Strat on PC>any other baseball game on PS3

[LucianoJJ]

While Strat cannot compete with The Show or MLB2k presentation-wise, I am playing it more than any console game. This could be console burnout. This could be a search for sim over eye candy. Is there anyone else out there who is playing V16 of Strat as much or more than the console baseball games?

I've almost bought Strat a few times now.. because I've gotten sick of OOTP lately. But when you buy Strat they ship you the game right? Or is it a download? I'd rather download it then wait for it to be mailed to me.

No digital download of Strat yet. Shipping should be fairly quick. The only time they get backed up is right around the initial release of the game's latest version. I've never tried OOTP. The only others I've tried are Dynasty League and the old Pursue the Pennant board game. Strat looks low tech, but its gameplay engine is high sim. Lefty-righty splits matter. Managerial strategy is important. Ballpark factors affect the results. The ratings of defense, baserunning, and stealing all are concise and accurate.

I've playedthe board version of apba and the online strat o matic game, but never the pc version. I think I will bite the bullet and buy it though. Only negative is having to buy individual seasons, ill just get 2010 to start probably.

I am curious though... did you buy the card images? If i buy the new V16 with images, and down the road buy another season will they have images? Kind of crazy that it's $22 to buy a season disk...

I've got card image. It is a one shot deal when you first purchase the game. It works for every season you buy.

If you're looking for a good PC baseball game might I recommend PureSim Baseball 4? We just released it today, its digital download, its under $30 and there's no season disks required. There's even a tru-life transaction mode to make transactions happen just as they did from 1920-2010 and it ships with 2011 rosters as well.

The game has a strong AI and incredible statistical accuracy and there's a free playable "lite" version of the game too if you just want to try before you buy. All the details are available at our website - Wolverine Studios

I think I bought the first version of Pure Sim... not sure if it was done by Wolverine at the time...

I may look into it, as I've grown tired of OOTP. With that being said, it's still a different type of experience from Strat and APBA as they are played with the/card system rather then a complete simulation system.

I'll jump on the site for puresim now and do some reading. I did see the new feature with trades, sounds interesting.

Yeah we have only recently acquired PureSim under our umbrella. PureSim 4 is a totally different experience than it was back in the early days of its existence. Like I said, we even have a "lite" version of the game you can play for free and decide if you like the game enough to purchase it.
