PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition is the ultimate baseball fan’s toy, with support for both casual and hardcore baseball fans and the ability to play out any season in baseball history.

David Heath, Director of Operations for Matrix Games, said, “We are proud to be able to enter the sports games market with a title of such excellent quality. PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition is the best all around baseball game we’ve played and has not yet received the attention it deserves. We are aiming high with this release and hope that baseball fans around the world will give this fun, powerful and flexible game a try.”

PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition allows you to choose how much you want to do. You can play out each at bat in every game or focus on the financial or statistical aspects. Creating a league can be as easy as a simple three step wizard and allows fictional or real players from any season since 1871 with PureSim’s integrated support for the free Lahman 2004 MLB player database. Career play allows you to keep going for as many seasons as you like. Multiplayer support is included, run an entire league with other players!

Shaun Sullivan, Designer and Developer of PureSim Baseball, stated, “I’m very excited about this release and all that it brings to the table in terms of major new features and improvements as well as a great new manual. I believe both current owners and curious new gamers will find a lot to like here.”

PureSim Baseball 2005 Gold Edition also allows detailed statistical analysis, allowing multiple replays for checking lineup combinations, a full almanac system and metrics, full player editor support and unattended simulation features. Every pitch is tracked, with reports such as Runs Created 27 (RC/27), Relative Batting Average, Pitching Runs, Park Factors, Defensive Independent Percentage, and more. Add-in support allows the creation of mods that plug directly into the game.

For previous customers, the new 2005 Gold Edition includes a number of exciting new features, including improved multiplayer support, adjustable ratings scales, a sandbox mode that also allows import of entire teams (pit the ’27 Yanks against the ’04 Red Sox!), performance improvements, non-US English Windows support and many more improvements and fixes, over sixty in total!
