Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

So will we be playing a 162 game season based off the 60-game stats? Or will they really only give us a 60-game season for online? A 60 game season for the same price seems lackluster at best. Only slightly better than an "imagined" set. Just give us the cards and let us play 162.

MLB played a 60 game season so SOM may have a 60 game online season.

I've seen this notion posted previously and didn't think a response was needed. Why would SOM change a 20 year online tradition for a one year blip? That's a lot of unnecessary programming.

Of course the online game will have a 162 game season.

This is what I thought, but I kept seeing people post that it would be a 60-game season, which I thought strange as well. Also just occurred to me, that this would be the 19th year of strat online? I've been doing this for almost half my life. Weird.

Also, I see a lot of opinions on the imagined set. And I get the haters of it, but isn't it what they did with the Negro League stats? (Granted the reasoning was better)

So they did an OK job on the extrapolations I thought. At least with those.

I agree, more options are better.

To me the BIG question with the 60 game set is how injury ratings will be handled in a 162 game environment. If some type of adjustment isn't made to the injury ratings, EVERY SINGLE PLAYER in the 60 game set will be eligible for a 15 game injury.

I'm sure it will be scaled by the ratio (2.7) of games played.

When do you think the online game will be lauched ? For now, I can't have sneak peak of new cards. Last year, I believe we could see cards on the february 26th. The set was launched around march 5th.

My guess is around spring break.
Mid/late April.

Always follow the money. They will priortize getting the new cards out because that will increase revenue. I think the new season start time will be close to normal. Things like new ATG cards, well, that is not directly tied to revenue so that can wait.
