It's a Wrap! PureSim v1.80 Officially Released

[puresimmer]

I am happy to announce that PureSim Baseball v1.80 is now officially released. I'd like to thank you guys for all the hard work testing over the past few weeks. It certainly made a difference!

The official release is a full install that can be installed on top of any previous release or beta.

Now, Crash and I will begin working on new stuff for v1.90

Why does this always seem to happen while I'm at work? %$@#%@% ! I guess anything good is worth waiting (a few hours) for.

[puresimmer]

Well, if you have been grabbing the betas and release candidates, it's nothing huge, just stable. If you haven't, then I think you'll like what you see with 1.80.

Just played my first game after the new release... I have been waiting for a stable version.

All I can say is... wow!

Excellent work! I love the new scoreboard, green background, etc...

Not that text sims are all about graphics, but you polished up everything really, really nice. This is after simming just one game... can't wait to really get back into it.

Yea, Padresfan helped immensely there. I think we are on to something with this community development thing

Thanks for posting the positive comments, it really makes my day.

Well done Guys, and thanks.
Is installation a straight overlay, or uninstall/re-install ?
I believe what they say about "assume". That may be optimistic, though.

(There was an old correlary to "Murphy's Law" that stated "Murphy was an optimist".
This piece http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_law indicates that the correlary is known as Flanagan's Precept.)

Thanks Shaun! On Windows 7, it stopped at the end of the installation and just hung there, but it appeared to install everything. It stopped at some .wav file. But it was the last file i think. The game seems to run good

No need to uninstall. Just straight overlay will be fine.

[Orcin]

Installed and running perfectly on Vista 64. Great job!

[Old Dog]

Excellent ! Thank you very much again !
Some of us might read the release notes prior to or during the download.
Have you considered putting a line or two about any specific install instructions in the release notes ?
One of two things will happen:
You'll receive fewer queries like mine today or
No one will ever read the release notes again [8|]

Looks great here !

Thanks Shaun and Crash !!

[Hard Sarge]

looks very good to me

just wish you would rework the relief pitchers, either speed up how long it takes to be able to pitch, or, make them pitch bad, if they are worn out

these guys are worn out/very worn out, and pitch like they headed into the Hall of Fame, get them when they are good or better, and they get hammered

overall, I think the thing is, it takes too long to recover after pitching (most short men can pitch a few days in a row, before getting tired)

a long man, should act as a starter if he pitches more then a inning or two

I think my complaints about ball flight distance, is graphic, I did have a guy get a 326 foot HR, only way was if he hit right down the line, but the graphic showed it to right center

First time poster. Been playing the game a few months now. Great game.

I updated to 1.80 last night over the 1.76b version and noticed 2 things that are missing:

1. There is no Injuries tab/button at the bottom of the screen in the Global options area. It makes it hard to be able to see all the injuries in the league without this button there. You have to go into each team's injury list to show them. Can we put this back in please.

2. It doesn't show in the box score who won-loss the game or holds and saves. It used to show this after the names of the pitchers, but after the latest update, it shows nothing but the names.

Again, great game, keep up the great work.

Hacko, the Injuries report is now accessed through the Stats/Reports page.

I am happy to see Vista suppoorted, I can move between my laptop and desktop again. Shaun, I seem to rememebr you trying or wanting to set up PS to run in a 1920 x 1200 resolution. I do not seem to see it the notes, were you able to make it happen?

Hey Thanks, I see it in that section now. Now we need to get the other problem I pointed out fixed.[:)]

[Wrathchild]

I've just started my first game with 1.80 and this is the pregame screen I get. Any idea why it would look like this?

[Wrathchild]

Oh, and I second the return to the Box Score of the Win, Loss, Hold(s), and Save for the Pitcher section. Let's not start pulling things away with the modifications. I'd also like to see the return of the team's score in the boxes at the top of the Box Score, Visitor on the left, Home on the right.

That graphic was changed and for some reason it didn't overwrite yours. Typically this would only happen if yours had a later date.

Uninstall/re-install might be a good idea, because that is odd.
