Just in time for the new season, a final patch to PureSim 2007.

Download PureSim Baseball v1.71 Patch

This patch will automatically update any version since 1.70b.

(Note, if you are confused on which patches you need, you can always follow the steps on this thread to go through the full process.

Tweaks - Numerous speed improvements in simulation engine and initial player generation.

Fix - Strikeouts were inflated for some real pitchers that had seen limited real-life action when they were imported into PureSim.

Tweak - Improved real player import algorithms.

Tweak - Improvements to the AI's rotation setup decisions.

New - Added new roster size option of 40. This is a nice one for playing with real players. In many of the seasons, lahman can actually have more than 35 players worth of data. So it's a nice number before 50, where typically scrubs would end up getting generated to fill the holes. Note, this is a better option for contemporary seasons as there tends to be more players available.

New - Added support for the newly released Lahman 2007 data. In order for this to work you must download and unzip the lahman database
NOTE! Be sure to download the one labeled Version 5.5 - Microsoft Access -- PureSim can only read that version.

After unzipping lahman55.mdb copy it into your c:\Matrix Games\PureSim Baseball 2007 folder (or wherever you installed to). If you did this correctly then the next time you launch PureSim you will see a dialog indicating that the database will need to be processed. This will take SEVERAL minutes, so please be patient. After that, you'll be all set and PureSim will now use all the updated and tweaked data in the new Lahaman database!

Have a good baseball season!

Shaun

Thank you sir !!

p.s. I told you Glenn !! [;)]

Thanks!

The link for the 1.70b hot fix isn't working.  The 1.70h link works.  Is 1.70b necessary to get the latest version ?

Yes Shaun thanks for the update.

Same problem as above--downloaded 1.70 and 1.70h. 1.70b could not be downloaded because page is unavailable and cannot be opened.Will 1.71 work properly without 1.70b hot fix downloaded?[&:]

No, but I will fix that.

Thanks, as always.

What a great surprise!!!
 
Thanks Shaun!

With the Lahman 2007 data, does that mean that the only thing new to the database would be the addition of players data for the 2007 season or does it also update data to players from others years and eras?

Forget my previous question in the other thread.  Thanks for your continued suppport. I know that you are a family manwith another job and have had recent health issues so this is way above the call of duty IMHO. Thanks again.

Thank you, Shaun! [&o][&o][&o]

Thanks Shaun!

A very nice surprize

This sounds like a great update. Thanks Shaun for all your hard work on this game.

I just bought the game and I noticed that on the splash screen, I have version 1.70h. So I gather that a new install of the game does not have the most current update?  No problem if that is the case, I just want to make certain if I should install this update or not....

That's correct, though you're only one update behind. If you grab 1.71 and install it you'll be all set. We should have the store version updated to 1.71 within a week.
