Play Options
In the Basic Tutorial, we let the computer control everything
but the pitching and batting tactics. In this tutorial, we're going
to let you control these as well as set the lineup, substitutions,
and the throwing and running decisions.
NOTE: The throwing and running
decisions will only appear in DMB under certain circumstances. If
you have selected this option you will be prompted by DMB when, for
example, one of your runners has an option to try for third base
when rounding second. In defensive environments, DMB will prompt
you to make a selection such as throwing to second or
third.
To set scheduled game play options:
1. After you have selected a game day you can
click the button labeled Play. This will bring up a submenu
that will allow you to play the first unplayed game on the day you
have selected or any particular game you have selected.
2. For this tutorial, since we have not
selected a particular game, select Play
first unplayed game on this day. A window
will appear that will allow you to set some of the same options
covered in the Basic Tutorial.
3. Click on the Managers tab.
4. Set all of the options for the visiting to team to be
managed by the DMB computer by clicking the All
Computer button at the bottom of this
column.
5. Set all
of the options for the home team to be managed by you by clicking
the All Human button at the bottom of
this column.
When you are done, click the
OK button to go to the
Lineup Screen.
