The download link is borked right now, but I'm hoping to get some play time in before I have to head back to class. This has the potential to be friggin' sweet.
My player's name is Sanjuro, if any of you manage to get in.
That does sound pretty exciting, and the link worked when I tried it. That MMORPG golfing that Penny Arcade mentioned seemed pretty interesting as well. I'm not sure I'm willing to take the time to investigate it myself, but I sure would be interested to hear what other people think of it.
Hey man. Anything that takes the potential of Shot-Online (the MMORPG golfing Poppinfresh is talking about) and removes all the korenglish is alright in my book.
Hopefully I can sign up now and then download when I get home. First base, here I come!
I'm registered, but haven't downloaded yet. So, who wants to make a GWJ team?
Ooh, me. What power hungry person is going to be our manager?
BTW, I'm downloading it now, and hope to give it a bit of play soon. I'll throw up some impressions ASAP.
Ohhhhhh baby. We definately need a GWJ team.
Did someone say manager?

I'm in. I'll D/L tonight.
I'd like to play first or catch, or be a closer. Can we pick positions?
I wondered what happened to this game. I am so down with playing. I'll DL it when I get home. Any team name with a combination of the words squirrel, monkey, semprini will get my vote. I call 3rd base!
Once I can detach myself from FM 2005, i'll sign up.
This is the direction that I hoped sports games would head. I would absolutely *love* a basketball game that was developed in this vein. However, it does not surprise me that there are a lot of difficulties in pulling it off. I hope to get on and try this one out in the next couple days and see how far along it is.
The batting system, if I understand you description correctly, actually sounds pretty cool. When you are really playing baseball you have to coil and prepare for a pitch ahead of time in order generate power. That sounds like what they were going for. It forces you to guess if it is going to be a fastball or off-speed pitch. I am sure it needs tweaking, but I think that once people get more practice and improve their timing, you will start to see bigger hits.
I was in the beta for this game a loooong time ago. I played a few times but it was so riddled with problems I quit (yeah, I know, some beta tester I am).
I'll have to give it another go...
Second Base. I call second base.
I have downloaded it, but haven;t had a chance to play it yet. Player name is MacLeod.

sh*t, we'll never see you, then. If you want, Pred, I can FedEx you my 12-step pamphlet from FM-Anon. Praise Jesus.
I just hit the Premiership with Wrexham. Overnight it, please.

Signed up as Duttyrid, look for me if you log on
Looks interesting. Don't know if I would pay to play it in that state. Maybe it's just because I was playing with chumps. Do we want to try a game?
I dunno. From Sanjuro's description... sounds eh.
Ooh, I pick first base, and if someone REALLY wants first, I'll make a speedy little shortstop.

You can be my... oh well, you know.
I'd love to get to Third Base if I could...
Wait... what're we talking about... a new game? Oh kewl... can I play third as well as get there?
must... avoid... "getting to first/second/third base" jokes....
To call this game a "Beta test" is a major overstatement. Alpha test at best. I played it for a little while last night, and it's pretty lame for the reasons Sanj detailed above. It has potential, but there's still a *lot* of work to be done. I can't see paying a lot for this game once it releases.
Yeah, I gotta agree with this game being *very* far from complete. The network code is abysmal and it is bugged to no end. However, it does have potential.
Also, I don't think that the hitting is as big of a problem as you said Sanj. I was able to rip a line drive over the first baseman's head that rolled all the way to the wall and resulted in a double last night with my level 0 player. But, this game is slow. It takes forever between batters. They are going to have to pick up the pace before release.

Really? I tested this game as well last year, or maybe even the year before that in its 'beta' stage.
If it STILL isnt ready, I would not hold out much hope. I mean, it is not like they have to create enviroments or mobs or etc.
That would be sweet if there was mobs. You could play the AI Yankees, and if you beat them they could drop the ultra-rare 'George Steinbrenner's checkbook' artifact.
Or even better, while playing the Yankees, between innings, you could rush up to the stands and beatthe fans up. That would be s...w...e...e..t!
That said, I'll probably be playing when I get home (in a half hour, around 4:45 EST). Anyone gonna be around to play a game or two?
Cool. I'll look for you on xFire. Do you... have... xFire?
