There are so many pros and cons for these games

Re: There are so many pros and cons for these games

Yeah, I totally wrote off HH2002, and after buying and playing TP and ASB, I rented HH2002 and found the right game. Lesson: I spent $100 when I could have spent $5 on a rental! I have to at least buy and try each game for my own sake and preferences, and to see if they have changed much from year to year! Keep it a week, and sell it on Ebay for $45 shipped, works every year and keeps my wife from blistering my arse!

Exactly. It is kind of an arse backwards way of doing it, but for all of us here that soil ourselves the day a game comes out, it is really hard to wait. I have less patience when it comes to baseball games than with any others, too.

I have forced myself to tone it down just a bit after 2001, when my expectations came crashing down repeatedly with (in order) Triple Play, ASB, and WSB2K2 (dreamcast). High Heat was my savior that year, I tell ya.

WSB really has a No-Cursor option... does it work like High Heat's?

If it is then in that case, I am getting WSB 100%

No, it is not like High Heat. I believe it is just timing, like ASB's "easy batting". ASB will have the zone hitting option like HH though.

Re: There are so many pros and cons for these games

Being able to turn off the cursor makes WSB and ASB more appealing to me, but does anyone know how that affects pitching? In High Heat, particularly with pitchers who aren't all that accurate, I actually end up walking people. Are you able to pinpoint where your pitches go in WSB and ASB (and MVP) or is there some element of accuracy, and if so is it enough of an element to result in a human player actually giving up walks?

Re: There are so many pros and cons for these games

Cardinalfreak, both of those games were damn near impossible to give up walks on. Alledgedly that has been fixed on both titles this year, but we'll see, I hope it is b/c I'm buying WSB regardless. That is another thing that made HH so real last year, you could actually walk someone, the AI bunted a lot to get runners in scoring position, the AI hit and run and took extra bases when possible.

I didn't play HH last year so I didn't know that about the pitching. That's really cool. Does the computer swing at pitches that are out of the strike zone?

Yes, the AI is pretty good about taking balls though!
