    Please stop.

    Typing the phrase "best game hands down!" repeatedly isn't really making your point. Kinda makes you sound like a Sega fanboy.

    If you want to be taken seriously,how about you provide 5 things that you think ASB is missing and we go from there, HMMMMM?

      There is no doubt ASB has the deepest Franchise (At least between ASB and WSB) I had bought both but ended up returning WSB. I liked WSB but did not find it as realistic as ASB. Frnachise does not even compare, ASB wins hands down, as people have said, Waivers, Arbitration, Expansion, Future Stadium, Rule 4 and Rule 5 draft, Complete prospect report and Prospect book, and much more. It is not even a contest.

              NOPE SORRY WSB2k3 has best franchise ASB2004 rips off last years wsb which this years wsb2k3 is even better.

              The number of game modes is nice and hefty. The franchise mode is stuffed with features and a handy ASB Rulebook that acts as a clearinghouse of baseball info you may need as you navigate your team through multiple major league seasons. Like we saw in last year's World Series Baseball you can change the market conditions your version of Major League Baseball will operate under, play with or without a trade deadline, injuries and trades

                  All-Star Baseball has always had a problem with collision detection and giving gamers that generally solid feel for how baseball is played. Moving your fielders into position you'll alternately make plays on hit balls that you don't think you should have made along with missing balls that you thought would be simple. All of this because the game engine seems to be designed in such a way that the players aren't really on the same baseball field as the ball. Like they're in parallel planes of existence that aren't quite in synch and so the interaction between players and baseballs is just slightly off. This is probably why we never saw Morpheus and Neo playing baseball in The Matrix. Throw in some genuine A.I. shortcomings such as the one where you'll automatically be given control of an outfielder as a fly ball is coming down, yet another CPU controlled player ends up making the play because he's the one you should've been controlling in the first place. The whole thing, the part where you're playing baseball, just ends up feeling messy

                      The game improved the feature set from ASB 03, but that's it. The baseball engine isn't strong enough for Acclaim Austin to get away with a few extremely cool cosmetic upgrades wrapped around the same subpar baseball game. We were dazzled in 1998 by the N64 game but we're baffled today by the limited evolution of the gameplay.
                      Gameplay
                      If a player batted .600 he'd be a legend. Unfortunately six out of 10 here means somebody's just not trying to make this baseball fun.
                      World Series Baseball 2K3 is the best console baseball game I've ever played. If you love baseball, there is no other choice. Buy WSB 2K3 and if you have some extra cash, think about one of the other ballgames as a backup -- something to play once in a while for giggles. But set yourself aside a serious amount of time, because WSB 2K3 will take over your life for a good long while
                      The Franchise Mode is easily the best around. I honestly can't stop playing this game. Certainly the best single-player experience for your buck.

                          Your talkin' out your *** Pal, and your wastin' eveyone's time!
                          You obviously have not played ASB or You would know without a doubt that ASB Reigns as King when it comes to Franchises!!! By the way whata ya doin' in this ASB Posts anyway? Isn't there any Action goin' on at the WSB posts?
                          I'm sure you can find some action on those little " T Ball " fields! You know the ones.... where all the surfaces play like concrete, where the ball bounces 40 to 50 ft in the air!
