Hat-tip to the devs...

You can play this game for ages and every now and then another little feature pops up that shows the thought that has gone into its creation and development.

If a player has been designated "two-way", as is the case with Smoky Joe Wood, below, in my Bucs save, their profile page switches to show both hitting AND pitching stats over recent seasons.

Lovely touch, guys. Great work.

Thanks for posting the screen share and note--nice touch indeed.

I experienced a new gameplay feature last night that was unexpected. I enjoy taking a team and manually playing each game during a season--I have done this way too many games over the years.

Using 1989 players for a fictional league, it is tied 3-3 in the top of the 9th inning. My team loaded the bases with no one out--I have a fast runner on third. Bo Jackson hits a flyball to deep center, but the CF makes a great catch. The CF then fires the ball to second getting one runner out who evidently did not believe the ball was going to be caught and did not make it back to the bag. The second basemen then throws to first where my other runner had done the same. A flipping triple play and all before my slumbering runner on 3rd was able to tag and cross the plate. I then proceeded to lose in the bottom of 9th on a walk-off 4-3.

I applaud the developers for the ability to witness these unique and unexpected plays, but wow, I sure would have been happier to experience that from the winning side.
