Oh crap, I gotta keep up with all this stuff. So basically you will be competing against two other in football and baseball. Can't wait to see what your team puts together. With Icy and Shaun on your already talented staff, this should really make for some interesting games.

Shaun reminds me of a hollywood wife. What is this his 3rd or 4th company he has been with in the last 5 years?

Hopefully he can find a stable happy home.

This appears to be another great move for Wolverine Studios. Very interested to see what these two companies can deliver. It seems like a natural combination.

If the new game improves (greatly) upon Puresim's interface, I will be very interested.

Then you'll be very interested

Can anyone answer my question because I have never played Puresim:

How was Puresim at realistically simulating the roster moves, and financial situation of the MLB?

Thanks

My understanding is that PureSim is great for playing MLB and such alike. The front office isn't as good as OOTP I don't think, but only in the sense that if you like options, it wasn't as robust. I did enjoy it as a straight simulator of MLB without fake teams or anything like that. Statistically I found it to be better than anything out there, but it just wasn't really a game that lent itself to the imagination as much as OOTP or was chock full of options (that may or may not work) like other games.

The gaming experiences of the two are very different, then.

I just tried to fire up Puresim on my a newer laptop this weekend and couldn't get it to stop crashing with Vista. I like Shaun, and his games, and hopefully this will enable him to keep enhancing his title.

Here's a page on Shaun's site about running PureSim on Vista: http://www.puresim.com/vista.html

I'll do my best

Btw, I need to talk with more Gary and Shaun and we have been already discussing some changes, but once we figure the new interface basics, I'll also ask around to know what you guys like/dislike from Puresim and also other text sims from Wolverine and the competence, to try to please as much of you as possible.

Wolverine Studios is know for listening to their customers and i'll follow the tradition

Extensive hotkey support, please.

That cracked me up. Don't forget I have also retired and un-retired twice in that period too Hey, it's the life of an indie.

To be fair, I have been with Matrix for 3+ years, and I was quite happy. The Wolverine opportunity was just one I couldn't pass up.

Damn, I forgot the retirements! Good luck Shaun, I look forward to your new offering.

am I correct in assuming that we won't be seeing this this anytime very soon though?

I guess it depends on what you mean by very soon. If you're looking for something early on in the baseball season then I would say no. Shaun's going to take PS as it stands and decide on what improvements to make and in the meantime Ivan is going to be redoing the entire interface so its going to take some time. I don't know exactly how much that will be - that's going to be up to Shaun and what he can do with his schedule. The deadlines are completely up to him to set and as soon as we get an idea of when the game could be available we will let you know.

I didn't really mean early in the baseball season. I figured there was no way that'd happen. But I meant like I dunno - before the end of this baseball season I suppose. Gotcha though.
