<t> The transition was gong to be difficult however it was handled and I can see both sides of the arguement. I was wth the first releases of the game and have been all the way through and Shaun certainly deserves reward for all his efforts now and in to the future. As a by the way I also have paid ...

MOSTLY historical but like to run my own&nbsp;Universal Baseball League&nbsp;at times.

56........... Red Sox ..................been with Puresim since first version.............. and a Brit from the UK [:)]

Still play occasionally but play a LOT of sports sims anyway and time has greatly reduced for gaming the last 4 months - hoping to see more free time soon and get back to it.

I would vote YES

<t> For what its worth, running XP on my laptop, have upgraded to v1.65 Beta, it asked me to upgrade the association which I did, and have played a game, autoplayed a game, autosimmed a day, and autosimmed a week and all is fine.... closed the game down, went back in and reloaded and have again ...

Me too - and to be honest I didnt like the format or style for use as a "forum" or "newsgroup"

I will add my voice to the subscription basis - seems fairer to Shaun as he develops things over the course of the year and also better for users to be able to keep up to date.

Great work Shaun - good to see your taking it easier now on programming [:)][:)]

TBear - think you and I might be the only ones who run at 1440 x 900 as I dont see it ...

Have voted for replay mode but usually throw in one or two fictional leages as well alongside, but main interest is in the raplays.

John

My vote would go on improving the historical replays as Shaun says - and to AI manager improvements as mentioned in this thread, and expanding the PBP too

John

Sounds superb............cant wait to see it !!

So ...next step is to add animated players, a true voice commentator and could be better than the real thing [:)][:)][:)] ???

John

My vote is get what you have done to a state that you are happy to release as Beta ( purchase) and go for it - as always you will be adding and updating over the summer so by the end of the summer it will be an (almost) different game anyway
