Hi everyone,
I'm new to these forums (not new to viewing threads...that "not being able to view threads without logging in" doesn't work, by the way
), and I thought I would start posting with this quandary.
I've become a text-simmer. That is, I used to be a High Heat player, until the first HH2002 patch came out. When that took away the visit mound feature, and 3Doh told us to go screw ourselves as a result, I started to lose faith in the baseball world of gaming.
When HH2003 came out...you may know it as HH2002...I said screw HH, and I went to Out of the Park. I run my baseball league on it, and if you wish, you can check it out in my signature.
Now, OOTP5 is out, and I've been spoiled on the depth that text games give me, in terms of statistical abilities, as well as the ability to play out long-term (if you check out my league, you'll see that the league originated in 1901, and we're into the 2004 preseason). I have not found this to be the case in any baseball console game...
...until this year.
Each baseball game out there makes a strong case as a "buy me" game. Unfortunately, each title seems to be lacking something....whether it be big or small, something puts up a red flag for each game.
My question to you, the ASB forum, is this:
What game should I get? I've picked up ASB so many times before...but I hate Acclaim (it's two K's now?) so very much, as they generally put out some of the most unrealistic titles out there. However, with a Best Buy gift card, and Best Buy's inability to bring WSB into their store, I might get it.
I haven't written off HH, but have written off MVP with a bug I saw earlier (guy running around in circles on the bases...didn't like it to much).
Anyway, that's my situation as of now. Thank you for reading this ridiculously long-winded post, one in which I'm sure I lost you early on. Hopefully you can convince me that this game is worth getting over WSB with my gift card, or even the Family Guy DVD, which comes out in less than a month.
Peace
John
