<t> I never really became a fan of PureSim but I bought it and thought it was on the right track toward becoming a very good game. But the key is the right track. The track has ended and this game is somewhere in the middle of Utah on its way to New York with no track added. OOTP and BM whether or ...

i still say that advancement in the game is still too difficult. i have runners not taking 2 bases on hit and run singles. now i know that a 2 base advance on h&r singles is not automatic but it seems to happen far too often.

custom filters really help when looking for free agents. is it possible to add custom filters to the trade screen. when you are shopping a player it would be helpful to be able to only want to see e.g. 3b under 25 yrs old. this would seem to be a really helpful improvement.

<t> i think this is an area that really has to be addressed by shaun. $ should be an issue immediately in the game and the salary structure of the players should be as close to the majors (and minors) as possible. this is an extremely important area of a management sim and it really has to be ...

i have not played the game that much. i wonder tho does $ ever become an issue. it seems that at least for 2 seasons $ does not seem to come up as an issue. it seems that you can sign or resign just about anybody.

<t> it was taken to SI because SI is a company that puts out a great soccer game and is probably a good company. however markus being a european and not truly understanding baseball like those of us who grew up with it moved into an environment that took him further away from the american model. <br ...

<t> you know i think Markus listens to his audience as well and i don't think he is driven by the almighty buck. i think the problem with OOTP is that it has taken a tack towards trying to be a world universe game and there are many supporters of the game who want to go in that direction. there are ...

<t> ootp is, in my strong opinion, an unplayable game. the developers bit off way more than they could chew and created a game that will take a major effort between now and the 2007 edition to get back on track. just as ootp took a major step backwards puresim and baseball mogul took big steps ...

i am just getting back into puresim and i am trying to remember if the computer teams offer trades?

<t> consider this<br/>
<br/>
has any game ever had an AI that handled trades well. i play ps,bm and ootp and all have problems in that department. this is probably why i have gravitated towards online leagues. <br/>
<br/>
i hate to think this way but i think we are looking at about 5 years of ...

"don't turn this into World Cup Baseball".

this post should get the Pulitzer Prize for best post of 2006. Nukester this is absolutely brilliant. Shaun - you have been warned!!!!!

<t> it seems to me that with 2 out there is little point in using hit and run because the runner is moving on contact. but it still seems like it should be a rare occurrence that a runner would only advance 1 base on any hit to the outfield. <br/>
<br/>
i have played other games that will not ...

i have never played any baseball sim solo where trading with the computer is done well. that's why i really hope this game can get geared toward online league play where you can match wits with other players.

<t> when i said the answer was too make the game multiplayer friendly i meant that was A PARTIAL answer to the problem of a weak trading A1. the complete answer may be decades. it just doesn't seem like an easy problem to overcome so the short term answer may have to be multiplayer and/or house ...

<t> the trading A1 is pretty weak. i was offered soriano and got him for not very much and then was offered mark prior for a reliever.<br/>
<br/>
what's the answer? some games have trading A1's that are a little better but they all have weaknesses. the answer is to make this game multiplayer ...

<t> that is great news but while puresim has really made some strides in this edition a lot of people are just really disappointed with ootp. there will be a major patch tomorrow and if it does not go well prepare for a lot more traffic.<br/>
<br/>
i am and have been basically an ootp player but ...

<t> i have always complained about the mandatory count. in its latest edition ootp unfortunately did the same thing which they had never done but i have read that in their patch (tomorrow) that they will drop the mandatory rosters.<br/>
<br/>
i play in 5 ootp online leagues and the first thing i ...

<t> i agree the minors page really needs some work. i posted a system but never got a reply. i don't know if this is frowned upon but sometimes it seems a good idea to go to your rivals and look at their good ideas and "kindof" duplicate them. no not duplicate-let them influence your decisions. if ...

<t> i don't recall scouting being used in this game but i assume it was. one thing i can tell you is that the scouting system in ootp has run away with the game. please let's not get into anything like ootp has implemented in the most recent edition. player personality traits are great but i would ...

<t> i have a question on velocity. if a pitcher has ratings as follows<br/>
<br/>
stuff vel con<br/>
<br/>
10 2 10<br/>
<br/>
is this a pitcher who is losing his ability to be successful at the majors level due to low velocity. a player like greg maddux comes to mind. i doubt that his velocity ...
