Version 1.0.3 submitted!

By Eddie D., on April 17th, 2009

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.

EWB Baseball (iPhone) V1.0.3 into Testing

By Eddie D., on April 8th, 2009

I’ve dropped version 1.0.3 into testing… here’s the highlights!

Bullpen works!
LOTS of reports (both accumulated and historical)
Check stats during game freeze – FIXED
ballpark rendering errors fixed
team names fixed
defense incomplete/injured player replacement bug fixed
improved page titling on lineups (tells you which team is up/in the field)
bugs fixed (see THE BUG LIST page link at the top of the page)

Added bug list

By Eddie D., on April 6th, 2009

So, everyone can keep track of any issues and when they might be resolved… Link is at the top of the page. After adding the REPORT A BUG link (up top), I felt this would help… Also, should help deal with those that keep saying things in reviews like “lots of bugs” yet never enumerate them. There have been lots of helpful folks submitting bugs and I’ll be dealing with them as quickly as I can find them!

EWB Baseball – iPhone – Version 1.0.2 available

By Eddie D., on April 2nd, 2009

The product’s first update is out. Still a few vociferous nay-sayers out there…complaining about bugs… but with no detail (not very helpful!)… bugs reported here I’m dealing with (or have dealt with)… and, as I’ve said, with enough overall interest, I’ll continue to plug away at implementing the still-unexposed features of the engine and, eventually, update the graphics. The simulation comes first though!

Here’s what’s new:

– Full League (Round Robin) Schedule
– Reports for accumulated stats
– Individual Player Stats details are view-able on the players.. click on a player name in the lineup..you’ll see a STATS button under their name…
– Frame rate is a bit faster
– Check pitchers from CALL PLAYS menu (see if the catcher agrees with the pitcher’s self-assessment!)
– Pitcher count displays when you change pitchers in mid-game
– If you go to the lineup from the CALL PLAYS menu, you RETURN there after you’re done with your lineup
– REDUCED the memory footprint pretty significantly and improved memory management
– SAVE and RESUME games (SAVE from the QUIT/PAUSE button in the game, RESUME from the COMMISSIONER’S MENU)
– Updated score line at top of screen
– Manual/help updated at www.ewbbaseball.com/iphone-manual/

Reset App for 1st Generation Devices

By Eddie D., on March 25th, 2009

OK.. I figured out where, and how, to reset the status of the App so it will support 1st generation devices…. I’ve submitted to the store and we’ll have to see how long before it shows up.

If you’ve been getting the message “Not compatible” or some such, I would recommend re-downloading the App once this information is corrected on the App store listing… (you can say BUY again and it won’t charge you to download it.. it didn’t for me).

Posted version 1.0.2

By Eddie D., on March 25th, 2009

Thanks for all the feedback (positive and negative).. it’s really been useful as I try to get a quick update out. We’ll see how long it takes to get the update through the process…

Here’s what’s new:

Round Robin now plays all teams approx. equally to 162 games
Reports are starting to be implemented… accumulated standings, batting and pitching reports now work.
Stats details are view-able on the players.. click on a player name in the lineup and you’ll see a STATS button under their name…I have to fix the orientation of the display..but it’s a start!
Graphics should be a bit faster
Should run on 1st Gen devices… I cannot find any information as to this my app is tagged as requiring a 2nd gen device!
Can now check pitchers from CALL PLAYS menu
Fixed pitcher count display when you change pitchers in mid-game
If you go to the lineup from the CALL PLAYS menu, you RETURN there after you’re done with your lineup
REDUCED the memory footprint pretty significantly… should help with memory-related crashed (please let me know about any crashes)
Can now SAVE and RESUME a game (SAVE from the QUIT/PAUSE button in the game, RESUME from the COMMISSIONER’S MENU)
Updated score line at top of screen (so you can always see who’s on first.. I don’t know..THIRD BASE!)
