Yep, I am out numbered. Cook like High Heat and the rest like WSB.

'Sokay. PLaying ASB is a badge of honor. Most guys LOVED it at first, couldn't get the hang of it, cursed, flung their controllers at the TV and gave up, all the while WANTING to like it. Too bad.
Acclaim REALLY needs to add a pitch speed slider. Then there would be no comp.

yep, a pitch speed slider and no one would be complaining. I haven't found anything about the game that I don't like.

You are incorrect in your assessment sir.

I like high heat, never played an all star baseball game
and have also never played WSB.

And i dont want to purchse 2 baseball games. Since i dont like the idea of cursor batting, i dont know whether i would enjoy all star baseball or not

Re: Franchise Mode-WSB or ASB.. Which one is the Deepest?

Try it bro! you just might li..well.. be able to tolerate it!

Theorhetical gripes about icon pros/cons aside, The testical tightening tension of having men in position and absolutely KNOWING the big curve is coming will always be exponentially increased by the degree of difficulty it takes to hit it. There is no other way to explain this. When I get a meaningful hit on WSB I say "yeah, good hit, I needed that." no big deal. But when you get a meaningful hit on ASB, man it evokes REAL emotion. Before you get the hang of All-Star, you can feel the frustration in the pit of your stomach. It makes you snap at your girl. It makes you swear at the TV, swear at the controller, swear at the pitcher. Just gets you pissed off. Deep down. Nearly everyone who ever picked up an ASB has felt this. AWWWWWW but the bliss of smashing a hanging curve( I HATE that[censord]Uncle charlie, that SOB is the bane of my very existence )when the game is on the line to me cannot be duplicated by any of these games.

Of course ASB could be better, all the titles could. But no other title this year can come close, not anywhere NEAR the emotional investment ASB brings to the ballpark. Gotta' love it.

Re: Franchise Mode-WSB or ASB.. Which one is the Deepest?

The question was which Franchise mode is deeper not what has the better gameplay. ASB has a deeper Franchise mode no questions asked all someone would have to do is rent both games and play them through a season to find out. WSB has a very good Franchise mode but ASB is deeper. Very Simple.

yeah really...how can you start off that one game is much deeper in franchise than the other, and yet go off about everything BUT franchise. and yet he said nothing about ASB's franchise. but hey, iut's water under the bridge now. yeah Heel, i'll might just rent ASB and see what it's about.

Re: Franchise Mode-WSB or ASB.. Which one is the Deepest?

i seemed to have risen alot of emotion in so shot of time, BUT it looks like we might hae a convert in

maybe he'll rent it and give us a honest open minded view when he can really to a proper comparison, as for HBBFAN - he's hopeless

, to the moderator Heelfan71, since you have palyed both games (right) and it seems you lean toward ASB on this question, did ASB put more of whats really important to have a great Franchise mode or did WSB approach do it better. and why. thanks
