SimLeague Baseball owners,
We wanted to chime in today with what will become a weekly post regarding the SimLeague Baseball update. Consider this a "development blog". It'll include an update on where things stand with our re-design, discussion questions and occasional requests to help us beta test portions of the game.
First, an overview of what we're doing...
The SimLeague Baseball game you're playing today was started in 2001 and was written in classic asp and Visual Basic 6.0 and uses SQL Server 2000. It grew and grew and grew over the next 9 years into a mammoth code base in what has become outdated technology. This eventually limited our ability to add new features and make substantial improvements. So, we are rebuilding from the ground up in the latest tools and technology.
Our requirements and design process began in 2010 but was dramatically interrupted when we took on the task of re-building the fantasy experience on FOXSports.com. Once the majority of that was completed, we started back up in March, 2012 and created this forum.
In August, we began development and are now less than two months away from opening up sections of it to some of you in our test environment. Estimated release date on the main site is mid-2013. As we get closer, we'll define an official release date.
Is it safe to say now.........
THEY DON'T CARE!
