Slower sim scores

I know I've posted this before for an earlier version but I still wish that we could come up with a way to sim the game more slowly so that you can actually see the action develop.

I would call it "Scoreboard Watching" mode. It would have a couple of speed modes. It could use the current scoreboard screen but where you currently have the box with the W/L pitcher and POTG you would have a diamond.

In the fastest speed it would go about a half inning every couple of seconds and the diamond wouldn't be used.

In medium speed it would go about an at-bat every couple of seconds and you would have the diamond to show how many are on base and where and it would also show the number of outs.

At the slowest speed it would do a pitch every couple of seconds and you would see the pitch count as well. Maybe at that speed level you could put in the idea of a ticker running that listed major headlines of what was happening (player X has been pulled for an injury, player Y just hit a grand slam).

Have you tried RTS (real time sim)? You can scoreboard watch there, jump in and out of games, and control the speed of play.

It's been around for years too.

Found it. Thanks. Hadn't seen that option before.
