Minor Leaguer (Rookie Ball) Posts: 4 02/05/12 11:01 AM	Tags : None Not much information about this game, have to really look for it. My understanding is it's a baseball simulation game. How do you keep the game up to date during a season in real life? For example, if I want to project tomorrow's game. Is there any graphics or is it all spreadsheets? How do you play against other people? Is there any way to play fantasy baseball with the program? demo? Thanks in advance.

I'm not the best person to answer all your questions, but welcome! 1. I'll leave this one to others. 2. No animation, but the graphics of the game screen are better than spreadsheets, especially when using park images that are readily available. Hopefully someone else could post a screenshot since I have no idea how to do that. 3a. It can be played head-to-head over the internet. Lots of help is available here as to how to do it. 3b. No, it's not that kind of program. You can, however, play draft leagues or set up leagues with teams from different seasons. There is a lot of flexibility in that regard. If that's what you meant (as opposed to compiling results from real-life players), then yes. There's lots of guidance here on how to do those kinds of things. 4. No.

Minor Leaguer (AAA) Posts: 175 02/05/12 1:52 PM	OK, here is a screen cap I had on my computer. It shows the default 'game playing' screen as it looks with an 'added-in' stadium picture and no other tweaks. You can (and I have since I took this) change fonts, colors, etc. of all the screen elements. The original I uploaded is much bigger but I think Yuku limits the size of embedded graphics.

All-Star (Reserve) Posts: 630 02/06/12 7:35 PM	How do you keep the game up to date during a season in real life? For example, if I want to project tomorrow's game. DMB has offered a projection disk in the past which contained projections for all players likely to play in the current year. You could follow along during the season by manually entering lineups and making transactions. There would be no easy way to update the projections with some live data from the current year. I don't know if they have confirmed a projection disk for the coming year. It is much easier to replay a past year. The standard season from recent years contains all transactions and lineups so you could replay the season completely or make small changes (though the level of automation is less when you have made some changes to rosters).

Minor Leaguer (Rookie Ball) Posts: 4 02/06/12 9:26 PM	I sent you an e-mail. I'm guessing that everyone just uses the 2011 numbers to do the 2012 season projections. Is the schedule for 2012 included? I was thinking about using this for a fantasy baseball league.

All-Star (Starter) Posts: 2540 02/06/12 9:44 PM The Epitome of Infinite Benevolence and Humility	I've played roto baseball since 1986 and this is so far beyond that it's not even funny. That's a game. THIS is baseball! :) It's not about projecting stats, that's really not what it's for. What it IS for is proving how good or bad you are as both a manager and/or a GM. In this simulation, YOU set the lineups, the rotations, the depth charts and the bullpen and YOU decide which strategy to use, when to bring in a reliever, a pinch hitter, when to bunt, when to steal.... you name it. To get the FULL effect, join a league (99% of them are free) and see how you do as a GM too. Unlike fantasy, ALL facets of baseball matter... running, fielding, hitting, pitching. There's no demo, but there is a 30 day money back guarantee.

Minor Leaguer (Rookie Ball) Posts: 4 02/07/12 9:07 PM	So I picked the game up, and I ran into this problem. Look at the count on the bottom left, why is it jumping? This is the new version 10, season 2011 Boston versus Baltimore exhibition. http://www.youtube.com/wa...XX8&feature=youtu.be Is only letting you choose one tactic for the whole at bat? Last Edited By: enter 02/07/12 9:09 PM. Edited 1 time.

All-Star (Starter) Posts: 2540 02/07/12 9:26 PM The Epitome of Infinite Benevolence and Humility	Not if you're playing pitch by pitch, which you seem to be. You took the first 2 pitches and then swung away on the 3rd. each of those are a "tactic" If you want to bunt or whatever, just click the appropriate radio button. FYI, trying to work the count does nothing in DMB. From the old DMB faq: 2 How the Games are Played 2.1 Does it do me any good to 'work the count', offensively or defensively? << Example - My pitcher gets an 0-2 count on the batter. Does it do me any good to 'pitch around' the batter for a couple of pitches - hoping he will swing at a pitch out of the strike zone? Do batters swing at pitches out of the strike zone? Another example - Does it do me any good to take pitches, trying to get ahead in the count? Will some pitches be 'balls' if I take them, but possibly swung on if I choose 'swing'? If yes, can you tell me if I will generally be putting myself at an advantage/disadvantage by trying to 'work the count'? >> Trying to work the count will put you at a disadvantage. That's because the game already works the count automatically. Just as in real life, Diamond Mind pitchers expand the strike zone when they get ahead in the count, and Diamond Mind batters are more selective when they get ahead in the count. We studied a lot of real-life pitch-by-pitch data to calibrate this part of the system, and we have charts and tables showing the percentage of strikes thrown by pitchers on each count and the percentage of time batters swing at strikes on each count, among other things. These percentages are built into the game. To give one example, most of your hitters will take the 3-0 pitch anyway, so you don't necessarily have to give the Take sign to keep the bat on their shoulder. But you can use the Take sign to guarantee that they won't swing at the pitch. We don't recommend using the Take sign earlier in the count, because major league pitchers throw strikes over 60% of the time, and you're just inviting the pitcher to get ahead of your hitter or work his way back to a more even count.
