One person has reported that they’re having problems downloading leagues (actually think he can’t download the file information for the leagues, so it kicks him back to the league selection page).  Anyone else having trouble? Looking for hints to the problem… I’m guessing it’s using the phone-Internet connection rather than a wi-fi connection.

Let me know!

Finally, (perhaps it was my email asking them what the story was?), version 1.0.4 is ready at the App store.. buy it or upgrade to it.

LMK what you think!

don’t know what’s taking Apple so long on version 1.0.4…

In Apple’s review “process”.  I’m putting the first set of submitted files on the servers today so if it gets approved (it usually takes about this long), these files will be available:

• 1927 season
• 1941 season
• 1964 season
• 1987 season (the year Earl Weaver Baseball for the Amiga was released)
• 2008 season

I’ve only checked to make sure that their formats are compatible.. we’ll provide a rating system later in the summer.

Thanks to all those that submitted seasons.. I’ll be getting them up and posted as quickly as possible.

Gonna submit to Apple this afternoon:

Downloadable stats

manage YOUR team during round robin play

expanded help

bug fixes for animation speed issue, bullpen issue, historical rosters and other report issues and, as always, obscure memory fixes.

Finally!!!  This was much more time consuming than I thought.

The main new feature is the ability to download stats files into the App.  Folks can create stats files using Earl Weaver Baseball II (yes, it still works!) or igiBall (found at www.bangbangplay.com … while it is shareware, the ability to create league files is in the free part).

If you want to submit created files, send me an email and I’ll arrange it.  We’re working on an automated system, but that may take a bit of time.  NOTE: be sure to create a schedule for your league files as scheduled play is coming in the next release.

Other things fixed include the Fast Animation setting on slower devices and many fixes to managing memory  in the App (which could easily have caused some of the crashes we’ve been seeing)

Yes, still working away on the next release… there will be the ability to download stats directly into the App… it’s close, but still working out the kinks… will be more news soon I hope.

There have also been a few bugs reported that I’ll try to resolve (one for sure, the Fast Animation bug that makes it impossible for users of older devices to play in Fast Animation mode and interact with the game-in-progress).

For those of you who have (slower) iPhones, you may be having trouble using the PLAY & MANAGE mode.  For now, you can work around this by UNCHECKING “FAST ANIMATION” in the SETTINGS menu.

Working on a system to allow users to create league (aka season) files and upload them here.

These league files will work with BOTH “EWB Baseball” (iPhone) and “I Got it Baseball” (igiBall) for Windows.

Users can create league files by using igiBall which can be downloaded here: bangbangplay.com for free.

I’ve submitted 1.0.3 to the app store…

Most of the reported bugs are addressed and I appreciate all the help and good wishes (several vociferous nay-sayers out there, but you folks here have been really helpful with both positive feedback and constructive criticism.

Next up:  Season play (including managing/playing YOUR team) and downloadable stats/seasons.
