I am in the same boat. I bought MVP and WSB the day they came out. I realy liked WSB at first and then grew to hate it. I certainly feel that ASB plays more like real baseball.
MVP has a nice pitcher / batter interface, good atmosphere, and intelligent runnning AI, but has many other warts. I might keep it for casual play but WSB is going back.Comment

Re: Anyon who LOVES ASB, how do u feel about WSB??
I really like both games this year, but I'm digging WSB more for 1 reasons:
The pitcher batter interface is better. When pitching, I like the variable option that does'nt gaurantee that you'll hit your exact location. Causing you to throw balls and the pich counts are more realistic. I felt on ASB, when a pitcher tires, he effectivness drops, but not by a big margin like in WSB. You still can paint corners deep into the game with ASB. Plus I had to make a concience efford to throw balls.
The batting side is better in WSB also, b/c the cursor is user friendly. And this is the only cursor I appreciate ever in my history of playing baseball games. In ASB, the cursor was nice but you could'nt chase a pitch with it because the speed of the pitches was to fast. So if the CPU threw something high and away, you really could'nt catch it.
The other thing with the batting is on WSB, is the only game IMO this year to have realistic batting. Swing early and hit the ball foul to your batting side, swing late and hit tto the opposite side. Also if you get the cursor below the ball, its almost gaurenteed to be a pop up. Over the ball for a ground ball. So this makes hitting more realistic than ASB in which the ball does'nt even make contact with the bat 7-10 times.
I dont like the fact, that you can pick your spot before you swing on ASB, and on classic, I had way to many homers, and on zone, the ball would'nt go to any other spot in the field besides center.
I agree with the rest of you guys in that ASB feels more like baseball than WSB. But I dont really like the pitcher/batter interface in ASB. I also like the graphics more in ASB. In WSB they look almost cartoonish IMO. And you cant beat the face mapping in ASB, the bullpen, the stadiums, the stat overlays during the game, the collision detection on homers, and the smal things like pitchers running or walking from the bullpen, broken bats about 3-5 time a game, the rain and snow, and the real time scoreboards(defetnitly love that).
But I'm keeping both for ASB has so many features, teams, and stdiums that it would be obsurd to sell back.

Re: Anyon who LOVES ASB, how do u feel about WSB??
i am leaning towards ASB as well. as soo as i got the batting down, i love the game. the animation can be off sometimes but the gameplay makes up for it. HH is also very good. the best batter/pitcher interface of all the games.
WSB is a complete joke. boring, grfx are clean but not accurate (please see Mo Vaugh), the batter/pitcher interface and animations are a joke!! Bonds does not wiggle the bat and he pulled a hr off a Clemens outside (low) fast ball twice in one game!!? you cant't control you hits and the pitches thrown to the caughter don't feel as though the even leave the pitchers hand.
MVP is a very good game, but the fact that even a poor batter can battle RJohnson down to 3-2 count everytime is weak. batters RARELY swing outside the strike-zone. it's ok to work the count but 95% of a 3-2 will result in a walk if you pitch to the outside of the strike zone. meaning you'll have to chance a pitch thrown in the strike zone.
ASB was knockout around pretty bad after the reviewer claim not much changed from the previous year. well neither was WSB. HH as well. MVP has the biggest improvment, and deserves praise for it. but ASB is a solid effort from acclaim...
I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment

Re: Anyon who LOVES ASB, how do u feel about WSB??
I rented ASB for five days and thought it was really bad! I had it on N642001 and that game blew it away. It's too bad and I thought it did have some cool features. I bought WSB 2K3 and it literally blows ASB away in all aspects. Namely, the gameplay is superior in WSB and the graphics are way better. I have played ball my whole life and WSB gives the best simulation with the nicest look. I can't put the thing away, I'm now addicted to it.Comment

Re: Anyon who LOVES ASB, how do u feel about WSB??
I purchased ASB this year because of the manage only mode. That is the only way I play baseball games. I never was good at arcade mode. ASB is the only game with manage only mode this year. I was a High Heater before this year. I've gotten HH 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003, but this year 3DO didn't implement manage only mode. ASB has it so it go my money this year. I love the expansion mode. That was another factor. The challenge of building a franchise from scratch.Comment
