My fiftieth of a dollar's worth... I have not played Action PC either. That said...Action PC looks extremely deep, statistically speaking. For a serious stat-geek, it must be a slice of heaven. For fair-to-middlin' stat-geek like myself, it's a bit over the top. (I mean, I love cheesecake, but I don't want to eat 6 of them in one sitting.) Mostly, I just wanna play baseball, not study the numbers for hours. I like Action PC including things like double-steals, rainouts etc, and I'd like to see these someday in PS. Action may have a slight--slight, mind you--edge here. Frozen notes that the marketing of this game is the century-old "Gillette Method," which is "Give 'em the razor, then sell 'em the blades." PS does indeed come with ALL seasons at no extra charge, as well as the ability to set up a whole fictional league (so you can have players like Augustus Rainbolt and Mohammed Culpepper! ) in less time than it will take me to type this reply. Honestly, I don't think I would invest 30 or 40 bucks in Action PC to try it at this stage of the game, so to speak. When I find something I like, I stick with it...which I guess is why my 33rd wedding anniversary is coming up next month, and also why I have stayed with PS for...maybe 5+ years now. Another poster described PS as "digital heroin" and that ain't far off the mark. Once you start playing, it's hard to stop. PS is deep, it's easy, it's exciting as hell (You will find yourself screaming things like "What is WRONG with you???" at your players, and your Significant Other will think you are crazy. But you're not.), and the man at the helm, Shaun, loves baseball like no one else I know of. Plus, the forum is peopled with intelligent and helpful lovers of baseball who wiill bend over backwards to help you get the most out of PS. As Winston O'Boogie once said "I hope someday you'll join us." You'll love it.
