MVP Baseball vs. the rest

oasisboston · Post by **oasisboston** » Tue Apr 15, 2003 5:57 pm

I have only played MVP Baseball 2003, and I really like it. My only gripe is the choppy fielding and inablility to control diving or to jump over the fence for homers.
 
 I haven´t personally played ASB or HH, but from what others tell me, they both suck.
 
 I was wondering if anyone had played World Series Baseball 2k3? One website gave it an amazing review. Why doesn´t this website have a review for it? Let me hear your views on the new baseball games and world series if you played it.

I had MVP for a few days. I tired to like it, but the fielding was so slow, and the baserunning was even slower. High Heat can´t be beat! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon21.gif">

I actually really like ASB. From what I´ve read about all the baseball games, it doesn´t sound like any of them suck to me!
 
 Give them a rental, like PK is doing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I haven´t played WSB yet because Sega hasn´t come up with a review copy and I haven´t been able to find it in any of my local Blockbusters. I will rent it if I see it, but I´m not going to plunk down $45 just to try it out.
 
 I´m not sure who said that HH "sucks", but I would take that opinion with a grain of salt. It is certainly not perfect, but it is a very fun baseball game. Or, as pk500 would say, it´s not so much fun as it is realistic. If you like realism above all other things then you would enjoy HH2004.
 
 ASB, on the other hand, is all flash and no substance. I can see how some people like it, but I just couldn´t get into it. I really really tried to like it. The batting interface was just too hard for me to cope with.
 
 MVP has a lot of potential and hopefully next year they will smooth it out enough to knock High Heat off its horse. I really liked a lot of things about it and think that it can be the best with a little push.
 
 I am anxious to try out WSB too. Right now I am in the middle of a move from California to North Carolina. Hopefully I will be able to try it after I get settled in.

"Right now I am in the middle of a move from California to North Carolina."
 
 Wow, THAT is a move, all right. Not one of those moves where you pack everything up and realize that you still have a bunch of unpacked junk in the house and make about 10 trips with the car!
 
 Where in NC are you moving? I lived in the Raleigh-Durham area for about 10 years and my father and sister lived over near the beach.
 
 As for bb games, I ended up buying WSB based on user reviews. I had to go with the PS2 version, which is not as good, but it is still a lot of fun. I also play High Heat 2004 on the PC. I like them both. Both could stand some improvements, but maybe next year.... But the two of them will keep me busy until the football games come out this summer.

JasonC,
 
 "ASB has all flash an no substance"
 
 Wow, I would say exactly the opposite... there´s more "baseball" in ASB than in any other baseball title I´ve ever played. Oh well, to each his own. Good luck with your move. NC is a beautiful place!
