WSB is calling my name.

    But this will be a great baseball game, you cant go wrong with this choice. Here are some more details:


    3. High Heat- I'm a true fan of baseball and I want the most realistic game out there. Yeah, I'm very particular about this. I've never played this game before, but from what I hear this game rocks as a baseball simulation!!! Plus they have some improved graphics to go along with some great gameplay... but the graphics are still a step below some of the other games. This might be the best "baseball" game out there, but I'm looking for the total package.

    4. MVP- This game looks very gooooood. And I bet it will be a GREAT game... next year. First year titles scare me a little, but who knows, EA may be able to hit a homerun on this one. Most of the movies I've seen, I am very impressed with. And the overall design looks great too. When I first saw the movies I had this as #2 on my list, but in the last couple of weeks I moved it down. Like I said before, I'm very particular about my baseball games, and I'm gonna give this one another year of seasoning before I consider it.

    Anyway, thats how I see it right now. I know there are a couple more games out there, but this is already hard enough to choose one of these 4. This will be a great year for baseball games, I dont think you can go wrong with any of these choices!!!

        1. WSB - sliders, graphics
        2. MVP - innovative pitching and simming, graphics
        3. HH - sliders, gameplay
        4. ASB - franchise, graphics

            Re: So what seems to be the current leader?

            my order still super close is:
            1. ASB- great franchise, good graphics, soo many amazing extra features
            2. WSB-my choice last year, good franchise not as good as ASB's, ESPN license, gameplay couldve been better last year and they say they fixed a lot of bugs but im still not 100% sold the gameplay will be top-notch
            3. HH- realism, terrible graphics, the more I hear about it the more I start to like it
            4. MVP- losing my popularity and now seems to be a longshot, 1st time effort, it takes a super good game to make me buy EA Sports (the only EA sports game I have is NCAA FBall 2003)
            5. Inside Pitch- theres no info so how am I supposed to get pumped
            6. Slugfest- not my type

            This is coming from a hardcore baseball fan. I live and breath baseball.

                Re: So what seems to be the current leader?

                Love baseball. For what it's worth, here's my preseason picks:

                --ASB (still the King)
                --WSB (making tremendous strides.... kind've like the Phillies in the East)
                -- MVP (replays sure look sweet, but it's still a first year effort)
                -- HH (I'm betting this is the last year for this proud franchise)
                -- MLB (haven't seen enough to comment)

                    1.ASB-Has a lot to offer but the gameplay still looks a little sketchy
                    2.WSB-This game has the best graphics in the ball market
                    This should be a good race b/w these two. I would like to see who would come out on top.
                    3.MVP-This game is a first year game so I'm a little sceptical if this will be a good game. In a couple of years this could be a contender.
                    4.HH-I don't know about this game it has had a couple of bad reviews in the past.

                        Consider HH was on PS2 and WSB was on XBOX MANY MANY MANY more people have played and are hooked on HH.

                        I'd say (By what sites/Magazines)
                        1. High Heat
                        2. WSB
                        3. ASB
                        4. MVP

                        (people)
                        1. WSB
                        2. Hig Heat
                        3. ASB

                                Ugh. I know it is an argument I can't win, but I wish people would stop saying HH looks terrible this year (visually).

                                Numerous websites have mentioned that stadia are near WSB quality and that the new transition animations are sweet. If you've seen the video from Gamespot (which was only about a 50% complete game copy, still using much of the 2003 game engine), you would realize HH no longer looks so deathly.

                                Then again, as a HH fan, the jump in quality may be slightly over estimated. It still looks much better than 989's efforts, however.
