ORIGINAL: tsp813 for my dad for Fathers Day. My dad does not have the patience nor coordination to play the baseball video games that are out there today. Years ago, he played MicroLeague Baseball religiously. He has tried some other management baseball games in the past, but has found them to be too complicated and not really what he wanted. In MicroLeague, my dad used to customize leagues and take control of all of the teams. He would just pick one team to control each game. There was no worry about finances or ticket prices or any of the other 'extra' stuff that is thrown into games. I am left with a couple of questions. First, I am under the impression from browsing this forum that it is possible to take control of all teams in a league. However, the only way to actually play as one team is to set the other team to CPU before the game, and then set them back to Human after the game. I think he would be fine with this. But, is it mandatory that the player worry about off the field issues such as salaries, trades, etc? Can all of this be set to 'auto' or maybe even turned off permanantely? I also wonder about how much control a manager has during the game. With MicroLeague you controlled the lineup, pinch hitters, pinch runners, etc. When pitching you could pitch normally, pitch aggressively, pitch around, walk, etc. This is what he liked. So I wonder, is it more detailed than that (if yes, how so?), less detailed or similar? I plan to try out the demo to answer some of the questions myself, but won't be able to until I get home from work. I was hoping I could get some general feedback from all of you now. Thanks! I can't play video games either. They bore me after 5 minutes and I hate those silly controllers. I played Microleague (I knew Barry the guy who started it) and I enjoyed it immensely. If your Dad loved Mircoleague, he will probably like PureSim quite a bit. Can't understand why he wouldn't. Install it for him and get him a ready template -- he can then jump right in.
