2024 season release?

They must be having real issues and are embarrassed to let us know. If there was an alternative more modestly priced ( and I sure some young tech guys & programmers ) could emulate the software, they would lose much or all of there 365 product. As loyal & valued customers, we deserve communication & updates. Anyone got a geek son-in-law ? I would finance the business myself.

What we really need to do is get a bunch of players together and file a class action lawsuit to get Strat's emails and texts, because all circumstantial evidence suggests games are being programmed & influenced to reward some players on the "inside" while punishing others. The key is the card "splits" between pitchers and catchers results; it's very easy to distinguish repetitive patterns once you know what you're looking for.

I'd also point people to the change that's occurred since Hal Richman stepped away and handed over control to his son. This fits the distressing pattern of modern America where the dad works hard and is a visionary and builds something worthwhile before the spoiled kids who've accomplished nothing ruin it. I doubt Strat0Matic will exist in a few years as the customer base dies off and is not replaced. Just my opinion!

I'll remind everyone there was a mass exodus of online Strat players during the Sporting News ownership, when a popular player discovered all kinds of discrepancies and was making vague comments about corruption inside the company. Strat denied, denied and denied, until they stopped denying and admitted "normalization" of card results was affecting gameplay, "Same as it ever was," I suspect.

Are there any lawyers here? I don't think the people running the show nowadays at Strat are very bright; they've merely got the power of secrecy from a veiled programming opp. We pull back the veil legally and I suspect their scam falls apart in record time. You'd own Strat0Matic by the time it's done, then maybe we can make it good again, though I don't know how you get past the perilously aging Boomer customer demographic (of which I am one).

Otherwise, I'm out for good. IMHO the corruption has become too obvious, the customer service too contemptuous, and I refuse to support it.

I am sorry to see you go, Tom. I enjoyed being a part of the 24 team leagues you organized. You were a great commish.

This was awesome, thanks. I know people may ask for individual cards. I would never do that. But I was hoping you could tell me what pitching rating Holton of Detroit got. Thanks!

thanks to Toshiro for catching my mistake

I was looking at Brant Hurter....

Ghost— I don’t see Holton on the toggle list (for unleashed). Think Holton is regular.

Damn, Ghost. You had me panicking about Holton. I was surprised Trout got a regular card.

Anyone remember that memo?

A few years ago I remember a notice from SOM stating that in order to have more balanced results, some alterations were being implemented in the gaming software to allow for the weaker teams making the playoffs to win a greater percentage of championships. I finished with the best record several times since, and never won the championship after that....Prior to the I had won about 50% Championship each time I made the playoffs.

Anyone remember that memo?

No. But there’s been enough conspiracy minded spirit in these recent posts in this forum. I don’t find this to promote a positive sentiment. Can you shelve your thought until we pass the fulcrum of today (i.e. card drop)?

Would love to see these memos…been playing since 2001, and that’s the first I’ve heard of that! The conspiracy theories always are hilarious. Some think SOM actively favors certain managers? For what reason? File a class action law suit? To what end? Come on now.

The one sentiment I’m on board with is their really needs to be better (or any) communication if SOM wants to maintain loyalty or build from their customer base.

I love this community - you are all awesome and I'm proud to be a member of such a passionate group of baseball enthusiasts!

Some thoughts:

- Appreciate the insights and/or speculations regarding conspiracies ... I always thought I should have WAY more championships under my belt hahaha! Now I know why. I have closure and can move on knowing it's not my fault. More credits - here I come!

- If there's a lawsuit, SOM will have even LESS resources to satisfy our addictions. 2024 might not come out until December! I don't want to sue strato, I want to PLAY MORE strato LOL.

- This business seems like an absolute slam dunk they are swinging and missing on. Or not even swinging. We want more of your product. Let's go!

- Poll question: 2001 and 1980 were the most recent limited time sets ... which would you LOVE to see next?

I was born in 1980 ... I would love anything from 1987-1991. I owned the actual card sets for 90 and 91, or 91 and 92 ... something like that.

The new 365 season for 2024 has now been officially released
