At the end of the game, the only stat shown is a simplistic score box. There's no ranking system or standings board, no way to see how a player has done in the middle of a game. Its biggest problem is its inability to compare players.
I found the game's stat compiling, perhaps the most important aspect of any baseball simulation, lacking.
Also on the plus side are features like bullpen warmups, different base-running options, solitaire and no-play options, ejections, and rain delays. New teams can be easily made it took me just 15 minutes using the General Managers disk. MicroLeague does offer several other positive attributes besides being pretty. There's no variance from park to park, but this would take up memory and not allow for sophisticated play. Base runners actually run the bases, and outfielders run down flies. You begin by choosing which of the offered teams you wish to represent, which of the teams the Baseball Buddha will play, whether or not you'll use the designated hitter, who will be your starting pitchers, and who will be in your starting lineup. If you want a team with no weaknesses, try creating an all-time-great collection with Jim Palmer and Carl Hubbell as fifth starters, and Mickey Mantle and Stan Musial riding the bench. Those 23 clubs range from the 1927 Yanks to the 1988 all-star teams. Its three booklets describe methods of play and how to build new teams they also list the qualities of the teams included with the game. MicroLeague Baseball II attempts to fulfill the dreams of tired-wristed dice rollers. Perhaps most importantly, you can play alone. The computer changed all that by allowing random-number generation and sophisticated stat compilation.
Dice generated outcomes, and compiling stats took as long as playing the games. In the days before computers, baseball fans maintained their Walter Mitty aspirations with games like Strat-o-matic and APBA. Baseball, with its reliance on statistics, lends itself well to a computer-game format.
