After many years playing this game as a simmer only because I found
playing them out boring. But now with the 3d stadiums and 2d players that actually run around and plays you can see happening. It now reminds me of Earl Weaver and I will be able to play my hero's the 61 Yanks.

I'm also interested in starting a 1927 Yanks league with the colored barrier off so I can see how good some of those great's from the negro league's become with a chance to play all their career in the bigs.

So Markus you out did your self this year with some big additions that people have asked for years.

I'm 66 now but will still buy this game every year at least to my 80's I hope, have been married 45 years so with my wife's help I will make it.

Like many other's who have been around since the early days it has been a wild ride that has ended in the direction you wanted. And to imagine this game came from a young German boy with a dream.

Also this site seems much more friendly now than 4 or 5 years ago with
lots of people helping and less bickering, also a great bunch of moderaters on here very helpful.

Love the avatar - Bosumate!

I agree, I have played this game since its inception - and it gets better every year, and I have logged and will continue to log countless hours towards this game. Baseball is my passion, this game allows you to create your own universe.

Agree. This forum is very supportive. To use a sports expression, it brings the crowd into the game.

I've been playing all my games as the enhanced 3D is freaking awesome.

The cool thing is.. I can start to sim games and hide scores and then just watch the highlights!

Love reading other users having fun with this years game!
