Anyone check this out yet? I don't follow baseball, but am curious if this is any good for those who do. |

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.

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.

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.

When somebody gets around to making Baseball Stars Online, then they've got my attention.

It would take Base Wars, Mutant League Sports, or Rollerball to get me interested in a sports MMO.

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. |

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)?  |

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!) and Shot Online being the first two that come to my mind. |

I'm talking like David Ledbetter's or Tiger Woods. |

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. |
