I'd like to see a promotion to incentivize existing customers to take on additional teams. I notice that people that left the game can get a promo to come back, but we owners sitting on teams in leagues waiting forever to fill up get nothing.

I've seen something new. When I click on player I can't see waiver status, or how many days before he's off the DL, contract status etc. until I hit the button Show Info. It's annoying, I don't like this.

At time of posting -- thirteen private worlds with openings; twelve public worlds with openings.

I was just told by Jordan that they are going to have some kind of special for Black Friday hopefully coming out today or tomorrow!

This game is so complex and visually outdated that I give the average new other 3 days before they give up and go back to PlayStation.

Yeah, not to start any arguments of any kind, but to say "complex" and "visually outdated", well, that's what a lot of younger folks say about baseball itself. And if you're playing PlayStation, are you even interested in baseball? That ship might have sailed two decades ago.

This is a good discussion. I used to play sports simulation games on the regular and I agree that this game and MVP Baseball have several similarities. Even if you compare it to more modern games like Madden or MLB The Show, it still stands up pretty well if you just compare the GM modes.

I would opine that the advantage that I would give HBD is that my stats and records are kept around and I can benchmark my success vs. other owners. I can also see how I have improved at the game over time. Whereas games like MLB The Show and Madden have a new rendition every season and the stats and records from the previous editions get cleared so all you have are faded memories.

I remember being fantastic at one of the Madden games back around 2003/2004, but I am not sure which one it was and they cleared the stats a long time ago. It was on ps2 with the giant internet adapter that had to be plugged into the back of the console.

I didnt know a game like HBD existed back then. I only learned of it because I started working a new job and one of my co-workers told me about it. If I knew this game existed ten years ago, I'd likely had been playing it much earlier. It's a great game, but I think it needs more marketing. I hope that once they update the technology with the new write-ups and work out any kinks that the new write-ups cause, they put some money into marketing.

The worst thing they could possibly do is clear old stats of the players, teams or, even worse, clear my user's records/stats. If they did that, they'd be killing their competitive advantage they have over the other products mentioned above. In fact, I'd bet if they clearly ccommunicated to the public in an advertisement that user, player and team records never get cleared, the true nerds will flock to it
