  I love the game. Some things I'm still learning but hope to do better.

  Beautiful, elegant, and transparent system that drives a highly-realistic in-game engine. This is not a GM Simulator. It is a baseball simulator. If you like having a tabletop feel with (just enough) PC features (such as incredibly strong league, team, and player creation tools) then try this out. It’s my new Strat-o-Matic! In fact, it’s the way that Strat should have been done in the first place. Again, it’s not an Out of the Park GM-style game (which is over-rated by the way, with poor trade logic**) - but does have a superior in-game engine that actually allows for you to see WHY things work as they do. **I’d rather have simple trade logic that works than complex trade logic that leads to broken games.

  Edit - I found my preferred baseball and have played many seasons as a GM and others as a manager. Baseball Mogul 2019 is what I have been playing. My rankings in baseball would be 1. Baseball Mogul of any year 2. Digital Diamond Baseball of any year and then3. OOTP of any year. However, all sports have become more interested in playing politics than entertaining. I stopped watching several years ago (despite formerly playing many sports and being an umpire) and now will not be making any further purchases of sports games based on real players. Fictional only with no license fees paid to real teams. I'll never play much simply because it's too complicated and has no written instructions as far as I can tell anywhere. It appears to be watch a bunch of old videos that are hard to see what is being done and use no speech. It looks like many hours to learn followed by many hours spent on constantly manually updating. I'll keep looking for a decent manager mode for baseball. For GM it looks like OOTP is the best so far which is great if you never manage and ignore the visual defects. DDB doesn't have to worry about visual defects as it really has no visuals. For those who have or have had OOTP and gotten rid of it be sure to do a search for folders on your computer for OOTP and delete all of them. It's amazing how much space that game can waste over the years. No other baseball has that problem. OOTP still has a problem in their hockey but nothing like what I found in baseball.

  Good things? Graphics are vastly improved though a little cluttered. P-B-P finally left the 1940s and are a little more to the point. I almost Forgot and I apologize. This gane without a doubt has the best TRANSACTION Database out here. You know exactly who is on your roster and on what day. If you do find a mistake Don't hesitate to let Support know and they will fix it Immediately. The Transaction database is far and away even better than Baseball-Reference it cannot be beat. I even use it for other games that I play. Middle of the road? Still need to work on Stat Package. Playing screen is just a little too busy for me but I can always remove items which is a good thing POOR: Customer service . Just so people know how much I like it? I have over 50 seasons either downloaded or I built myself using their V6 Instructions which work very well. I Highly Recommend this Game It still has a long way to go with their Stat Package but they're getting there I'm positive of that

  You can come up with various leagues matching different eras. It's kinda like Stratomatic where there's no fancy graphics and it's dice based. It's not intuitive but the developer responds on the forums. The forums aren't very lively as noone has posted in months but if you had a problem, the developer would respond. It takes a minute to figure out how to set things up but I got so tired of OOTP's ridiculous 3-D animations. I just wanted a straight sim and this game gives that to you. I think my biggest beef with the game is the way pitchers are handled. It's based on how many batters he faces, instead of pitch count. Like if he can only face 23 batters per game and he hits that mark in the 5th inning...welp, then his quality starts going downhill no matter how many pitches he's thrown. Pitch count needs to replace that system and have a way to see how your pitcher is doing and stead of OK and TIRED as the only reference.

  More simple to set up and get going than Diamond Mind Baseball and the bloated Out of the Park Baseball. Price is much more reasonable since you get like 100 seasons and it is easy to install new ones. However, if you already have those or other sims Digital Diamond V8 is a bit redundant. It's more Strat-O-Matic than DMB's raw stat processing power, and doesn't have the GM/growing universe like OOTP. Nor does it have personality/illusions of players being "alive" like Pure Sim had. No financials like Baseball Mogul. Not free like Strategy-Baseball, which has contracts. I was on the fence and played out a game to be my final judge. Could not swap a player from the bench to the starting lineup before the game. Only had four lineups to choose from based on LHP/RHP/DH. Screen looked too much like OOTP. DMB's window is much more cleaner. So I passed on the game. Bottom line is I have the other games (plus Plaay's History Maker Baseball tabletop) and I didn't see anything new to justify the purchase. Some reviews and discussion complain about how fielding is not taken into consideration. Yes, it is. Fielding stats are there. The engine is fine. The emotional criticisms are false. New game possibly coming out in mid-2021.
