Raidergoo. I love ya man. But would that seriously be something the company would write on the back of the box as a selling point?

A lot of normal, everyday people who are looking for a good, solid baseball management simulation may not know what an "XML" or a "
WPA" is. Seriously lol.
However, I absolutely ADORE that idea myself!
