For starters, it’s a port of “I Got It Baseball” (available as shareware for Windows), which is based on the Earl Weaver 2.1 release (sadly, never got released by EA 🙁 ).

Wills at the plate

Just a list of stuff in the game:

– full stats simulator that uses (what should have been patented) combination of statistics and physics

– several playback modes: old fashioned (Earl Weaver 1) overviews, multi-camera views and a 3D “Director”.  Can also play games in a few seconds with no graphics

– The sound of the crowd, the voice of the umpire, the crack of the bat.. right into your iPhone headset

– Instant replay (so you can watch how they pulled off that triple play)

– full box score results from games

– game will ship with old time allstar league

– game ships with 32 historical and fantasy ballparks (inside, outside, grass, artificial turf, green monsters, etc.)

– will provide soon (possibly by ship date) league files for many, many seasons.

– game features full simulation mode, YOU manage mode (your team vs. the computer “Skipper”) and soon to be completed, ACTION mode

– First version features a round robin schedule, but the full league scheduling capabilities are built in and ready to implement quickly

– Graphics are from the old days… some work pretty well, some need improvement.. if the project does well, I’ll upgrade to openGL

– The Commissioner/GM functions are integrated in… from granting a day off to viewing reports of both historical and “accumulated” stats

– It’s just plain fun to watch games this way!
