Purchasearea...

I know where you are coming from. Always played Strat and always enjoyed PTP when it came out. Even did a little beta testing for Tom Tippett one year with PTP.

Upgraded to v8 with the pitch by pitch when it came out. It didn't click. I was helping a fella with pics for Strat version at the time that included player pics. It was great to see pics of Nellie Fox and Aparicio and big Klu when they came up.

Went back to DMB and looked with more patience and realized (duh) that IT was real baseball. I use pitch by pitch about 95% of the time. Can't get too many games in that way (sometimes I sim games from other teams to the 7th) but I don't care. It's real managing...pitch by pitch...I feel like I'm playing true baseball like I watch on TV.

Frankly, it's incredible to me. It never never gets old or mundane. Jack Wood's play by play is always fresh with new stuff every game it seems.

You will come to love this game even more as you see the top notch interaction on the forums and see more fully the game depth. Especially good at inter era play.

Best wishes on your new discovery.

DMB...ain't it grand!
