I think if WIS could make one of these games then they could most likely stay open longer and not close down for good.

i voted for college baseball...but actually my first choice would be a professional football based dynasty game

I like the idea of College Baseball, but I would rather have them add NBA to HD or NFL to GD. Plus if what I have heard is correct Whatif is low on staff...

If they made college baseball it would be very fun. College baseball just sounds sick with the playoff format.

I'd like to see a pro basketball dynasty game that carries on from/with HD players...never gonna happen, but I voted for CRD in the meantime.  Clutch Racing Dynasty was better before they updated/overhauled it though and teamed up with NASCAR Scene magazine...after that, the game was in the **** in my opinion...I think all of the CRD guys basically left the site, minus me of course lol

I completely agree that an HD-to-Pro would be a great add, but I have no idea how they would do it with so few NCAA worlds.

I don't think they're close to shutting down...people have been predicting doom and gloom for 10 years now...not gonna happen.

i would argue that they've been close to shut down ever since i got here (2007). in business, when you arent growing, you are dying, period.

I would prefer they spend time on the products they've already released rather than looking for new suckers

is there another simulation sports website that could potentially push WIS out of business...or are they just not growing?

How about one or all of the following:

Pro Rodeo - do I upgrade my calf roper or go for a top notch bull rider; my barrel racer is getting old but my clown wants to go to vet school

Bowling (5-man team) - do I want a left or right handed anchor man; my lead-off guy just broke his thumb and his backup can't break 190

X-Game Lawn Jarts - do I go for a better skilled trapeze artist or put my money into a phenom who can do a handstand and throw with either foot

Rugby - meaner is better, right

Tag Team Kyaking - better swimmer or better oarsman, it's a constant debate

i honestly struggled to see the game behind half those ideas myself... everything but college baseball, pretty much. i still cant tell if simulation golf was a joke :)

id be all for simulation world series of beer pong, though.

simulation back yard corn hole?? lord knows i cant play the real thing, much like basketball, so that might work for me

Well they are owned by FOX Sports now...the dumbest thing TK ever did was sell WIS to them, then they canned him pretty quickly.  I always say this is the best site that no one knows about...the marketing has always been terrible and I remember trading emails with Admin back in 2003 discussing potential marketing ploys/strategies.

I think the problem with FOX is that they only seem to use/try to use WIS to enhance their fantasy baseball and football, which are both terrible, so it's never really been a center-stage entity for them.  I think what we have now is kind of what we're damned to, especially in terms of playership, and it's a shame because I think HD is the best game in anything right now, period.  Unfortunately, I think today's kids (I'm 29, will be 30 in August) are so enamored with graphics, 3D, unlockables, gimmicks and gadgets (see all the odd and end nonsense that they've added to NCAA Football and Madden since 2005), that a silly text/strategy game isn't **** to them.

When I first discovered WIS in 2001 (my first user name was $$$ if curious lol and I signed up in Nov 2001 apparently lol) I realized that it contained/included everything I ever wanted to do with a sports game/simulator since I was about 5 years old...I don't think kids nowadays would have that same fascination...though I'll admit I'm a bit of a different cat too though.
