PureSim 1.73 Free Version (New Stuff)

[puresimmer]

Here are the new features that have been completed and tested for the free release (so far). I have a few more tweaks I am working on as well, but I'll need to see how they come out before listing them here.

* PureSim Baseball is now FREEWARE! I hope you enjoy the game

* Includes 1900-2008 Major League Players / Teams

* Reduced Memory Footprint

* New! Game log data is no longer stored in the main assocation database file, reducing the size of the database. (it is stored in compressed files on disk).

* New! improved computer GM AI.

* New! Salary financial modeling. More realistic/steeper salary curve league wide, better spread, better age/salary distribution and more.

* New! Window location changes made in the Ballpark designer will save on a per park basis. This will be great for modders, since you can have much different window layouts based on individual park photos!

* New! Much smoother drag and drop operation in the ball park designer.

* New! Windows can now be dragged/moved while watching or managing a game. Their location will be saved as well. (Except the scorebard, which still requires the ballpark designer to be repositioned).

* New! Improved pitch count numbers and more realistic pitch sequences.

* New! Tweak, removed team info windows from the gamecast screen. Many users felt they were not worth the amount of real estate.

* New! Japanese Players. After 1995 there is a slight chance that mature Japanese players can appear in the player pool.

* New! Removed requirement to own a team in order to make moves. You are now the owner of a team and also the commish. This makes it easier for users that want full control over their league. Previously, this required a user to make a multiplayer association, even though they were really playing in single player mode.

* New! Minor UI flow tweaks, removed a few somewhat redundant message dialogs/popups.

Wow! This sounds nice!

A couple of questions, though:

1) What do existing Puresimmers need to do to get the benefit of the changes?

2) Where are the team info windows now? I relied on those heavily to keep track of how many pinch hitters/relievers both I and my opponent had. If the windows are gone completely, is there an easy way to see this information now?

Sounds interesting. Can't wait to try out on a new association I was going to start shortly anyway.

Great! I apologize for being a "Doubting Thomas".[:o] However, I'll echo Wrathchild's concern. What happens to all of a previous owner's parks, photos, custom layouts etc?

All existing parks, layouts etc will work fine. You will just now have the ability to edit the window location sindividually by park (should you see fit).

1) Simply download and install it, just like any version. Your existing PureSim 2007 will then be updated automatically.

2) I decided to undo that change since I had forgotten there already was an option to hide them So they be there like always for ya Wrath.

Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch, Shaun.
