Should I wait for OOTP2k6 to come out, or should I try PureSim 2k7. Give reasons to sway me. What's so great and fun about PureSim vs. OOTP or Mogul?

Status: offline 		That thread was pretty much a comparison of PS2005 to OOTPB 6.5.

There are also some more modern compare-and-contrast opinions in Player Card Changes.

I personally am planning to purchase both PS2007 and OOTPB 2006 - first, I want to support development in this space. Second, I want to be able to post informed things in forums. Third, regardless of who I may (eventually) come to feel did the 'better' job, I respect the amount of effort and work that Shaun, Matrix, Marcus, and S.I. put into all of their games - both teams deserve my money, in my opinion.

If the entire games industry had the 'get it right', 'customers matter', and 'game play over glitz' attitude that these developers do, I think I would like a much larger percentage of the games developed!

I tend to agree with this. I'm probably more of an OOTP'er myself (having found them first) but then I found Puresim and I plan to buy them too. I like text sims and they're both great takes on the genre. Nothing wrong with spreading the love.

Well like you said, Mogul sucks so thats an automatic right there. OOTPBB2006, IMHO, may have more features and more customability. However, PS2007 is coming on strong.

I still believe there is room for more than one sim and Mogul, OOTP and PureSim all have their unique charms.

I agree that there is room for more than just one baseball text sim but as you pointed out your opinon about Mogul (and I'll leave out Mogul after this last comment just out of respect)Mogul just doesn't cut it. I won't go into depth there becasue I just don't want to spend the time.

Shaun, if you want to make PS even better than what it is today, imho, the secret lies in what the mod makers create. They create them because they aren't either satisfied with what they have seen in a game, want more than what the game is currenty giving out, and/or they want a deeper experience.

As for your new almanac, I am not sure how moddable or customizable the pages are in terms of fonts, colors, ect...ect. I haven't bought PS2007 yet but I'd say allow for style sheets to be moddable so that the pages aren't always white and the fonts always a certain font. Again, this may already be in PS2007 but just in case T'm typing this regardless. Make the almanac deeper in regards to how many players can be seen on any given leaderboard. Like I typed earlier, allow the end-user to decide how many leaders he/she wants to see but since there has to be a stopping point somewhere make it 350 max or even 500 max. But just make it happen.


The play-by-play design, like OOTPBB, I'd follow the MLB.com Gameday design but allow for real/fictional fields to be shown and allow for player images (unlike what OOTPBB2006 will be doing).

I'l end it there because I gotta get some sleep but if there were one thing I would change in an update for PS2007 is to allow for more players to be seen on leaderboards, possibly making it even customizable (to a point). Secondly, again for the almanac & if it isn't already in the game) allow for the almanac to be moddable in terms of page layouts, colors, fonts, ect.

Just my 1 cent worth. ;)
