SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Strategic Baseball Simulator (SBS) is a character-based baseball program
which uses real statistics to simulate Major League baseball. Play
head-to-head against the Computer Manager or against a friend. Or let
the computer manage both sides and run an entire league schedule while
summarizing the statistical results. Includes data for dozens of teams
from the past as well as all teams from a recent year. Upgrade from
version 2.02
SUGGESTED ARCHIVE NAME: SBS25
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
IBM or 100% Compatible
80286 or better and hard disk recommended but not required

RELEASE HISTORY:
1988 - Version 1.3 - MS QuickBASIC 3.0
1990 - Versions 1.4 & 1.5 - a few bug fixes - flexible DH
1993 - Version 2.01/02 Microsoft BASIC 7.1 - Major Revision -
new features including large simulation capability, statistics
tracking, smoother interface, etc.
2.02 allows the "double-switch" maneuver and fixes a problem
2.01 had on entering an invalid stat file name.
1993 - Version 2.5 - Added scorecard, expanded statistics, improved
program speed, improved defensive logic, ability to save
season "highlights", box-scores and scorecards, platooning,
configuration file to allow "equalization" across different
eras, more old-timer teams, many other improvements.
FEATURES:
Lets you create your own "Field of Dreams". Not an arcade game, but a
character-based program that let's you pit your favorite teams
(old-timer or modern-era) against each other.
> Versatility
You can play against a computer-managed opponent or against a friend.
You can pick the line-ups and call the shots. But perhaps the most fun
is letting the teams play against themselves. You can simulate ENTIRE
SEASONS at a time while saving all the interesting statistics for later
examination! You can truly use SBS as a tool to test different line-ups
and batting orders for effectiveness. Discover which teams play better
"on paper" than they do in real-life (and what that implies about their
real-life managers!).
> Speed
An entire National League season for every team in the league (972
games) can be played out on a 25mHz 80386 in about 35 minutes. A 162
game schedule for one team can be completed in about 6 minutes.
> Statistics
Hitting statistics saved are: Batting Average, At-Bats, Runs, Hits, 2Bs,
3Bs, HRs, RBIs, BB, Strike-Outs, Stolen Bases and Caught Stealing.
Pitching stats saved are: Innings Pitched, Hits, Runs, Earned Runs, BBs,
Strike-Outs, Wins, Losses and Saves, Games, Games started. Errors are
also tracked.
> Build your own teams!
Lots of old-timer teams, including most World Series winners of recent
decades, are included. But you can also easily create your own teams
from ASCII text files. Just use the existing ones as models. Registered
users receive all major league teams for the preceding season.
Registration is only $9.95.
