About Text Sims
Multiplayer Text Sims might not sound very fascinating, especially not today when EA Sports dominates the sports-game market with their wonderful 3D titles. However, there are good sized communities supporting games in several different sports. Solecismic Software has a wonderful title called Front Office Football, Wolverine Software has both a golf simulator and two basketball simulators. For baseball, there is Out of the Park Baseball and Baseball Mogul.
All these titles have support for Multiplayer Online Leagues. Some are flexible as far as league structure goes, some are not. Some allow historical simulating, while others don’t. They all allow people like you and me to get together and take the General Managers role for different teams in the same league however.
Make deals with other humans, lure that first overall pick from Joe in the corner in exchange for your aging superstar, sign away that fantastic free agent from under the nose of your best friend (and watch him laugh at you when said player goes down with a season-ending injury in the pre-season).
Sportsfans all over the world dream of being in the driver’s seat for their favorite team, and now they have the chance. You’re not on the field controlling your players every move. Of course not. They’re the pawns, you’re the king. You control the contracts and the playing time. You hire the coaches, the scouts and make the draft choices. You’re the boss!
