Dynasty League Baseball Online Overview

The reason the game doesn't work on the iPad is due to Apple's decision to lock the iPad out from running 3rd party browser technologies like Flash and Sliverlight. There is no technical reason that game can't run on an iPad. Apple just won't allow it.

Yeah we got that. I don't live in a cave. Was more wishful thinking than anything else.

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.

Dynasty and OOTP are two completely different games. OOTP is a great game in it's own right, but for replaying seasons and such, it simply doesn't have the statistical accuracy and detail, as well as getting so many small details in to the game.

Comparing Dynasty to OOTP is literally comparing apples to oranges.

You must have been 2002 Anaheim against the 2001 Mariners. I was planning on playing (had the 1999 Braves), but the wife needed the laptop for some work so had to back out.

Yup drew a tough matchup. 2001 Mariners. He won the tourney. They lit up Lackey, and I waited too long to get in to my bullpen.

I see myself playing in many of these.

Meh, you can talk all you want about how this is unique, but at $150 it's way too expensive IMO. I tried the free demo and enjoyed it, but there's no way I could see myself plunking down $15 a month and getting my money's worth.

Diamondbacks, did you ever make it to the signup page?

Just from your description it doesn't sound like you did, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for letting us know!!!

It's actually a meaningful reply. If the guy who made the game and is responsible for pricing it and selling it is on here reading the posts (which he obviously is), then it's good info for him. I agree with statnut, it's way too expensive and I loved PtP. I also buy OOTP and I buy The Show and lots of other sports games. I'm interested in these types of games. I should be considered his target market or at least on the edge of it. I think statnut made a good point and I went through the same pricing decision as he did.

The two games that would come closest conceptually to DYNASTY League Baseball Online would be a combination of a multi-player game like World of Warcraft ($14.95/mo) and a Fantasy simulation like Scoresheet ($89 per season/6 mo).

Re: Dynasty League Baseball Online Overview

I just wanted to note that Dynasty League Baseball Online now has Greatest Teams Leagues, where you can select one of the greatest teams in history and play in a league vs. other greatest teams. Currently, 12-team leagues of 54 and 162 games are available.
