I thought there was going to be an option for running sims every 5 minutes or 60 games/hour. What happened to that?

I also wonder why not sim "on demand"? If every human player has made his "moves" then click a "sim" button. When everyone clicks "sim" the sim runs. I'm thinking here of playing solitaire, like the CD game, only online. Or perhaps, with 2 or 3 people only.

Furthermore, why limit it to just 4 hours a day once a week? If I'm the only one in my league, I want to play when I'm ready. And stop playing when I'm done.

I can understand that everyone wants to play in a league with 30 "active" managers, but really, there's only so much you can do with a financially challenged team like Milwaukee.

With 26 -29 robust computer opponents and 1-4 human opponents who come and go, blitz simming has some attractiveness.

Why doesn't the computer offer trades in the online game?

If the computer did offer trades I'm afraid the AI would offer me Rickey Henderson for Vladi Guerrero. I know when I try to work a trade I have to give up a lot to get something in return.

But ideally, I don't want trades from the AI anyway. I want trade offers from human players. But then, I was just offered Tony Gwynn for Mike Darr by a human manager so what's the difference, eh? :o)

Cheers,

LET'S PLAY TWO !!!
