What a blast from the past! It's been keeping me plenty occupied on my commute to work. It's also interesting to see how so many current baseball games have been influenced by EWB... Bravo! I love it! A modernized version of this game would be amazing. Here's hoping you do it. One thing I will say, and I remember this when I played the original EWB v2 on my PC, it seems there's a stat glitch: doubles hitters don't hit many doubles. In fact I remember I played an entire season with the original and hardly any of the players accumulated doubles that were commensurate with the doubles they accumulated in real life... keep an eye out for it... Also, my other critique: I remembered the physics were actually better on v 1.0 and 1.5 then they were on 2.0, and the same is true with the app. I really do hope you make a modernized, slicker version of EWB: modern gfx, physics, detailed ballparks, etc... but even if you don't, it's EWB baseball is still a boat load of fun... and it was so ahead of it's time when it was originally released. Thanks for bringing it back... Hi, Eddie

I'm sure there is, but I just can't find it. I want to see how is hitting well in the game or not (I know that when a batter comes up it show their batting stats, but I want to look over the whole line-up and what they have done.)

Your return is long overdue but very welcome. Now that there is an iPad, you really should concentrate on building the best baseball simulator for that platform. The screen is so much bigger and the larger canvas would be ideal to allow you to bring ALL of the great features from the original game to this platform, That would include the ability to created and edit player statistics as well. Since the iPad screen is so much smaller, editing stats would not be an issue as you feared on the iPhone platform. Also, I think the iPad's larger screen will do justice to your game. But you really need to update the graphics for the game. They do look so very dated. They still have that EGA/VGA look and feel that they were originally developed for. The graphics is really the only weak pont of the game today when compared to these other baseball games on the iPhone. DB Hi Eddie D.,

Even at the high price, the game is receiving a lot of criticism for not being competitive as an action or visual-video-game style game... I was hoping to keep the user-base focused on the simulation aspects by keeping the price up and that seems to have more or less worked... I may offer a pre-season discount, but I'm still just considering that. It’s a thought.. I’m not quite ready for that though.

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 03:23:10 +0000 http://ewbbaseball.com/?p=30#comment-155 Thanks for these notes... I'll ponder the one-pitch mode option to allow you to call a play.. it's a valid point, but only certain plays may be allowed at that moment.. but, for example, if the count goes to 3-0 with a poor hitter, might make sense to tell him not to swing! As for the fielder's choices (i.e. where they choose to throw the ball) and the runner's AI, I'm hopeful to dig into these annoyances later in the season.
