And obviously because we have a stats driven engine and not a 3D engine, what you see in 3D is always an interpretation of the calculated play, same as the PbP, so there will be differences. Having a pure 3D engine is not possible and not desired, as a) simulations would slow to a crawl and b) the tens of thousands of lines of PbP text would be obsolete.
So, if you do not like it in its current state then I am sorry. All I can say is that we spend a considerable time, considering our limited resources, working on it every single year and making it better every single year, nobody can dispute that.  |
Thank you for speaking with us... much appreciate you and your staff... and your wonderful creation.
I'm amazed at how far the animation has come in just a few years... I never thought I would see it as good as it is today... and I know it will get better as time goes by.
I no longer use the PBP... only the animation... and I love it in spite of its imperfections.
The animation puts me right behind home plate right in the ballpark... there's no better place to be.
Thank you OOTPB!
