ESPN Ultimate Baseball Online
Open Beta for this new game coming out in July.
https://r.espn.go.com/espn/fantasy/baseball/ubo Heres a description of the game: A massively-multiplayer online game tied in with ESPN's website and sports news content. In the game, fans and gamers compete online with and against other players in 3D virtual stadiums by controlling customized, personalized characters (avatars), playing a particular position, forming teams and leagues and playing against other ESPN Ultimate Baseball Online participants. Players control their avatar while batting, pitching, fielding, running, stealing bases and every other baseball action. Gamers can practice, play pick-up games, join or found their own teams, compete against rival teams, play in specialized tournaments, and win league championships in post-season play. After creating their own characters, gamers can build their skill level (player stats) through practice and successful play.

this game has potential but I have to say it is not very good at all right now.

So each player on the field is going to be a real player in the MMO? I give that about a -200% chance of success if that's the case. If that's not exactly the case, what happens when your 1B disconnects while he's at the plate because his team is losing.

I was thinking more in the -150% range. |

I think in that case DEEP anal probing is called for.

This is the game Ultimate Baseball Online, IMO it has no chance cause who wants to play RF for some team for 9 innings and never have a ball hit your way.

People bought WWII Online, a game where you run around for hours without killing anything and then die.
