It's logical to assume that if you were somehow able to go back in time to Opening Day and play the same season with the same players and teams, you would necessarily get somewhat different results. External factors and intangibles affect player and team performance in ways that are unforeseen, uncontrollable and often to a large degree, random. A baseball season always looks somewhat different in the rear-view mirror at World Series time than it did looking ahead on Opening Day.
So instead, we focused on designing a game that offers a number of dimensions of big league baseball that other games don't attempt to capture, and a premise that is somewhat different than purely stat-driven baseball sims.Įvery professional sports campaign contains an element of surprise.
It didn't make sense to try to 're-invent the wheel' when these games have loyal, satisfied devotees who have built large libraries of past season card sets. There are a number of award-winning table top baseball simulation games out there, many of them have had established followings for 30 years or more. We chose the name HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL because it captures what this game is all about.
