Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1

Strategic Baseball Simulator 4.8.1 is considered as a smart simulation program. This text-based simulation uses real statistics to simulate professional baseball. It's capable of replaying an entire league schedule in minutes and summarizing the results, or you can play a single game against the computer. It's easy to use and play, and optimized for fun and accuracy. Data is in ASCII for easy editing.

Major Features:

1. Versatility:
   • You can play against a computer-managed opponent or against a friend. You can pick the line-ups and call the shots. But perhaps the most fun is letting the teams play against themselves. You can simulate an ENTIRE SEASON while saving all the interesting statistics for later examination. You can use SBS as a tool to test different line-ups and batting orders for effectiveness. Discover which teams play better "on paper" than they do in real-life. Research specific matchups. Let's you make hypothetical trades to answer questions like "How would my favorite team [Royals] have done if they only had a bullpen?" Edit teams files with any text editor (like EDIT or NOTEPAD) and make "trades" to see how they would affect your team.
2. Speed:
   • An entire season for every team in a modern league can be played out on a vintage Pentium 200mHz PC in about 5 minutes. Newer PC's are much faster.
3. Statistics:
   • Hitting statistics saved are: Batting Avg., Games, At-Bats, Runs, Hits, 2Bs, 3Bs, HRs, RBIs, BBs, HPBs, Strike-Outs, Stolen Bases and Caught Stealing. Pitching stats saved are: Innings, Hits, Runs, Earned-Runs, BBs, HPBs, Strike-Outs, Wins, Losses, Saves, Games, CG, Shutouts and Starts. Fielding stats (Errors, Put-Outs and Assists) are also tracked. Some extended "stats" like "Runs-Created/27 Outs" are also generated in the stat report.
4. Build your own teams!
   • Lots of old-timer teams are included. But you can also easily create your own teams from regular ASCII text files. Just use the existing ones as models.

Enhancements:

• Version 4.8.1 features better pitcher management and stat reporting, team colors, added 2005 teams and fixed several glitches.

Requirements:

• Windows: There are two versions of SBS.
• • If you have Windows 95 or later you will want the latest version (4.8) which has more features.
    
  • There is also a version for older PCs (3.6) that only requires DOS.
