    Ah, I see what you mean. You are looking more for something like OOTP. I am more of a replayer type based on actual season stats which is what Dynasty is. I haven't used it, but OOTP sounds like the best game for what you are looking to do.

      My favorite baseball game going back to PTP board game. There is no game with anywhere near the level of detail.

        Did you do a month to month or the 6 month subscription? It will be nice to have the 2010 cards available right away instead of waiting for them in the mail.

          I did the 6 month. We'll see how it goes. I think i am going to play in some tourneys soon.

          I LOVE the online version of the game.

            Yes, they have done an amazing job with it. I've played in some tourney's and it's a blast. They have about 20 new ballpark images for the older parks like Ebbets, Polo Grounds, Shibe Park, etc that they are going to be putting up here soon.

            When the GT leagues start it will be a lot of fun to pick a team and manage through a season.

              Thanks to you, I have been playing it for a while now. They really did a great job in capturing the feel of playing the tabletop game, yet still keeping it streamlined.

              I just finished playing the 1998 Playoff series with San Diego vs. Houston. Had a blast...

                Ya, I've played that 1998 playoffs and it was a good one. Brown beat Johnson in Game 1 (in real life that is still one of the most amazing games I've seen...I think Brown struck 16) and the Padres won in 4.

                I played in the Sunday Night Baseball League over the summer as we tested it the game out. I have the San Diego franchise and the team is really poor, but I have a lot of money to spend on free agents and I'm looking forward to next year already.

                  Yeah IRL Brown was amazing in that game. Gwynn also took a Randy Johnson slider that no lefty I have ever seen could even foul off, down the left field line for a huge double.

                  Guess what, he did it in game 1 as well.

                  Now if they could just get it to work with Safari on the iPad, I would be all set for sure.

                    Ya, if I could play this game on the go I'd be so unproductive...lol.

                      That's a good point. If I could play this anywhere, I would probably be divorced and unemployed.

                        Haha...I know what you mean! I just replayed the 2002 NLDS between Braves/Giants. All 3 games decided by 1 run...check out Game 2:

                          I just don't think with this price tag it will appeal to the masses. Even, if you do play a season, not many people play out every game, and I bet most die hard fans can get thur a season in less than a month. The tournaments are good...but for long term plus price...I can't see how someone is gonna put out $14 a month.

                          Don't get me wrong...the game is just great. I only wish OOTP had some of the tools that this one has. I could see myself playing this for many many years.
                          Yeah, wow. So, I downloaded the version and played a game for free. I thought that while it lacked some of the polish and options of OOTP, I liked it and would consider playing again. Then I visited today and realized that it's actually a subscription fee: $15 a month, or essentially, $150 for the year. Are you kidding me?

                          I think the product is pretty good, but when you consider that I can go download OOTP8 off their site right now for absolutely free (and probably find files with roster updates, mods, etc.), how would that not be a better option? Based on the visuals, etc., I had assumed that the whole point of this was some type of free alternative to OOTP (or maybe a small, small subscription) generating money off ad revenues or whatever. OOTP debuts at like $39.99 and frequently goes on sale.

                          And if you're a 360 or PS3 gamer, you look at the resources that go into something like Call of Duty: Black Ops or any of the sports titles, and that's $60 up front for something you can play by yourself or online for a full year (or even longer) for hundreds of hours. How does a 90's-era text simulator warrant twice as much money? I'm not so much mad as I am frustrated for them b/c they put all this work into it, and their business model is just so backwards that I fell like 10 people are going to actually pay for it.

                            Yes....I have OOTP. However, I only wished that OOTP had some of the same features as dynasty. Maybe one day, they will lower the price or have a pay to own feature.

                            Anyway...I can see how someone can get lost in this....It is truely a great game.

                              As mentioned twice before in earlier posts, DYNASTY League Baseball Online is totally unique from any other Baseball simulation with the real time multi-player leagues and tournaments that update the entire leagues stats, standings and leaders in real time. You can't compare it to any other Baseball simulation because there is nothing else like it. The main unique focus of the game is for multi-player live leagues and tournaments. You can also play solitaire as an added play format with any season in the DYNASTY League Baseball Library. The pricing model is very similar to other multi-player games such as Everquest and World of Warcraft.
