Subject: TSN: Historical Simulation Game


  Posted by: Erik B. - [239592612] Wed, Jul 10, 2002, 17:44

Normally, I stay clear of hyping new games, but I thought I'd mention our Historical Simulation game here, because it's truly special:

http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/baseball/stratalltime

In this game, we've picked the top 35 teams of all time (e.g. 53' Dodgers, 27' Yanks) and allowed you to pick players from them. Then over a 162-game season, we simulate games for you against other members head-to-head using STrat-O-Matic's gaming engine.

The results have been spectacular. You need to think about things like batting order (do I bat Joe Morgan first or second?), pitching order, when you use closers and set-up men, and whether you platoon players.

I'm normally not this effusive or self-promotional, but please take a look at the game. It's the best things we've built, in my opinion, over the last year.

Ref,when I read that first sentence a few minutes ago I thought gee that won't go far here.

Eric that must be part of your job,right? No reason to be sly about it. I'm sure everyone here appreciates your postings,good or bad or hyping. Keep us informed is a good policy with paying customers.

Act NOW, and we'll also include a free, Heroes-of-the-hall bobble-head collection. Want Babe Ruth on your dashboard? Ty Cobb jitter-bugging in your kitchen? Act NOW - teams are going FAST.
