Since their forum is blinkered, I have copied this post from Gary Gorski. Shaun's words are in red.

I have an announcement to make. After a great 3+ year run with Matrix, I have received a very special offer to join Wolverine Studios, which I have accepted. Initially I will be developing a title "Draft Day Sports: Baseball" which, at this time has no scheduled release date. I'm super excited about the unique opportunity to be a part of a growing company focused on sports sims.

So, what does that mean for PureSim Baseball 2007?

Nothing, business as usual. I will continue to provide support on these forums, and patches if critical issues arise, and Matrix will continue to offer PS 2007 in their stable of titles. I am very happy with the state of PureSim and with the patch released this weekend I am confident the game will be a great option to scratch your Baseball sim itch this season and beyond.

On a personal note, I'd like to first thank Dave and Erik from Matrix, who were incredibly understanding and supportive with my decision. You guys know how wishy washy I can be, imagine what it was like for them Truly classy guys, bravo. It has been refreshing to work with such a professional team of people at Matrix. People that genuinely care about their developers, which, in this industry separates Matrix from the pack.

Lastly, I want to thank the PureSim community for the great support you have given PureSim. You guys keep me coming back!

I'm excited about the expanded opportunities ahead at Wolverine, but a little sad to be leaving Matrix.

No, this is not an April fool's joke.

Regards,

Shaun Sullivan
Developer, PureSim Baseball 2007


As Mark pointed out - its not a new game in the mix. It's improving an already very good game. Puresim is incredibly underrated as a baseball sim and I think the new version to be titled Draft Day Sports: Baseball will only take the game to a higher level and hopefully get the recognition it deserves.
