Seriously, what game are these people playing? I can see HH being rated higher (not for any particular reason, but I think it comes close to matching ASB in gameplay).
But, for instance, IGN has MVP and WSB rated higher. WSB has a 9.1. 9.1? Are you kidding me? For what, the good graphics? It's a good game, but it ain't that much better than ASB, I can tell you that for sure.
I wonder what the preferences are for people who have played or watched baseball extensively, as opposed to those that are just ESPN Sportscenter highlight watchers. I played and coached, and have watched and read about baseball extensively (I highly suggest Pure Baseball: Pitch by Pitch for the Advanced Fan, by Keith Hernandez), and ASB replicates better than any other game.
It's not perfect--I think the batter/pitcher interface could use some work, but I was able to find ways to make it very realistic, by turning off all of the aids.
I just don't understand it. Any thoughts?
