[dennisfs561]

It's version 11 of the software. This has the 2005 cards.

im thinking of buyign the CDrom......but i have a few questions also.....


with the purchase do i get everything needed to play online????
run my own league for myself???? do i get all the payers?????

[Stoney18]

I haven't played netplay yet but it is included.

Version 11 will get you all of the 2005 players including those that don't make the cut with SOM.

I've set up leagues that mirror the one I'm in for SOM and done simulations but haven't run a league with 11 other players. Pretty sure that's part of the netplay though.

but i can run my own season with all te major league teams...just like if you buy the board game......????

[Stoney18]

yes,

You can set the league so all games run automatically (for simming) or set your team to manual and all others to auto.

[goredsox33]

yes thats what i want to do run my own team and simm all others
but does it come like the board game with the MLB teams....or is it like the online version where i have to draft?

[bleacher_creature]

My only advice is to make sure you get the version that has the scanned cards for viewing. I don't see the need for the physical cards unless you want to play the board game.

IMO, anyone who has spent $50, should spend time playing the CD ROm game (or board).

[goredsox33]

i dont want the actualy cards
i want to be able to view them on the CDrom........

now im confused

1) CDrom game comes with all MLB players on their appropriate teams. So you can play the Red Sox against everyone else.

2) It does have a draft feature where you can draft against the computer.

3) What Bleacher is saying is to order the correct version for what you want to do. You can order,

a) Just the game which has player stats,

b) a plus a scanned version of the player card. This is what Bleacher is saying to get and I recommend also. Just like the online version you can click on the player and see their card. But only with the card option.

c) The game, with or without the card image, AND the actual physical cards. If you don't have the board game the physical cards aren't necessary.

Sounds like B is what you want.
