Anybody have Diamond Mind Baseball? Topic

Was looking at it recently and wondered if anyone had it and what they thought of it.

I have a few friends who have been in Diamond Mind Leagues for years and seem to enjoy it.

I have the 2003 version.  Reminds me a lot of Status Pro Baseball with pitch counts.  I have really enjoyed it.

I have it. I find it vastly inferior to OOTP

But it does use real players

OOTP doesn't appear to be comparable to Diamond Mind. 

Diamond Mind you are the manager/GM.
OOTP you seem to be a player.

I prefer Strat-O-Matic over Diamond Mind. (I have played Strat-o-matic board game for probably 30 years and the sporting news version of Strat. I have played (owned) the diamond mind game and also played the online version of diamond mind(diamond legends) which no longer exists, I do not own the computer baseball version of Strat-0-Matic Baseball) I just prefer how the strat-o-matic game gets its results(R/L. Defense, etc, etc) in general over the Diamond Mind game

If you do buy Strat-0-Matic make sure to spend the extra $10ish dollars and get the card image, it will be well worth it since you can buy every season back to like 1850 and you can not add the card image later.

Also Strat-o-matic has a good fan site

OOTP you can be a GM. That's how I always play it. It's also WAY more in depth. I like hiring my hitting coach for all my low A teams.

Haven't played Diamond Mind though I did do some research and it says stats work out to be the exact, down to the last point when all said and done. Kind of takes the mystery out of it, eh?

Anyway, I've played OOTP since the original and like it very much.

OOTP is not a reply game like Diamond Mind or Strato, its closer to Hardball Dynasty than it is too a replay game.
