Okay it looks like I completely mismanaged the pace of the new-team teasers, so in order to get 'em all out in time for the launch next week we'll be going to 2-a-day, every day. Fasten your seatbelts...

'79 Pirates: "I Got All My Sisters With Me" - featuring Bill Madlock, Dave Parker, etc. (Stargell & Blyleven will be removed from this team, represented with other teams).

'20 Browns: featuring George Sisler, our first .400 hitter in the set, a whole bunch of another rakers (.308 team BA), and Urban Shocker.


* Whether a year's card set is [b:bc0aafbd88]Super-Advanced[/b:bc0aafbd88] 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.

The 1979 Bucs are my most memorable team of all time -- I was in high school in Pittsburgh when they won it all. What a summer, what an October....
