I know SmallBall Baseball is very different from most computer baseball games. Of course we went out of our way to make it different but we also want it easy to figure out.

I'd love to know your opinion; was SmallBall easy to figure out?

Depends on what you mean. Learning to play was fairly simple but figuring out a team and becoming good is very hard.

That is what makes smallball so great! It's fairly easy to figure out how to play games, but it's a challenge to build and maintain your team. There are so many factors that determine how good your team will play.

personally, with the help of a couple of experienced owners, i found it very easy

I would say that in the beginning, before I understood how it all work, I was more focused on beating my buddies. They got bored with game and quit, while I continued to pursue what made everyone stick with it. By reading the Forums and the HP News and all those other websites, I started to understand what it was all about. Then, all it took was a nice gesture from TW. He gave me a trial DT and that was it. Once I had that and I could refine my training, my addiction was firmly planted.

I would guess that the only thing that kept me interested in the beginning was my love of baseball. When most every game nowadays has the user controlling the actual movements on the field, this was definitely some that is testing something other than just my hand-eye coordination.

It was somewhat hard for me...but if you exclude power hitting then SmallBall wasn't too hard. If you have good background knowledge of baseball then figuring out SmallBall isn't too difficult. There's still things that perplex me like (as of last season) my 3rd best hitter could only hit .300, when a pitcher is "maxed out" he'll give up a bunch of homeruns, how to make your hitters into HR hitters (thanks to the QT tickets I figured that out ).

I think I'm with Beaner on this one. The basics of the game are easy enough to understand but figuring out ur team...phew that's something different.
However the biggest challenge I faced in my 1 1/2 years of SB was/is to rebuild my Dragons into the 9* they were before my move to the US and the affiliated 3 weeks without training

i found it real easy.

most of my friends quit because of boredom but i was really into it.

there is heaps of help evry where and my team is 6* after just 20 days

[enigmatic]

Was easy enough to learn the basics. But I doubt I will ever learn about my team in the longrun. They seem like a bunch of slackers sometimes, and other times they play like gods.

I think I have the basics down, but now all sorts of questions rising. How to get better, and becoming in the leagues. Could anyone tell me how the top 100 of the Daily Star leagues are calculated?

With that comes that I'm from Holland and my Englisch isn't perfect, so sometimes I have problems translating and understanding.
