<t> Thanks Shaun for correcting me. That would be a real plus for the immersion.<br/>

Yeah, EWB had a special ambiance and was WAY ahead of its time. It was a shame that EWBII was buggy and kept crashing for me.<br/>

Hey, you've done a fabulous job with your game. It has ...

I just downloaded the demo again, and it appears that the announcing of the batter's name is no longer part of the game (unless it's an option or something). So I guess the point is moot.

<t> I don't own the game, but I have shown interest from time to time. I can't remember, but is the phonetic spelling of the batter's name announcement editable? I remember when I've demo'd it before some of the pronounciations are wrong. Back in the days of the Amiga, Earl Weaver Baseball had a ...

The subscription idea is great if it's $20 or so, as long as your base feels they are getting value every year in the updates. That doesn't seem to be an issue at this point.

<t> Just to be clear, I am not talking about changing the player name field, per se. I'm talking about whether there is an editable separate field in the player database where you can enter phonetic spelling so the name is announced correctly. Earl Weaver Baseball for Amiga used to have this. I was ...

<t> KGE,<br/>

Re: Investing in the game...thinking about it. I already own DMB, and am used to the fabulous play-by-play it provides. Puresim needs work there. But I HATE the fact that in DMB if you don't use real life transactions your only choice for roster management is to do it ...

<t> I should add that if this is not currently part of the game Shaun should look at this as for the 2008 version. It would seem to be the perfect opportunity for third party mods. He wouldn't have to do the work himself on the phonetic spellings. Let the whole community have at it and before long ...

<t> Since I don't have the full game, only the demo, I don't know what is accessible, but I can tell you from past experience the announced names are generated by a program (like you suggest, probably a Windows program) that follows phonetic rules of interpreting typed speech. If the player database ...

<t> I am currently checking out the demo. In the regular game, can the pronunciations of the player names be edited using phonetic spelling so they are correct? The current mispronunciations bug me. In the old Amiga version of Earl Weaver Baseball you could correct this if you could figure out the ...
