    Just bought WSB after playing ASB and...

    I am not a fanboy of Acclaim. However I have recently made the mistake of purchasing two baseball games, knowing full well that I would only really play one regularly, and the other would get sent back in a trade in. I first bought ASB and was completely in love. I put everything on hold when WSB came out, and I must say, after 2 days playing it... I am going back to ASB. True WSB may have better graphics in the field, and prettier look to it. However, the batting engine is no where near as good as ASB. It is like you have a stick in your hands. The field is too small, and the ball bounces like your playing on concrete. IT is a GREAT game, dont get me wrong, it is just that ASB captures the game better. As long as you take the time to learn to hit in ASB, and can deal with the minor vacuum effect (happens rarely) there is not much you can do to top it. Anyway, WSB, going back. ASB, back to my franchise with Prior and the Cubbies!!!

    i'm with ya homie. i can't get used to the horrible 'timed batting' in WSB (no cursor for me, sorry). and it really does feel like you're swinging a little stick. the game is beautiful, but just doesn't capture baseball like ASB does IMO.

                I've got both, and I think ASB is better, but give WSB a break guys . . . it's been out for a couple days. Give it some time and see if you can tweak it how you like.

                        I think it's a little better if you use the cursor, if you don't mind using the cursor. Same with ASB. I'm sold on ASB's 3D cursor system.

                            I find it funny when you say WSB 2k3 has the worst batting interface when everyone pretty much thinks it has the best batting interface and MVP has the best pitching interface. ASB 2004 has the worst batting interface in any game. It's horrible and needs to get it's arcadish @$$ out of the game. Anyone that thinks ASB 2004 is a very good game is just nuts or doesn't really care a lot about the game they have. It just blows my mind some (well very few) people even think this game is good at all. It's not even in the same league as WSB 2k3, HH 2004, or MVP (even in it's first year). People wake up!
