Would Be Nice If. . .

One of the great anomalies with text-based sports sims is the limitation in the variety of textual descriptions of the actual sporting contest. That, in my opinion, should be one of the strong suits of a text-based sim. Such is the case with the PC version of Title Bout. The text is so limited, dry and repetitive that it fails to draw the player into a virtual boxing world. Surely, that should be the strength of any text-based sim. I just hope that the Trunzo Brothers are able to expand fight descriptions in the up-coming version so that the fights can come to life with the vivid and diverse language of boxing. It's within their capabilities - I just hope they come though!

I am sure that will happen. From a post I saw on the Unofficial Title Fight forum they did not get the descriptive fight action they were after and had some problems with the programmer I understand. For a future version this was one area that was intended for expansion they commented. And it sure does need it as it lets down the rest of a good program.

I agree Mark, the idea of a text based game should be like turning your radio on and hearing the fight live.
