Hmmm. Still having issues with this. I am using a Mac should that make a difference?

I've re-packaged and made some tweaks to the Quick Start league. You can find the new version here:

So, do you just download the game and buy it from there? Doesnt this open a greater chance to people just figuring out the code, punching it in, and cracking it?

Doesnt seem like good business.


Good game, though?

E-License distribution is outstanding. No waiting for the game to arrive at the store or in the mail, and no need to keep up with a CD. You download and purchase. And no, it's not bad business or terribly insecure. Every purchaser is given a unique license that is only valid for two machines at a time. Most purchasers install one on a home machine and one on laptop or work machine. (I travel some for work, so I have several E-Licensed games on my laptop for those evenings in hotel rooms.) So anyway, the most anyone could ever do would be to find one unique license. Sharing it would be useless, since every purchaser is using at least one of their two licenses, and most are using both.

Great game. It has just a few kinks that need to be worked out, but it's outstanding.

More info on my Quick Start league...

NABA OVERVIEW

The North American Baseball Alliance is a ready-to-go Quick Start league with 24 teams, 2 leagues, 6 teams in each division. The idea behind it was to create a league with teams in relatively large cities in North America, with nicknames and logos that are tied in some way to the city, thus making them easier to associate. Here's the league structure, along with stadium info for the teams:

The "OVL" field in the table above represents the overall net effect of the park's factors, with the details out to the right. A value of 1.000 in OVL would correlate to a ballpark in which stats that are about average for the league are producted. Anything above 1.05, and that stadium will probably be a noticeable hitters' park. Anything below 0.95, and you're looking at a pitchers' park.


I'm not particularly good at unis, but here's a sampling.

EASTERN CIRCUIT, NORTHEAST DIVISION

(Baltimore Blue Claws, Massachusetts Pilgrims, New York Enforcers, Philadelphia Freedom, Toronto Fire, Washington Federals)

EASTERN CIRCUIT, SOUTHEAST DIVISION

(Charlotte Cougars, Georgia Rattlesnakes, Havan Pirates, Lowcountry Gators, Nashville Hawks, Orlando Seminoles)

WESTERN CIRCUIT, COASTAL DIVISION

(Los Angeles Whales, Oakland Black Knights, San Diego Sunshine, San Francisco Gold Rush, Seattle Steelheads, Vancouver Lumberjacks)

WESTERN CIRCUIT, SOUTHWEST DIVISION

(Dallas Oil Kings, Houston Lone Stars, Lousiana Crawfish, Mexico City Aztecs, Oklahoma City Tornado, Phoenix Apaches)

EXPANSION TEAMS AVAILABLE TO DATE

(Columbus Mudcats (SE DIVISION), Pittsburgh Coal Miners (NE DIVISON))
