Title: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: Venkman on March 07, 2008, 05:59:54 AM Anyone check this out yet? (http://www.playrealbaseball.com/) I don't follow baseball, but am curious if this is any good for those who do.

I wonder if this is just the latest incarnation of that? I lost track of it a couple of years ago. Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: HaemishM on March 07, 2008, 08:15:30 AM This is just Ultimate Baseball Online skinned with Ripken's name. Unless the gameplay has changed dramatically from late beta when I played, it wasn't worth more than free, and wasn't worth free when you had good games to play.
Great concept, flat execution. Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: WayAbvPar on March 07, 2008, 09:37:51 AM Ah ok. I beta'ed it for awhile, but the improvements to lag and gameplay were few and far between, so I finally lost interest.
Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: HaemishM on March 07, 2008, 09:38:46 AM It was also very unfun to play with only 3 or 4 players per team and retarded AI shills in the rest of the positions. If I wasn't having so much fun with FIFA 08, TF2 or BF2, I might be tempted to try it again.

It would take Jesus himself, rising from where my people hid him, to come up to my door and threaten to hit me in the face with a goddamn cream pie to make me care about a sports MMOG. Unless it was made by Clap Hanz. And called Hot Shots. Ok, that last bit was a joke. Golf isn't a sport. Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: cmlancas on March 08, 2008, 03:59:13 AM Hm. Wouldn't a golf MMO just be super easy to design? Maximum of four players per "instance" linked together with a leaderboard and a general chatroom (clubhouse)?

Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: Falconeer on March 08, 2008, 10:10:27 AM Uh?
There are more than a few golf MMO, not so distant from what you mentioned (Pangya supports up to 80 in a single instance IIRC). Albatross 18 (Pangya!) (http://a18.ogplanet.com/) and Shot Online (http://shotonline.gamescampus.com/) being the first two that come to my mind. Title: Re: Cal Ripkin's Baseball MMO Post by: cmlancas on March 08, 2008, 02:27:26 PM I'm talking like David Ledbetter's or Tiger Woods. :awesome_for_real:

I would be interested in a MUDS, Brutal Sports or maybe even a Speedball MMO. I was looking forward to the Blood Bowl game until they announced it was turn-based. |
