How right you are! How good must a game engine be if all you can do is complain about such things! They obviously are only “little annoyances” but from my point of view, well observed ones. I noticed too that runners don’t move up. Also, what you did not mention is, that infielders too often focus on the lead runner and create a fielders choice where none should have been, as well. Fielders in general throw a bit too much at runners who are already safe and costing thereby an advancement of the runners, as you said in case of a single, but also many times in the infield. That always annoyed me! (Screaming at the screen: NOO, dont try to get the runner at second, go to first!!! Oh my god!).

Regarding the one pitch modus, your feature request could be tricky. As soon as you have the count, you already KNOW that something is gonna happen and you may decide your strategy on that fact alone, which not would be right. Well, it could be a foul ball, but in general, AFAIK, the count is calculated and the ball is put into play (or the k or bb happens). So when you have a 2-1 count and you already know the ball is hit in the field, would you still try to steal secont, or try that bunt? I don’t know, probably it would be best to go to full count, but that sometimes makes it a long game. Anyhow, like I said, good observations!

As many say, I was pleasantly surprised to see my favorite baseball game for the iphone. I really had no games on my phone until I bought this. I just went on a road trip and enjoyed playing the game when I had a bit of time. Anyway, playing the game has brought back a few memories of things I wish could be “fixed.” Maybe the best potential fix would be for those of us who play one pitch mode. Is there any way you can change the game to allow the manager to pick a strategy once the pitch count is known? I remember thinking this was a problem way back when. It would be nice to know the pitch count before I tell my guy on first to steal second. Other than that I do remember a few issues with base runners not moving up from second to third or third to home on balls hit to the first base side. And too many times when throws were made home and allowed a single to become a double. But all in all a great game despite these little annoyances.

You should lower the price to 99 cents just so you can get more people using EWB. Later you could optionally allow fans to add special features with the new in-app purchasing feature now available to iPhone developers.

You really should lower the price of EWB Baseball for the iPhone to 99 cents or at most $1.99. That price point greatly appeals to potential buyers on that platform. And you could potentially get many more baseball fans to buy and try out the product which you desperately need. We diehard fans who remember EWB from the 80s will but it at $8.00. But the new fans knowing nothing about EWB will balk at that price. Please introduce EWB to a new generations of fans by lowering the price ASAP. You will probably make more money, grow the fan base, get more feedback, and hopefully the new fans will give EWB high ratings to make it a a much higher rating baseball game in the iPhone App store as it deserves to be.

Long time fan of EWB for the PC. I would love to buy the app for my iPhone, but I wanted to ask a question first.
Can you create your own teams/players with blank stats like the PC game?
Thanks!

I am working on another release, though it’s pretty complicated… in the current version, you can play a round robin season and, the team you select as your home team is the team you can manage throughout that season. I did that partly in anticipation of the same feature for league play… I’ll include a modified version of the scheduler that allows you to choose (probably) number of games per season, inter-league play rules and control of “your” team rules.

As for league play options, I’m still scouting around for a solution to that for multiple users.

Enjoy!

Just downloaded the app last night-and I am very excited that this game is back, always enjoyed the pc game and have yet to find a baseball sim as fun. With this app I can now stop searching.

Will there be updates to the app that allow you to create 162 game schedules for leagues? Also, a setting to allow you to manage (1) team through an entire season. How about creating manager profiles and drafting teams?

I cannot access any leagues other than the 1990, 1991, and alltime…I have a iPhone 3G with the latest software upgrade. Could you please help? Thanks.
