Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

never bought/played the windows game? do you set up teams to play each other? in game manage, especially the bullpens? or you buy a year at a time?

I like the windows game, though i haven't gone back to it since i started competing against real people here. I've never played against someone else in windows, so I only know about playing against the game engine.

Yes, you can in-game manage. You make decisions batter-by-batter. You can totally manage the bullpen, baserunning, etc.; only your AI opponent has to deal with HAL. Lots of options for customization. Can pull up head-to-head comparisons for every player on your team and every opponent, so if you want you can really optimize every bullpen and pinch-hitting decision. You can do lots of crazy stuff, really. I had a lot of fun with it.

you don't buy one year at a time. back when i played the money spent was on the game itself and any additional player sets i wanted to purchase. but you can play as many seasons as you want for no additional cost. extended into the future you spend infinitely more on 365.

so if I purchase the Windows game, I get one season worth of players only?

Correct.

and....you'll find out how much more they could be offering us here in the online game.

The amount of control and the available statistics are exponentially higher in the windows game than here. I always complain that they rarely give us more of that, but they always give us more cards.

We have enough cards. We want more game control, and more stats at our fingertips.
