Dynasty League Baseball Online Overview

[davis420]

I just got done playing the 1st game of the 2009 World Series, Yankees vs Phillies. Sabathia just didn't have it going in Game 1. Cliff Lee pitched a Cg, giving up 4 runs and SO 8. It seems like a fun game to play but the price is what might put me off of buying it.

It is a great concept - great gaming experience. The price unfortunately does not justify the content at this point. I would consider joining for a one time fee or under $5.00 a month.

I have played Dynasty cards & dice since it was released in 1994. I have pretty much every card set they have produced. If you wanted to purchase the 2010 cards that will be available here in November it would cost you $88 ($60 for the cards, $15 for the ballpark sheets, and $13 for shipping). I average purchasing 2 card sets/year (the new one plus a retro set) so I'd say I spend between $150-$200/year on the cards. Viewing it like that makes this seem not so bad, but I admit it's in the eye of the beholder.

So....you are saying that you spend $150-200/year to play baseball, and can only play 1 season for each team you choose. That is very high for me....if I did that my wife would kill me. It cuts into her shoes fund.

I'm not sure what you mean about playing 1 season for each team I choose. With each card set I purchase I have every team from that year. For example, if I wanted to play the 1957 Brooklyn Dodgers season I could, or any other team from that year. Does that explain it better?

Yes...that is what I meant. I am more of a dynasty type player....so seems a bit high for me.

Ah, I see what you mean. You are looking more for something like OOTP. I am more of a replayer type based on actual season stats which is what Dynasty is. I haven't used it, but OOTP sounds like the best game for what you are looking to do.

My favorite baseball game going back to PTP board game. There is no game with anywhere near the level of detail.

I subscribed yesterday.
