    Played all 4 rated all 4!

    i have played all 4 games here are my rankings in each cat.

    Graphics-(all 4 games have diff. versions of reds ballpark, which one is right?) lol
    1.WSB (if you have HDTV WOW!)
    2.ASB(doesnt support widescreen)
    3.MVP (doesnt support widescreen)
    4.HH04 (getting better, but still way behind the rest)

    Gameplay-
    1.HH04 (everything is so smooth and feels right)
    2.WSB (Same as above)
    3.MVP (throwing meter should be in all the games)
    4.ASB (not great to say the least)(doesnt feel right)
    Batting
    1.MVP(the directional batting works perfect!)
    2.WSB(as good as cursor batting will get)
    3.HH04 (ok but you dont get the feel that have complete control)
    4.ASB (pitch speeds to high, swing reaction to slow)
    Franchise-there all very good)
    1.WSB-(its all here)
    2.ASB-(same)
    3.HH04( same as where used to from 3do PC)
    4.MVP (its not bad just a little thin compared to the rest, the franchise goals, manger momentum, and rivals are very cool!
    Fun Factor-
    1.MVP-this game is a bit arcadish but its a blast!)
    2.WSB-
    3.HH04-
    4.ASB-i just feel releived after the game is over thats not right,its more fun messing with the franchise and bonus stuff then actually playing the games.)

    Presentation-
    1.WSB-ESPN license puts it over the top!, also the K zone is awesome!)
    2.MVP- (everything is easy to read and i the only game the has a ticker which all sports games should have, and the baserunners windows are a nice touch.
    3.ASB- ( I love the oldtime feel you get when moving threw the menus)
    4.HH04 ( needs lots of work here!)
    Bonus stuff-
    1. ASB-( so much stuff i dont think ive seen it all yet, Im loving the scenerio mode!
    2.MVP-The homerun showdown might be the best game mode addition in a sports game ever!
    3.WSB-all the retro and alternate Uniforms are great plus you can chose when and which ones you and the cpu where!the only game with Big League Challenge!)
    HH04- nothing much other then Roster downloads
    my pick so far for the best game
    1. WSB-The Best Lokking and playing game.
    2. MVP-The most enjoyable to play.
    3. HH04- you gotta love the Authenticity this game brings.
    4. ASB04- the bonus feathers saved this game from being just a roster and stadium update.


    closing comments:
    all 4 games are well done but too me this is between MVP and WSB. I think having them both is a good idea the play and feel diff. to keep it fresh.! Good Job Sega and EA Sports!

    Re: Played all 4 rated all 4!

    Good post. Well broken down. High Heat was good this year, but they got killed because the competion brought out so much more to the table.

    Having played WSB and ASB, HH looks very shallow in comparison to me.

    Bottom line is I think each and every game has something to keep the baseball nut happy (even with owning all 4) and all 4 have will have faithful followings due to their strong points.

    In the end I think we may see WSB on top of the sales charts >IF< PS2 can pick up enough sales, otherwise MVP may be the sales winner of the bunch.

    The Gamestop I went to today had 10 copies of WSB on their shelf and had 25 copies of MVP. They sold 5 of them while only 1 WSB went while i was there.

    MVP Still has the EA name behind it.

    Sadly Slugfest prolly will win because of all the non sports gamers jumping on it for its total arcade gameplay and ease of pick up and play against other with no major morale's to being realistic in the end.

                WSB is the best this year!!! to me
                most sim, best graphics,variety of hits,errors etc
                Only thing WSB needs ESPN announcers or Joe Buck and more crowd chants,atmosphere--rip own music into game for xbox.

                    I think EA revolutionized some things though
                    --pitcher interface and throwing meters
                    --important match-ups in franchise
                    --ticker at bottom

                        wait a minute...

                        a couple days ago you rated all based on movies and screenshots, now you've played all 4 well enough to review them?
