I just wanted to let you know as a fan of baseball, basketball, and American football, I had the same reaction as you toward soccer at first. I was unsure what things meant and who was who. So I can understand your dilemma. quote:
But does the game help by allowing you to hover the button over the abbreviation and tell you what it is? I'm not sure if this is in 2007 or not, although as CaptSkillet pointed out, there are plenty of reference sites. If it makes you feel better, when I first started playing baseball text sims, I too had to look up some of the statistical abbreviations! And I had been watching the game since I was four! quote:
Also, is there a demo? And when is 2007 out (don't want 2005 if 2007 is round the corner) Not sure if there will be a demo this year. Shaun mentioned it, but I haven't heard anything more about it. 2007 is literally coming out within the week, so don't spend the money on 2005. Although 2005 is a great game, 2007 is not drastically different in layout, but added a tremendous amount of content and experience to the game. quote:
And....is the gameplay itself interactive? If you mean, can you manage a game by selecting options during it? Yes! You have managerial control during the game, so not for individual pitches (like whether to throw a curveball, fastball, etc.) but you can change you defense, walk the batter, etc. This goes for both sides of the ball in terms of options. I hope that you get a chance to check out the game. If you are worried about the amount of statistical abbreviations you will have to look up, this game will probably be your safest bet among baseball text sims. It is deep, but not overly complex, and the beauty is in the actual quality of simulation. It has more accurately portrayed baseball than any other simulation.
