Didn't another company run WIS before Fox?
I'm a bit concerned since I'm not a fan of change. Hopefully. SIM Baseball will still be enjoyable. And prices wont go up

Really hope to see more players filling SIM Baseball leagues like the old days. Such a great community here, really want to see it succeed for the long run. I don't know what I'd do without WIS.

Great news. I see lots of pent up energy in your user community. WIS hockey has been bleeding to death for a decade or more since FOX took it over. There used to be way more users and regular updates. Hockey is loooooong overdue for improvements.
I think that's every sport

Yuhp, I wasn't here for the good ol' days of leagues filling up in under a day. I wish to experience that

Seble,

Congratulations.

About five? years ago, we were given the impression that SLB and HBD were written in a legacy language and/or DBMS. Will any engine adjustments require a big conversion to a new system? Or, was that just an excuse for not refining and readjusting?

Depending on your answer, frankly, I see a two major, very demonstrable, and crying needs in SLB (and I'm down to SLB since piling ludicrous sim dollars onto international and domestic free agents became the HBD "loophole" and it got so that it all played out a bit too predictably, at least for me). In fact, you may have read my crying about them in threads. One should be very simple to solve and the other, more of a challenge.

I would be eager to give you free consultation about this... when the time comes... and I suggest if possible JohnGPF, too, albeit, he may be much pickier. ;-`

exactly--I'm glad to know, as I suspected, that I'm nowhere near alone on this one.. ...because of the java thing, I haven't been able to play live sim baseball in years--and I was an avid late night player......and even the best IT guys I know couldn't fix it... ..I thought it was not only causing people to leave, but that the live sim was DEAD... ...I don't know who can still run it. ...thank you seble for your kind attn. when/if you have anything to say on the matter.

I'd like to add my voice to those asking that the java issue be resolved for live baseball.
i myself was able to overcome this problem, and live is alive and well for me.
there are two progessive leagues I'm in where most players meet the minimum every season.
But there are many long time
dedicated and loyal players who have been unable to play despite wanting to.

i think if the java issue is addressed, and word gotten out, live will be buzzing.

Java is pretty much a legacy language nowdays, if I understand correctly. It has been the feast of malware developers. Systems that use it have to be very carefully screened and scanned. (Of course, Deep State / Surveillance State has back doors for just about everything, in our increasingly technocratic existence.)

So, Live Play is another question of whether or not Hub will continue to support and refine, or regenerate it in different technology, or....

I did not take the time to read all 8 pages of comments so I apologize if this duplicates another post. FC Dynasty is a free game through WIS. Due to the fact that DC Dynasty is free, the sim is very basic and there have essentially never been any updates or enhancements, which is understandable. Does the new ownership have any plans for FC Dynasty? There is a strong nucleus of veteran players that I'm sure would be willing to coordinate with ownership and make recommendation for enhancements.

Thanks,

Deadruster
