They used to post examples of SOM PBP... and it really was done well.
Hopefully, one day Markus will improve on the PBP in the game.

I've played the Strat computer game since the DOS version. The PBP is really hokey, IMO. Really repetitive stuff such as "There's Phil Rizzuto chomping on a piece of pizza. Boy, I'm getting hungry just watching him."
Or... "Look at Bill Veeck making those little guys happy by autographing their baseballs." The PBP is also very repetitious describing gameplay with routine plays often turning into a possible blunder by the fielder involved. I feel that OOTP PBP is much better. The real time out of town scoreboard blows STRAT away. OOTP game stories, despite some repetition are better than STRAT. This is the 1st time I'm NOT ordering Strat and the 1st time I pre-ordered OOTP. I got hooked on OOTP 17 after comparing the "game engines" of STRAT and OOTP. I only replay 1 historical season at a time and OOTP has produced amazing numbers. So much so, that it is the only game I play. From the league news screen to the real time out of town scoreboard screen, this game is awesome!!
