Mark-- My question about playing times presupposed that all the games I mentioned--and perhaps some that I didn't--provide a good enough statistical simulation...
Hmmm . . . from a mathematica standpoint, it's likely that Strat or Dynasty/PtP/IBL will be more accurate than APBA for both batting and pitching statistics,...
I began tabletop baseball with the original APBA and have used SOM and Dynasty and Replay since then. I am bothered with the lack of realism in APBA when you ...
APBA baseball is not on a 1 /36 chances only, because when you go to the charts there are 42 possible out-comes although it is still 1/36-but I have played...
In my opinion Dynasty is by far and away the most realistic game out there and once you get used to the nuances of the game and how the charts work you can ...
Thank you so much for your reply. It was very kind of you. It helped a great deal. Have you ever played Baseball Classics? Again thank you for your help. ...
I have PtP, Dynasty and IBL. While IBL and Dynasty are very very similar, IBL is more realistic than Dynasty as it is more in depth and has more options....
Thank you for your response. I have toyed with the idea of Dynasty. I remember when PTP came out. Thank you for your time and kindness regarding this matter....
... Perhaps it's semantics, but IBL is about as similar to PtP as Dynasty is. Maybe they shared a common ancestor, but you cannot use PtP cards with the IBL...
I guess what I am saying is that since IBL is such an intriguing game and is possibly better than PTP or Dynasty then market it. It's free for a reason other ...
I have no idea what the motives of the IBL group may be. Nor do I have any idea what you are implying about the reason that IBL is not sold rather than given...
According to your (flawed) logic: Firefox is free, so it is inferior to Internet Explorer. What about the hordes of free software at GNU? Yahoo/GMail is worse...
your math is full of errors ... === message truncated === __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the...
You may have a point. However, it seems like if the game were sold as opposed to given away that there would be trademark infringements especially considering...
That begs the question, then: why hasn't Mike done anything about IBL or, for that matter, Triple Play Baseball, another PtP spin-off that is being sold for...
... Well, the IBL Game design team feels that their product is sufficiently different from both PtP and DLB that there are no trademark or copyright ...
I think that copyright or trademark issues would apply even if they weren't selling it. Mike Ciezlinski (sp?) is free to sue IBL if he wants to, and he hasn't,...
I don't doubt that it is a good product. In fact I feel just the opposite. I am intrigued by the enhancements you have made to the game. In the end it ...
I have never played APBA but it sounds like a good game itself. Maybe I'll give it a whirl. If my memory serves me correctly I believe it's been around even...
HI, HAS ANYONE OUT THERE EVER PLAYed BASEBALL CLASSICS AND IF SO WHAT DO YOU THINK. ALSO IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A FULL SEASON SOLITAIRE WHICH GAME WOULD YOU PICK....
I would choose DLB over Strat-O-Matic, although both are very good games. I have never played APBA. Tim Chase Home Phone (618) 345-4714 Email address:...
In my personal opinion, Baseball Classics is a game that is appropriate for kids in the 7-12 age range. Its simplistic setup makes it very accessible for...
Thank you very much. I appreciate your candor. How about the second part of my question. APBA, Strat,or DLB for a solitaire 162 game project? Pan Jandrum...
... This link may help shed some light on this discusion http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl108.pdf Without looking at IBL, but seeing the desciptions, I can see...
... If you're looking for speed, then I think APBA or the basic version of Strat will serve you well. If you want accuracy, then the superadvanced version of...
Personal preference is always a major factor in this decision. I've seen these discussions many times before and there is no single answer that fits. To...
each of these games have their niche. i've played a dozen or so different board games over the years. my personal favorite is Statis Pro by Avalon Hill. but...
