PureSim Baseball 2006's Best Kept Secret
(I posted this on my site, but figured I'd post here too for any PureSimmers out there)
OK, its not like EA sports or anything, but I think those of you that enjoy managing PureSim games will love this feature.... PureSim 2006 supports a fully animated graphical ball flight with the appropriate trajectory based on the hit type! Gone is the old "line on the field" method. It's really cool to see a ball with a line drive arc head into the gap and anticipate the hit. Its also cool to be on defense and see a nice high arc lazy fly leave the bat and just know your outfielder will camp under it and make the play. I was surprised at how much it adds to the in-game experience. Add to that brand new ambient crowd sounds, umpire calls, hot dog and beer vendors, fireworks displays on home runs etc.. and the game just feels a lot more fun. The animated ball flight looked good enough that my 8 year old said "Dad, that looks cool," which is quite a revelation from that jaded little fellow Take this stuff, along with new managerial options for things like setting outfield depth and more, and the in game experience has seen its biggest boost in PureSim's history. I can't wait for you guys to see it in action! Last edited by Shaun Sullivan : 04-11-2006 at 09:49 PM. |

One step closer to one of these games recreating the magic that was MicroLeague!

Looking forward to this one!
I have fond memories of the old Sierra game (BB Pro?) with its simple graphics. That was a lot of fun. This sounds like it might add a similar element to the game. I was going to ask whether the framerate on my computer would affect the outcome of the play, but I figured I better hold my tongue... |

Too bad if you want more info on this game you have to go to the Matrix forums and if you forget your info you are SOL. Sent them a message at the end of last week about not knowing my info to login and I've gotten zelch so far.
