Hi everyone,
I just want to take a moment to mention what other add-ons are avialable
for Tony LaRussa Baseball III and how they are packaged together.
The Ultimate Utilities.
-----------------------
Are made up of a series of add-ons that are integrated together through
a point & click main menu. These include:
1 -The General Manager Plus utility will:
- Allow you to trade players from team to team, league to league
within a point & click environment.
- Create a new player by cloning an existing player
- Display individual player's real life and league stats.
- As well as change some of the player's attributes.
- allow you to SYNC an minor league teamset with your major
league one for player development.
- supports a "holding" team for free agents.
2 - TUTIL are a collection of programs designed specifically to be an
addition to the Tony LaRussa Baseball game. These utilties will allow
you to:
- Produce scouting, comparison, draft 0and roster type reports.
- Produce a league leaders report, check the standings etc.
- Keep track of your team's current win/loss streaks and
record against the other teams. Home/away record etc.
- Create/Modify/Report default lineups
- Adjust/Report on Player injuries.
- See what games are scheduled today and the scheduled starter.
- set up to 10 preset lineups for each team and dictate how often
each lineup will be used.
- use an 11 man pitching staff.
- set a 'spot starter' and assign pitching confidence levels.
- Print your teams line scores for the season so far.
- See how your team faired against other teams your league.
- a very flexible point and click ratings mass update program.
- a mass update utility for player ratings
- and much more.
3- League Scheduler (SCHEDULE). This utility will allows you to create
schedules for TONY3 in three ways:
- By hand, in a point and click environment.
- From a text file
- a variation of an existing schedule.
- not to mention the improved reporting and league selection
capabilities.
- has the facility to enforce your wish on day game or night game.
These together make up my "Ultimate Utilitles" collection.
Once you register any one of these, you are registered for all
and will recieve the most recent versions of them. I will also post notices
of any significant releases or updates. Typically the cost of the new version
will be just to cover postage & the price of a diskette, if you are unable
to obtain it from an online service. See below:
REMOTE MANAGER.
---------------
Designed especially for those who organize a fantasy baseball league using
TONY3. The remote manager will allow your managers to have more control over
their teams without you doing the work. REMOTE MANAGER will:
- Allow your team managers to change pitching rotations and
lineups, move players from the active roster to the reserve list
on their own computer. Your team managers can then upload a
file which you can process using your part the REMOTE MANAGER to
make their changes effective.
- allow your team managers can also change the manager
profiles.
- When used along with the my ENHANCED utilities, it will give your
team managers up to 10 lineups to use instead of the 2 limited
by TONY3.
- use an 11 man pitching staff.
- set a 'spot starter' and assign pitching confidence levels.
Computerized General Manager- RoboGM
------------------------------------
The Computerized General Manager is designed specifically to be an addon
for the Tony LaRussa's Baseball game. This modest little utility will:
- Allow you to negoiate/arbitriate trades with a computerized GM.
Supports modes of Human GM, computer GM, rightside GM and
arbitartor.
- Have the computer controlled teams trade with you or have them
trade with each other
- Support a wavier list and a place for free agents
- Allow you release players or demote/recall them from your reserves
- Sophisticaed Player Search facility, lets you create a list of players
you are interested in.
- supports and team payroll limit
This utility by far took the most effort to develop. Between the programming
of the computer AI which will take into account General Manager profile settings
for each team, to resoloving the player links after the trade has taken place.
The latest version of RoboGM, now makes sure that rosters are full, no pitcher
is in the lineup as a position player, all active bench players are registered
and available. The initial RoboGM for Tony2, only took care of the GM part of it.
Putting the player into the lineup or on the bench was the responsibility of
the manager. However, this caused some confusion and complaints about pitchers
batting and playing, say right field. This area has been vastly improved in
RoboGM for for Tony3.
Very few games allow you to trade a pitcher for a fielder. Boy, now I know
why! . RoboGM lets TONY3 do this.
