CD-ROM question

[thisisdan26]

Im looking into buying the CD for strato and I dont know which one to get. I know version 13 is the newest, but theres a couple different ones to choose from. Theres the Version 13.0 New:

Our latest Computer Baseball Release, containing the 2007 season rosters. Requires Windows XP or higher (Note: older operating systems might work but will not officially be supported), 800 by 600 minimum screen resolution and an internet connection.

Version 13.0 New wtih Card Image:
Our latest Computer Baseball Release, containing the 2007 season rosters. Requires Windows XP or higher (Note: older operating systems might work but will not officially be supported), 800 by 600 minimum screen resolution and an internet connection. The included Card Image Utility will allow you to directly view the printed board game card on screen within the computer software. NOTE: this option must be ordered up front, you cannot add it on to your game at a later date.


When it says "card image" is that what is seen when we look at the online cards? I dont see why thats even an option to buy the CD without the card image if that was the case. And if that is the case for what "card image" means, then how would you even play the game if you were to buy the version with out it? Pick players by just looking at the stats??

Someone help before I waste $70
:lol:

yes, thats what it means.you get the player card image on the screen.do not buy it without the card image.becuase ,yes your right why would you ever want to play strat without the game cards. its the best part of the game.if you do not ask for the image cards.then you will not get them.i got burned the first time i ordered.becuase it does not look like the people that make strat do play it.because thats the way they will send it, like everyone that plays it plays it without the cards.the game is no good without the cards.
and the cd rom version is worth every penny otherwise.

Get the card image. It doesn't cost that much more, and if you don't get it, you cannot get it later.

It's worth trying a game without the image to see if you like it. There is a play-by-play that gives a nice description of the action. And if you see a ground ball go to shortstop, you can't know for sure if it will be caught since you won't know if it's an X chance or not. If by chance you do prefer it without the cards, you can turn off the card option off (but not vice versa if you don't have it to begin with).
