Play Ball????
Play Ball????
Silly question, but how do you play a game in a custom league? We drafted last night and have a schedule, but now what? As the commish I can auto sim as much as I want but what if we want to play?

Re: Play Ball????
@PelicanCrew32 What do you mean by play?
The site allows you as the commissioner to Sim games when you want, or you can turn on the ability of your other owners to sim games as well in your league settings with a certain number of hours between games.
Regardless, the computer then Sims the entire game at that point in a matter of seconds.
If you mean that you want to literally go batter by batter and pitch by pitch with 2 owners facing off in real time against each other, PC does not have that capability (to my knowledge).
In this site, you develop your rosters and you set your lineups and strategy, but the site does not run a pitch by pitch, batter by batter, inning by inning game in a custom league or auto league setting. You CAN do so in your own personal Sandbox league, but that type of league does not allow for multiple owners.
I've seen some of your other posts and Im thinking at this point since you are newer to the site that you don't understand completely how this site is designed and what it is, and is not, capable of. Maybe @gbacci can give you some more info and understanding of what the site can, and can't, do for you.

There is a tutorial for commissioners available. I would have to look for it to see where it is. It's been a minute.

Re: Re: Play Ball????
Crap- but what about that Single Game Simulator? That is what we are looking for- why would you have that not available for a whole league? This site had such potential...

This site had such potential..... sorry Guy, back to the drawing board.

You can sim one game. In the commish tools on the far right is a sim game button. Click it and you have the option to sim multiple days, one day or one game.

Re: Play Ball????
yeah, I see the one game sim button, which makes absolutely no sense since ALL the games are simmed. Who cares who sims it. So no in game managing, pinch hitters, visit the mound, warm up the pen, pinch runners, sac bunts, steals....sounds like the only good thing is the draft. After that all you have left on here are trades. What fun is that? Nobody old enough on here to remember Earl Weaver or SSI's Computer Baseball?

Re: Play Ball????
Jim, It seems what Pelican is looking for is not just to be able to sim a game, but for the "in game" experience of being able to control and watch each batter hit, and every inning play out, as well as make managerial decisions during the game, but within the Custom Leagues.
That experience is only currently available to some extent in the Single Game Simulator, and the Sandbox, not the Custom or Auto leagues (unless Im mistaken).

See thread 2 down from this. I'm not sure but I think you can have 2 keyboards hooked to the same computer .

Re: Play Ball????
@PelicanCrew32 I guess "fun" depends on what you are looking for from the site.
The custom leagues allow you to design many different ways of constructing teams, rosters, league formats, drafts, etc., which allow for a lot of unique historical baseball experiences, but what they DONT do at this time is allow for single game, inning by inning, "in game" decision making.
If that is the main thing or only thing you are looking for, that's not how @gbacci has designed the site to work at this time. He may be able to give some perspective on why this is so or if there are any plans to change this.

Re: Re: Play Ball????
In a sandbox league you can play head to head , batter by batter , make decisions etc . but as I said before , the 2 mgrs have to be using the same computer so technically you could have a league with friends but you all have to be in the same room . I don't know how much coding it would take but maybe gbacci could put a link where mgrs put in their zip codes and be paired with others close by . Reminds me of when I was stationed in Germany in the 80's and almost everyone had a commodore 64 and we played micro league baseball .

Re: Play Ball????
you shouldnt have to be on the same computer. you can draft and everything else online remotely, same technology.

Re: Re: Play Ball????
@PelicanCrew32 live head to head is not what the vast majority are looking for, because it requires an inordinate amount of coordination for two people to sit down at the same for hundreds of games. So while I could possibly see a live head to head offering at some point added to PennantChase, it hasn't been anything we've focused on here. You might check APBA Go or Diamond Mind/ImagineSports as I think they might offer something like that.

Re: Play Ball????
Folks, we don't need a war of words here, Pelican was looking for something specific, no harm if this is not what he was looking for. I am closing this thread.
