If anyone plays ASB 05 post comments, questions, or what-nots in here!

ASB is great simply for its Home Run Derby mode. I would re-buy it just for that.

I haven't gotten the game in the mail yet, so I haven't been able to mess around with any of this.

It has been a while, guys. For ASB'04, there was a bug where sometimes during a trade a player would disappear. A work around for this is to release someone from your minor league system, then send one of your MLB guys down into that slot. This leaves you with an empty MLB slot before you make the trade, and no (good) players will go missing.

Anyone ever figure out how to update all the teams, not just one team?

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Popped this into the Xbox the other night.

I wish roster control was better or else maybe we'd have some updated rosters for this timeless classic. Anyways, the expansion mode is still my favourite in any video game. The Vancouver Glaciers live again!

I'd be in baseball heaven if the Show ever included a mode like this.

Sure you could have added the flair of having the gamer set ticket prices, build their own stadium, buy his team a jet plane, or whatever but you guys did it the way it should be done. If your buddy has pull in the gaming world, ask him to tell his employer, whomever it may be (Sony), to take the off-season modes of ASB 05 and implement them into a new baseball title. I am talking about the following: *Rule 5 draft *Salary Arbitration *Option years for players (how players have three option years in which they can be called up or sent down to the minors. After the three years they must clear waivers) *Waivers *Teams moving into new stadiums *the Futures game *Home run derby *Long term deals *team records *League Records *score updates at the bottom during franchise mode *working bullpens *working scoreboards *ball collision detection on homeruns These things are the realism and the reason why I continue and will continue to play ASB 05. Too bad you guys couldn't keep making the game, because its by far, at least in this humble mans opinion, the most realistic, the best playing, and the most well rounded baseball title ever, and I do mean, ever made.

ASB 05 was ahead of it's time...

sadly the series stopped when it was at it's good point.

Yep, I tried it. Knight even gave me an old XBOX. Absolutely impossible. Handedness CAN'T be changed, lineups can't be adjusted. I started and got a ways into it and became absolutely frustrated with it. It was a really good game and playing the XBOX version on the 360 gave it a facelift.

I recall that being the case...it really is too bad. The relocation of the Expos would make the updated rosters feel funny anyways.

Nonetheless, the default rosters bring back some nostalgia as well.
