I picked up WSB 2K3 the other day, and I am enjoying the game play a whole lot more than the ASB I played last year. But while many are awed by WSB’s details, I think that they have a ways to go to catch ASB in this department.
Advertisements – Where is the Citgo sigh beyond the Green Monster? And where is the big Yellow Kodak sign on the left field wall in Yankee Stadium? I understand the legal limitations, but why don’t they just do what ASB does at use a phony name with the same colors and fonts.
Scoreboards-I don’t know why, but this must be a difficult thing to program as none of the baseball games other than ASB seem to have dynamic scoreboards. No one seems to complain about this in the many reviews that I have read, so I must be in the minority, but it bugs me to see a ball hit off the Green Monster that says the score is 3-3 in the 5th, when it is the top of the first in the game that I am playing. To me, dynamic scoreboards in any sports game really help bring the stadium to life. While I may be whiny about scoreboards, I don’t care about Mo Vaughn’s body frame which is a topic that seems to come up in every other review. I guess we all have our own gripes.
I understand and agree that game play is more important than aesthetics, but I also enjoy the details that are put into the current generation of sports games. I won’t be putting WSB away in favor of ASB, but I think WSB2K4 can improve in the details department.
