Semi Verdict on ASB
Ok after spending more time with the game I think I can break it down by two basic themes:
-If you are a zone/timing batter then avoid ASB 2005 as if it were a swarm of rabid locust.
-If you like or have the patience to learn cursor based hitting then by all means pick it up.
Zone hitting is just flat out useless in ASB because it’s too easy and you never strikeout.
Cursor based hittng, well, I hate it, but I’m trying to adapt for the time being because ASB has so much going for it outside of the funky batting.
Keep in mind that I have not touched franchise mode yet…
It seems like this year is no different than most years when it comes to baseball games: by themselves they are all kinda ..”ok”. If you could combine them all into one game, then you’d have the ultimate arcade baseball game.
