Hi all I enjoy the baseball game a lot. The sounds makes it feel like a real contest. There's just a couple of things I noticed. First, I would like to make a suggestion, jim. When I'm having a practice round, don't you think it will help if the type of pitch throw is announced? If I know that a fast ball is going to be pitched, then I am just a little bit more prepared. Because currently I'm not aware at all which ball is going to be pitched, and then I am too slow if it's a fast ball, but if I'm warned beforehand then I will be prepared. Its just so that I can practice the different pitch throws better. During the real game its not necessary for the pitcher to announce which ball is going to be pitched, but in the practice round it would help if the game can say for instance the moment I press space to bat: A fast ball coming up, or a curve coming up. Because as far as I know, each of the 7 types of pitching makes a different tone so if I'm warned which type of pitching is coming up, I can better associate the tone. Let me rephrase this: The game asks me would you like to get some batting practice? press y or n. I press y. then the game say: press any key to swing if the bat is 85 percent from left to right, press space to step onto the batterbox. Then the moment I press space I would like the game for instance to say: fast ball coming up and then the sound of the fast ball. Then I noticed something very interesting. Well, first of all could you guyhs please explain to me how baseball actually works? Well I managed to win a game, rhinos 7 boles 2. but what is actually happening on the baseball field. What does batting mean? Is baseball like cricket? How does a baseball ball and a baseball bat look like? How does it feel like? Those pitching tones is really a funny sound, in real baseball are these sounds also used? What does it mean if the game says: there's 3 outs. Does it mean that 3 people get a chance to bat? In other words for each inning does the baseball team consist of 3 batters and 1 pitcher? And what does it mean if the game says: there's 2 basemen standing, 1 basemen standing, etc. After the game says: there's 3 outs. It sometimes say for example: 1 baseman left, what does that mean. What does it mean if the game says : the bases are empty? What does a base look like? Something very interesting which I have noticed: I can actually easily cause my opponent team to get 3 outs easily. I just pitch fast balls all the time. Isn't the manager suppose to judge the game? Isn't it cheeting if I only pitch fast balls, number 1? I have NOTICED THAT WHEN I pitch fast balls, most of the times the batter gets a swing and a miss and in this way 3 outs is easily reached. In south African rugby for example, rugby is almost like American football, there is a ref and he judges the game to check that no cheeting exists. How does baseball works? Is there also managers or refs that prevent cheeting? I'm just very amazed that I manage so easily to cause my opponent to have 3 outs. And I also like the commercial music in the game a lot. This is just my observations, but the game is rocking jim. I think ian humphries can learn something from you lol! Concerning your concentration game, I added a line to the .dat file: Braille monopoly game 75. do you think this will prevent the game from only sayhing: worth 75 dollars. Without saying the prize?
