I use the computer version, but manually roll the dice and input the dice results. Strat-O-Matic Baseball is an awesome game. I see one guy on the forum I am in is having a double elimination tournament of only the best Pittsburgh Pirates teams of all-time.Īnother person is having a league with all the best teams from the 1980's. You can realign, make an alternate league, hold a fantasy draft for the season, switch certain players, etc. a real manager wouldnt have the benefit of knowing that player was a. Some people do a hybrid and base their early season moves on the prior season (a player may have hit. Or you can do a 'what if' season and use more input, change things around, change your rotation, etc. You can use an 'as played' roster set so day to day during the season, it will have the same lineups/pitching matchups as they had each day in 1987. I started a 1987 season replay and I am managing the Milwaukee Brewers from that season. There is no skill in the game other than managing. Action is described by text play by play. You have a stadium backdrop (which you can now customize), player photos, and a crude animation of a ball going in the direction it is hit. The possibilities are a lot more open-ended than video games, but it is more of a simulator. I recently got Strat O Matic baseball for the computer.

I ran a play by email dynasty Strat hockey league while in college for a few years. I played Pursue the Pennant and Strat O Matic Hockey as well.

I used to play it as a kid, through the 80's pretty much until I went away to college in 1996. Strat O Matic is the standard in baseball simulations.
