« Previous EntriesThe Pujols Factor, Portable Gaming, and the Draft
Sunday, April 30th, 2006 at 8:20 pmPlease do not tell me what this says about me, but I did not manage my Yahoo fantasy baseball team for the first three weeks of the season and managed to hold onto first place. Why? Pujols rules!
I did not know that Sony was still producing the PSX (I still do not want […]
Drinking the KoolAid
Thursday, April 20th, 2006 at 7:40 pmSeems that online baseball guru and IOSBL team owner Tom Montalto is enjoying the OOTP 2006 beta according to the latest OOTP 2006 blog. Tom was one of the first people to IM me that there was no way he was pre-ordering the game back when we both were, shall we say, less then […]
Chirping
Tuesday, April 18th, 2006 at 9:30 pmI’ve been hearing little birdies chirping in my ear this week about Out of the Park Baseball 2006. At first, they could only hint and nudge, nudge about their official beta tester status. It seems that the decision was made to allow the beta team to identify themselves as members, so now they […]
BM Demo Released
Saturday, April 15th, 2006 at 11:31 amThe good folks at Sports Mogul released a 30 MB demo of Baseball Mogul 2007 for your playing pleasure.
PureSim 2006 Release Date
Friday, April 14th, 2006 at 11:27 amIn a move to give those of us waiting for Out of the Park Baseball’s release at the end of May something to do, Shaun Sullivan announced that PureSim 2006 will be released the first week of May. Since external beta testing hasn’t started yet (or doesn’t seem to have started yet), I’m a […]
EA NFL Head Coach
Thursday, April 13th, 2006 at 8:28 amThere’s quite a bit of buzz surrounding EA’s NFL Head Coach. An interesting blog discusses various aspects of the career portion of the game and things look very interesting. However, it is an EA Sports product so there is no way I’m purchasing this until the many lemmings who purchase everything EA get […]
Championship Manager Patch
Thursday, April 13th, 2006 at 8:21 amThere’s some initial discussion about an upcoming Championship Manager 2006 patch on their website.
Another Patch
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006 at 9:35 amA new unofficial Baseball Mogul patch was released a couple of days ago.
New OOTPB Blog
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006 at 9:32 amMarkus took time from his busy schedule to post a new blog about the in-game screens in Out of the Park Baseball 2006. Of particular interest is the “SION” webcast view of the field action. Looks, very, very cool. Am I too old to say that?

Three Cheers for Chris
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 at 8:48 pmThanks to Chris for keeping the action fresh around here. Of late I have been doing everything except gaming and posting. I am not going to go into tons of personal details, but my dad is pretty sick, as is my geriatric cat.
I have been reading “Game of Shadows” – a fairly interesting […]
Just To Be Clear
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 at 2:09 pmIf you’re a developer reading this blog, I (1) do not accept free/press copies of games as I am in no way, shape, or form a member of any press and I can afford to purchase the games I want to purchase; (2) do not review games; (3) do feel free to mention good and […]
PureSim 2006 Update
Monday, April 10th, 2006 at 4:51 pmShaun Sullivan is busy getting PureSim 2006 ready. He posted a list of changes and tweaks in the forum. I’m not too thrilled about yet another game that simulates minor leagues and doesn’t force roster management, but it’s a step in the right direction. Will be interesting to take a look at […]
Text-Sim Tiers
Sunday, April 9th, 2006 at 4:15 pmBill Harris took ten or so paragraphs to say “don’t release games before they are finished” and “don’t bad mouth your customers” but was an interesting read anyhow. I would not put Out of the Park Baseball or Eastside Hockey Manager on the same tier as PureSim. I think both SI products are […]
Total Pro Golf
Saturday, April 8th, 2006 at 7:23 pmGrey Dog announced Total Pro Golf, a career golf sim that looks very interesting on paper. I’ll be curious to see if not being able to play the golfer on the course will be enough to keep people engaged. I’ve lost interest in golf games ever since EA Sports’ cartoony Tiger Woods Golf […]
