elrockinMT Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I used to play the Strat-o-Matic game years ago and really loved it. Some guys in school and my brother and I got together a few times a week and played against each other. Of course I was always the White Sox and my buddies picked the Twins, Yankees and Dodgers. I was wondering how many out there play this game, or similar games (like APBA) and what they think of them. I am considering purchasing the CD-Rom version. I know you can get on-line and play against others too. Anyone do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I played strat-o-matic! I rode my bike to my cousin's neighborhood on the other side of town to play everyday in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I've always been an APBA guy. I even went and bought the cards again after the 2000 season - guess why. Never played a computer version though. It was a good way to learn about great teams from the past, and what players could hit and run, that sort of thing.

SnB Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Wtf r u guys talking about? Is this PC games? yeah they're all PC baseball simulation games. Think of Allstar Baseball for PS2 with just simming the games. If you didn't look for 'em your not going know about 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Yea I like season ticket and Moguul 2003 as i have both of them . Only b**** I have about the games are it is way to simple to sign FA they should make it harder and also where certain guys wont sign with certain teams you know. That aside they are great games no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside they are great games no doubt. They could use the recruiting tools on the NCAA games for the Playstation as a basis for FA, and make it much more realistic. Have the teams they want to play for, and what they want. It could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 It is obvious there must be quite a few good baseball games out there either computer games or board games. The only games were the board type when I was playing them. I only knew of APBA and Strat-o-Matic board games. I need to ask you guys concerning the othe games that have been mentioned: are they based on statistics and the extras that Strat-o-Matic and APBA use? I might try a computer version of the games rather than the board game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Out of the Park, all players are given talent ratings, rookies will progress through the minors and depending on your minors coach, his rating will increase.

I am wondering if the main difference is the fact APBA and Strat-o-Matic in particular are based on the last years stats? They also have player cards and ratings from past seasons. You basically are playing in 2004 for instance with teams from 2003. However, you can do fantasy drafts, your own trading, etc but you are still with a past years stats.
