However, while your log is easily the more creative of the two, the fact that you're barely in June after almost two years hinders how great the log can be. To put that in perspective, you reached July in your Aliens log after just six months. Assuming you continue to do an in-depth update every game, I'm not sure you'll ever even reach the playoffs. One of the great things about the Royals log was seeing the team evolve from a cellar dweller to a World Series champion.


I agree completely.

However, the fact is, I'm too emotionally attached to this project to let the game play it for me. With the Aliens, I didn't really feel this way. Also, I had less of an issue simulating those games because the sim engine is much better and there's an option where you can just skip the game and go straight to the boxscore.

Also contributing are the facts that I was on a hiatus a while back and also simply that I have a PS3. Who wouldn't rather play a PS3 than a PS2?

PPFan, I really don't understand Jack's story. It seems kinda pointless. At the beginning, it was neat. Showing how his career was ruined and all that was pretty cool, but you just kept going, and I'm not sure why. I would assume it was because everyone else loved it, but I could be wrong. The whole crime part was pretty random, and was probably just one big reference to Ace Attorney for all I know. And then you got to the part with Sara, and that seemed so similar to D-Tiger's log with Matt and all his women problems. It just seemed like you were postponing the games as long as you could by providing a ton back story for a character that was never the focus of the log.

But... But... Jack is the focus of the log.

The crime thing was a great big reference to Ace Attorney, though, you've got me there.

Fixed it.

AgentP, I only have one gripe with your Red Sox log, and that's that you gave 90% of your roster A potential, so they're essentially all going to be superstars, and I suppose there's one more thing I don't like, you got rid of the whole roster except two players? Why didn't you get rid of those guys too? If you're going to make such a drastic move I think you should do everyone.

Really? I always thought the Knights were the focus, while Jack was there calling the shots.

Nope. Only the really old ones.

And I'll get to you D-Tigers :P Just have to do another game update first

(Also, my Pirates log is fair game if anyone is interested. I doubt anyone is.)

In my opinion, your Rockies log is one of the best logs, if not the best just because your updates have so much detail, there's always something that you add from around the league on top of the box score of your own game, that's really what sets it apart from other logs. Another thing, when you do game updates, you do the whole series where as other logs (namely mine) would just do one game of the series, then move on.

I like the Knights log, I think it is well balanced between the game updates and the very interesting story. :)

ChiCubsFan's Royals log was best log ever nuf said

Hey, the Massives log must've been perfect. :razz:

You were actually the main focus when I complained about overpowered teams. ;)

The Rockies were initially created to be a game-focused log (in contrast to the Gunmen) and it definitely surpasses the Gunmen in quality of non-story updates. I'm glad you like it, and I'll try to work on getting back to it soon.

Do you have a reason why it shouldn't? I have a couple reasons why it should, but I'm curious as to why you ask.
