[b:5956010ba5]Edit: Discount no longer available.[/b:5956010ba5]

SportingNews.com would like to extend to you a special, dramatic discount on ALL new Strat-O-Matic Online teams this week, for being our most loyal customers, and for sticking with us through thick and thin.

Effective immediately, and through Friday, March 3, use the discount code [b:5956010ba5]06SOMHALF[/b:5956010ba5] when purchasing new individual teams to get [b:5956010ba5]over 50% off[/b:5956010ba5] (a $12.50 value) from each team.

Other details:
- This special half-off discount only applies to individual teams. The always-discounted 5-team packs will not be further discounted, but you can use the codes below to buy 5-team packs at the special discounted single team rate, which is still a great deal. This is just so you don't have to buy a single team 5 times.
- There's no limit.

The 5-team pack convenience codes are:
06SOM055PK - 2005 game 5-pack
06SOMATG5PK - ATG II 5-pack
06SOM805PK - Back to the 80's 5-pack
06SOM695PK - 1969 game 5-pack

(In other words, using these last 4 codes will take the regular $99.95 price down to $62.25, which is the equivalent of 5 x ($24.95 / 2).)

Thanks again for playing Strat-O-Matic Baseball Online. This year we promise we'll be making our biggest leaps forward in the game's history.

Where do I go if I just want to buy a team or a five-pack without naming my team? Everytime I go to Create Your Team, I get the "name your team" page. I just want to buy a few teams with the discount and stash them until my current teams have played out more of their seasons. Do I keep hitting this page because i already have credits? Does anybody know?

Thanks.

Same problem I ran into. I went ahead and named the teams I had on credit, and just bought another 5 pack of discounted teams. Like yourself, I would like to know if there is a way to get around this.

Not if you have credits in that paticular game. Can always buy a 5 pack in a game where you don't have credits, bank them, then transfer them over when the time comes.

[quote:7d5bd689ba]That's a good question. I didn't know this was how it worked. In any case, I found the way to do it. Replace "create_team.html" with "create_team_choose_product.html" when you get to the "create a new team" page. That should do it.[/quote:7d5bd689ba]


This is what Bernie said in the SOM Online thread about this question. I've tried it and it works.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. Hope to see you in a league soon.
