It sounds incredibly interesting. I remember when I was a kid I wished there was a game that you could play Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, and Roger Clemens against Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Warren Spahn. Of course, I didn't know much about steroids then... Maybe that can figure into your new version? ;) I never read this the first time around. It sounds incredibly interesting.

I'm sure there are plenty more examples out there, we just couldn't think of much off the top of our heads. Fin_indie: I'm taking the evolutionary approach. The first version may not be very compelling at all because it's trivially simple with few features. For a baseball simulation game, I might not include in-game substitutions, pinch-hitting, pinch-running and things like that. In a perfect game features such as these would be in there. For a beta release, I'm just looking for the basics. As for the company I worked for, I purposely left that out. ;-) MossySF: Thanks, I’m a fairly surprised by that decision.

It's a tough line to walk because you wonder if it's going to be good enough if it's not perfect by your own standards. So the question is: What is good enough?
