Dunno if you've done so already or not castorius, but I encourage you to post this over on the Mogul forums as well. We can't count on Clay coming by this thread regularly to get our impressions.

Ya I posted it on the Beta Discussion forum a couple of days back, but it went to deaf ears. I imagine Clay might've been busy with the upcoming release. Maybe I'll post it over in the main discussion forum sometime. |

Anybody know when the demo will be released ?
The Mogul site says march 17th, but it hasn't been released yet... I just couldn't get into OOTP6 and Puresim so I'm ready to get a new baseball game, but want to try it out before. I have very fond memories of the game but want to try it first because i've been burned before...

There's a patch coming out Monday, so I'd guess the demo would come out a few days after that. I believe Clay said somewhere to expect the demo around a week or so after release.

Anyone who thinks trades are screwed up go over to the board and vote there is a poll. If we get enough on this I am sure we can get an improvement in this aspect.

I can't post over at the BBM forums yet, so I'll post this here first. Couple of wacky bugs have come up. First, one of the draftees I was looking at had insane HS stats. For each of the 4 years he played in over 1500 games, had about 700 HR's and 1500 RBI each year. Second, I've seen some HS/College pitchers have negative win totals. A bug I remember from a couple of versions ago; some teams play 163 games. And this isn't tied for a playoff spot extra games. I lost out on the second pick because a team had lost one more game than I did because they played 163.

I just played a season with 8.00v and had some odd results. I played with the Red Sox and the Devil Rays in 6 games won 6 games but check out the scores: 8-2, 8-0,26-1, 24-2,36-0,19-3
Wow they had 68 and 57, and 49 hits in a couple of those games. |

I hope that's fixed in the patch. Thanks to all you guys who are picking through the bugs and making this a better game for everybody. I think I'll wait for the demo...

Does anyone know how long the approval process for the BM boards takes? It's been a couple of hours now and I haven't gotten anything in my mailbox.

I've fixed both these bugs in Version 8.01 (posted in our forums today -- we'll be posting 8.02 in the next day or so which will auto-extract). The high school stat bug was funny. It created some 700-pound rookies on occasion too. And our 2005 schedule had an extra game between Cincinnati and Washington that I removed. Clay Last edited by Dreslough : 03-21-2005 at 03:54 PM. |

Basically it isa great game very immersive I would recommend it especailly at the pric eof 19.99. However, having said that I am holding off starting an universe until tehy patch the shitty trade AI. Clay, has said he will be addressing the trade AI it sounds like soon. He mentioned some kind of red, yellow ,green designation where palyers are designated by you so the CPU AI knows who you will trade for . That is agreat idea but I hope he cuts the 9 players for 1 crap too. It appears thta he was trying to make the trade AI so stringy he succeeded but now the AI trys to screw you every time. I had a the Yankees offer me Jon Leiber for ...get this D.Ortiz, 3 AAA rated in the 80's, J.Damon and M.Timlin. It is a very fun game just need some more work.

Fascinating. I'm really ready to dive in and play with however this is supposed to work. It has *huge* potential. I believe I read that the help file is supposed to be updated some time this week. Looking forward to that. As I've said before, the trade thing really doesn't bother me, since I rarely/never accept AI trades in any text sim anyway. I just turn 'em off in Mogul, and am not bothered. Trades that I offer the AI have seemed good enough, so the following is the main thnig I'm waiting for before starting a "serious" career:

I've been busy and haven't had a chance to look at the new patch. Like SD, the trade thing doesn't bother me too much since I also seldom accept trade offers and the trade AI seems reasonable in trade offers I've generated.
The big market/small market disparity is still there though and I hope either this patch or the next one addresses that. |

Fair enough. However, that still leaves the question of the trades conducted between the AI teams - are they realistic, or does this area need work? |

I understood what you originally said, but I'm hoping that still gets fixed as I like the idea of the computer offering me trades.. several versions ago - it did an adequate job of offering players and didn't offer you a trade every day. If I purchase bbmgl, I'll turn it off for now.. I am glad cpu teams do trade with eachother though. When is your run with the game.. complete with posts? I'm looking foward to it. Todd |

OK, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on this one. I'm hoping SkyDog gets a chance to do a thorough test-drive and report on the latest patch to confirm the game is pretty close to where it should be.

I think I'm going to wait for SkyDog's future Braves dynasty with this before I pull the trigger as well. No pressure, though Ben!

I'm guessing that SkyDog has the inside running for this. From the Sports Mogul newsletter:

Yeah...I saw that a couple of days ago and thought, "Hmmmm...I wonder if I actually linked to Sportsmogul in the thread..."
Maybe I should edit the first post...

This game is getting better. I've began a career in 2005 with the Pirates and am slowly making progress. After three seasons I have gotten them to a point where they are financially secure and we finished at .500. The upper levels of difficulty are pretty damn hard. So far, I'm thinking I won't need any house rules.
My one beef remains injuries. Maybe the numbers are realistic, but it is the only thing that hinders me from having a truly great gaming experience. I put the injury setting to -30% and they still seemed a little too frequent. My other complaints (that I had posted) are diminishing or gone. The draft wasn't too fun for me before when I was playing a historical league, but I think that was more because the names were too familiar. When I get to choose between Roberto Alomar, Frank Thomas, Mike Piazza, Juan Gonzalez, or Sammy Sosa, it just didn't seem too fun. With a fictional universe or post-2004, the combination of scouting variance and choosing between developed-lower potential or undeveloped-higher potential guys is more fun. I guess my one remaining (minor) complaint/tweak with the draft is that too many of the players can become impact players in the majors too quickly. My other complaint was with the depth chart and auto-sort feature. I'm used to OOTP format and think it is superior, but BBM is a "lite" baseball sim and, after not having played it in years, its depth chart system is coming back to me and become more familiar. The opposing teams' AI on signing FAs needs some work. Too many major stars are still holding out for huge deals on opening day. Being able to sign impact players a month into the season is sort of cheap. If a player is unsigned a few weeks before the season starts, he should be looking for the best 1-year deal he can find. |
