PureSim Baseball 4 - Patch 2 and new price

[Shaun Sullivan]

Warning, shameless plug begins below this line :)

Hey guys, we have released the official Patch #2 for PureSim Baseball 4. This update has tons of new tweaks and improvements

In addition, PureSim is now priced at just $14.95, so if you are on the fence this is a pretty sweet deal.

PureSim 4 produces super-realistic results for historical play, and this latest patch has added som significant improvements to fictional play and the financial model. We are going to continue to add new free updates all Summer as well.

Great opportunity to jump in on a much improved product.

[Shaun Sullivan]

Bump in case anybody missed it :)

PureSim for $14.95, what a great Father's Day gift ;)

Also, I am so confident that PS has the most realistic historical player results, that I'd love to have a suggestion or two for a season you guys would like to see simmed. Maybe I could then post the results?

Or we could pick a season, and folks could choose a team and their projected record, closest prediction gets a free copy?

Would like to see results for 1930 and 1968.

[JPhillips]

Glad I didn't buy Thursday when I thought about it.

[Shaun Sullivan]

Would like to see results for 1930 and 1968.

Cool, I'll do 1930 first. Any predictions? :)

[cubboyroy1826]

I will take a stab at my Cubbies. Having very little knowledge of the 1930s but let's say 92-62 finishing first and taking the NL.

[Shaun Sullivan]

Okay, it's July 1st 1930, here are a few quick screen shots (standings, AL/NL Batting leaders...)

Yanks running away with it in the AL, but super tight NL race...

1968 up next, any predictions?

[cubboyroy1826]

Okay 1968 the year before the great Cubby collapse. I will go with Baltimore form the AL and the Cards from the NL. With the Cards winning it all in 6. My beloved Cubbies finishing 82-80 and finishing 4th.

[rowech]

I chose 1930 and 1968 because those are the two extremes. Your 1930 numbers (looking at league AVG, OBP, and SLG), unless they changed at the end, are low on offense across the board. It's not horrible by any means but it's off by a decent amount.

I'll be curious to see what happens with 1968.

[Shaun Sullivan]

Here are the full 1930 results (http://www.electricplum.com/simresults/1930/almanac/index.html) (Generated via the game's HTML Almanac feature)

It's 2010 all over again in 1968, The Giants Win!

Check out Marichal's dominant WS CG clincher (he was 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA in the series). I can upload the full Almanac if anyone is interested, but it takes a while.

Any other seasons, or have I worn out my welcome? :)

I'm buying today. How about 1985. Royals need Denkinger to win the World Series? :)

[EagleFan]

1980?

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

'85 Royals 95-67

Quick PS4 question. My PS4 window overruns the monitor size on my laptop. Best way to adjust that? Option for full screen available?

The game wants at least 1024x768, but under "Options and Utilities" there is an option for "Scaled Mode" which could help depending on your laptop.

What is your desktop rez?

1366x768. It cuts off the bottom just below Wolverine Studios. I have to slide the window around to see 'A Shawn Sullivan Game'.

Maybe an issue with using another DPI than the default?

Sorry :) Windows allows custom "large font" settings as well as custom text sizes (DPI). I was wondering if maybe that was it.

[Johnny93g]

1985 eh, Blue Jays 100-62 and will win the world series. They won't screw up that 3-1 lead against the Royals this time!!

Nope, I'm not a customize person. Windows default.

[Shaun Sullivan]

Holy collapse Toronto! They lose 4 in a row down the stretch, while the Yanks win 4 and they give up the division. Tough to win 96 and not even make the playoffs. I guess this is why the wildcard was added...

Still playing out my 1982 Milwaukee Brewers season. Oddly one game I struck out 26 times against a fairly mediocre pitcher.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Pretty impressive finish for the 85 Royals after being just over .500 in the regular season.

Was Gorman Thomas playing all 9 positions? :)

[dubb93]

Is it possible to start out in say 1900 and have the game import rookies year by year? Is this automated? Is expansion and movement automated? If not is it a PITA? I used to love doing this in OOTP 6.5 but to be honest it was kind of a PITA.

A wicked shortstop!

Yes, it is all automated. The only issue is you can't import the rookie to their real teams. There is an option that increases the odds but it is not a guarantee.

[GrantDawg]

Bake McBride. There is name I haven't thought of in decades.

[SackAttack]

80' Phillies 92-70

I thought I did pretty well getting as close as I did the Dodgers' record, but holy shit.

[rowech]

Third replay in a row where the avg, obp, and slg numbers are too low. The good news is that they're consistently too low by about the same amount each time so I would guess that makes it something easier to fix. For a career sim type deal it's not a big deal but if you're trying to attract Strat, DMB, etc players that ain't gonna cut it.

[PilotMan]

Love your support Shaun, you sold me again. The historical stuff pulled me back.

[cubboyroy1826]

Okay Eaglefan the question is did you just go with the Phillies actual record from the year or did you make a guess?

[EagleFan]

Okay Eaglefan the question is did you just go with the Phillies actual record from the year or did you make a guess?

Made a guess, not even sure what their actual record was. It was more hopeful than anything. I have yet to see the Phillies actually win the division in any past baseball sim where I tried that season.

[cubboyroy1826]

Kudos. That 1980 team was one heck of a team. I used to hate when Schmidt came to Wrigley.

I used to like watching him go to Wrigley... :)

Mike Schmidt + Wrigley= Trouble for Cubbie pitchers
