Wanted to post an update on Version 1.2...I'm currently working on updating NPB salaries and payrolls, and adding coaches for NPB and NPB Ni-Gun teams. Also, I will update each teams transactions to reflect the date the updated version is released. Lastly, look out for the independent players photo pack very soon.

Also, I ran some tests yesterday, the game worked perfectly...took about 25 minutes to do a one year sim. A few things I noticed:

1.) A realistic number of college players signed on with the independent league teams...these players were undrafted by MLB organizations. Very good to see.

2.) A realistic number of former MLB farm hands signed on with independent teams. I'd like to see a few more, but I'm happy with the results thus far.

3.) Too many Japanese players are going from the NPB Ni-Gun to the MLB minor leagues...don't really know a solution to this problem. They are only being offered minor league contracts. Too many North American minor league free agents are going from MLB minor leagues to NPB. I wish foreigner restrictions applied to secondary or reserve rosters.

4.) A realistic number of former independent league players are making the transition into organized ball. I found 3-4 former indie league players on MLB AAA ball clubs. This is very cool. I'll see if any make the MLB roster in the new few years.

I highly encourage anyone who downloads the BETA, to make sure they are playing with 9.2.13 of the game. The BETA was created using this, and it will probably help avoid any ugly crashes.

I also would like to hear more feedback...and constructive criticism.

Lastly, can anyone please help in re-rating KBO, CPBL, or independent league players?
