    WSB2k4 - EASIEST WAY TO MAKE IT BETTER THAN LAST YEAR

    WSB2k3 Kicks major ***...I saw where people were posting thier wish for next years version. I have found the best and simplest way to make next years the ULTIMATE baseball game ever.... How many of you play Out Of The Park Baseball on your PC? It's the best baseball game you will ever play that doesnt require a controller. If Sega could take EVERYTHING Out Of The Park Baseball 5 has done and incorporated that into what they have allready done with WSB2k3 you people would have no lives. You would play this game no matter what. If youre married, she'd be divorcing you. If you have kids, Child Protective Services would take them from you from neglect. If you were overweight, you would slim down because you wouldnt have time to eat....and and you would quickly become unemployed because you would would use up all your sick days to stay home to play it. For those of you who have WSB2k3 but never have played Out Of The Park 5 for PC let me tell you what it has...

    First of all its not a game you play with a controller. You play the role of Manager, GM, etc etc. The game gets so deep that you actually have A, AA, and AAA teams that actually play seasons while you are handling the major league team. You have to worry about ticket prices, fan loyalty, your income from your network broadcast contracts. ..and you mightbe asking me WHY would i care about how much money my team is bringing in?? Well because just like REAL baseball, you pay your players out of your own pocket withthe money you make off the team. So if you are a good business man and know how to make money and profit off your team, there is that much more money next year for you to give those big A-Rodesue contracts to those free agents you want to go after in the off season...and speaking of money, I want to see real dollar amounts in next years and not this point crap..if they can do real money in NFL2k3,they can do it in thier baseball game. How they do the news section and weekly awards is cool because it looks like a newspaper article and they actually write it like that. Just like some reporter is doing a sports section story and your player (if he did something great) is whats getting wrote about. It seems more realistic.

    Another cool thing it does that id like to see incorporated into next years WSB is each team's owner has thier own personality. Some owners want to win win win right away and as soon as you show signs of missing the post season, your job might be on the line.

    The cool thing about WSB is that it caters to the single player. What I think next years should do like Out Of The Park does this year is it makes the game about YOU as a manager. You take a job with a team with a contract and salary offer and you get new job offers as your manager career progresses. You also age as manager, and your coaching staff under you ages as well. Also...now this is really crazy but cool. In Out of the Park baseball, you as a manager can even get married, have kids, divorce your wife and if you have a child, he might grow up to be playing IN the league when he gets older. Also something that OOTPB5 does is when a player is about to make a career milestone or something great, they will interrupt your game, cut away to the game at hand where this player is. For example if Sosa is up to bat and has 499 career homeruns, they will cut away from your game to where the Cubs are playing and take you to his at bat..it doesnt mean hes going to get his 500th or not at that at bat but it give more of a TV broadcast type feel...but of course you can turn this option on or off.

    I would give an arm and a leg if the next WSB could incorporate all the little things that Out Of the Park is doing this year...combine those two games and High Heat will look like a Cold Starter, All Star Baseball will ride the bench, and MVP baseball wont even make it out of the farm system.

    I really appreciate all that you said about OOTP5, but I can't help but wonder if you are somehow affilated with that product.

        I do not know much about OOTP5, but does it actually show the games being played? I was under the assumption by what you said (they cut away to another game) that they actually show the games being played, from everything I have seen on the game I thought it was all text based

            No im not at all. Im a web designer with a company in Texas. Im just a big fan of Out of the Park baseball for all the little things it has. Im not pushing the product. If WSB could incorperate alot of the things OOTP baseball does I wouldnt play both anymore. And if you have played both you will realize you cant compare the two. They are like Apples and Oranges. OOTP Baseball is like Baseball Mogul and Season Ticket Baseball...its all TEXT DRIVEN, so how could you compare the two? I just would like to see alot of what OOTP Baseball does on the managerial side of things brought into the next World Series Baseball. Now how in the hell does that make me someone who works for the compnay that makes OOTP? And for your information, I only bot OOTP to HOLD ME OVER UNTIL WSB2k3 HIT THE SHELVES.

                No it doesnt show the cut away...OTTPB is more text based even though you do make the calls in game as far as subsitutions, arguing calls, telling batters and runners what to do. OTTPB is text based with a graphical interface with text play by play....but the reason why I made this post about wanting to see things like OTTP does put into the next WSB is because i can picture in my head GRAPHICALLY it would be handled in WSB and i think it would be kick ***.

                    I have played ootp3, and ootp4....both very stellar games....and I've always had your thought on that too my friend.

                    I mean come on....for a TEXT GAME....it's pretty enjoyable....imagine if it had graphics??!?!

                    plus....we'd probably be able to run online franchises with the xbox if they combine the two....now imagine that...

                        Just an FYI we have a WISHLIST forum. Or I guess it could be moved to Pro Baseball as it really has little to do with WSB and seems like a lovefest of OOTP.
