Pesapallo (Finnish Baseball) DLC/Add-On Mode

darkcloud4579 · 09-30-2016, 10:21 AM

So Finnish baseball is a variant of baseball. There are some quirks to the game. The sport is the national game of Finland. Over the past few years, I've become a huge fan of the sport.

Here's a link to the NYTimes story on it from this week.

I bet the Superpesis (major league of Finland) would be receptive, too, because it'd expand the game's reach.

But if there was any way to create DLC to play Finnish rules - I know it'd be a lot of work - you could essentially create Madden for Finnish baseball fans. Not a huge audience, but it'd be captive and there's surely no alternative.

The World Cup of Pesapallo happens every other year, obviously dominated by Finns.

Which sounds nuts and obscure, but then, the game was made by a German to begin with, so it's a lot less weird than if the game were made in Kansas somewhere.

The Wall Street Journal did a story on #pesis a year ago:

Anyway, this is a crazy idea & I know how things go around here so this will likely go to die. But...the OOTP PR guy on Twitter suggested a thread, so I figured I'd put on the radar. Probably not worth the effort, but given the wackier things that OOTP has inside of it, this wouldn't even be the craziest suggestion.

Registered just for this. Love pesäpallo and would love to have this as a DLC.

I'm also quite sure Superpesis would appreciate this, pesäpallo isn't as popular as it used to be so this could definitely help, especially with kids who spend a lot of time on their computers.

This is really cool. Thanks for posting it! Dunno if it could ever happen or not, I guess we'll see.
