'55 Reds: featuring a handful of All-Star big bats: Ted Kluszewski, Smoky Burgess, Gus Bell, Wally Post. Super-Advanced season.

'78 Red Sox: Pudge, Lynn, Rice, Evans... (no Yaz or Eck) Also a Super-Advanced season.

Note: The last 2 teams, to be announced tomorrow, are both replacements to existing ATG II teams.


* Whether a year's card set is [b:e4e984b283]Super-Advanced[/b:e4e984b283] or not was a significant factor in our team decisions. SA card sets are sets that Strat-O-Matic officially created and released for that year, which include more accurate data (such as ballpark HR and clutch tendencies) than non-SA years. The 1966 Orioles (SA) replacing the 1970 Orioles (non-SA) is an example of such a move.

Other notes:

- Please refer to [url=http://forums-beta.sportingnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=96862]this thread[/url] for where I previously announced that ATG III will feature the option to play any of a number of pre-defined subsets of the master player pool, if you don't want to play with the entire pool.

- Since the team pool is growing so large, we are somewhat relaxing our "Greatest Teams" criterion for selecting new teams, and shifting the focus a little more towards the players. It's not a dramatic shift, but I just wanted to explain why you'll be seeing some 3rd place teams making the cut for ATG III.

- Error ratings WILL BE NORMALIZED across era, so you'll no longer have to worry about guys like Honus Wagner committing 50 errors a year.

Me, too! :D

Bernie ! Got a release date solidified yet? We were hoping SOON .

Red Sox...nice choice.

Reds...I'm glad they got another team...a horrible choice...like we need another big bat 1B.... :roll: :roll: :roll:


At least now I'll have more time to spend with the kids!

Great job Bernie, I know you've put your heart and soul into this game...at least you're keeping the East Coasters happy!!!!
