Ken's Korner - My view on the state of Purebaseball.

Posted By KenG

Tough year for me in the playoffs. Can't wait for next year.

Many people have doom and gloom on their minds, not sure why. We have such a small community here, its tough to compare this game with others.
We can compare it to previous years and see if things are better, the same, or worse.

Some topics and my thoughts.

Delays - The playoffs have actually flowed better this year than in the previous two years.

Trade Approvals - Trading was better this year with unmanaged trades for the first time. I would imagine that this could cause some delays, but well worth it for the oppurtunity to have more deals go through. I think more trades were made this year than in any other year.

Manual Interpretations - Not sure what problems with the manual there are except for some settings problems, which were corrected for the first time this year.

Overall Frustrations - Maybe its because I love baseball and statistics, or because I have a two year old that is amazing, but for me, this past year has been the best year of Purebaseball for improvements and support than any of the past 3-4 years(even while having a terrible playoff season).


Year in review:

We contracted, we had unmanaged teams that traded, we saw new programming(setting for the robot to play home games at a certain time), we see a price decrease coming in the new future, etc.

My guess is that we have approx. 200 owners. Each of us actually has input into what type of game we get to play, size of leagues, rules, etc. We rely on each other to keep the leagues going. Staying constructive without insulting, continued improvements are sure to come. I hope all you managers stay for even more years to come.
