:D Thank you for this!......Makes a huge difference.
I have wanted this for many years and once even made a suggestion on this message board.
I enjoy this game at least 10x more now. Much more like when I played the game as a kid as experienced how the games unfolded, rather than just examine box scores.
I watch the games unfold without knowing the outcome. To do this I have to cover the scores with a pre-cut piece of paper that only expose the replay icon.
That's the only thing I'd add to this. A way to start the automatic replay of the 3 games without easily seeing the results first. But anyway I have my own method for now.
Replay Feature is Great!

reeally? sweeet. I TOO have to agree the replay feature is FANTASTIC ;)
First thing in the morning I have my big cup of coffee and start watching my games ... can't believe how excited i get sometimes. Justin Upton just hit 3 HRs this morning each time my team was down by 1 run and the last HR being in the bottom of the 11th 2 run shot to come from behind! i almost fell over my seat!! :O)

I am a HUGE fan of the Replay.
I get on my Long Island Railroad train, sit down with my coffee, open my iPad and hit the bookmark that goes right to the HIDE/SHOW PREFERENCES window. I hit "Hide," then open my account page and begin watching my four teams games at relatively high speed.
The BEST thing about it from a practical viewpoint is that it gives me an idea of how my pitchers are REALLY doing. If they are getting clobbered by rolls on the HITTERS' cards, there isn't much I can do about that . . . If every time a roll lands on the pitcher's card there is disaster, well that is another thing.
I do hope the new retooling of the site keeps this function as simple as it has been.

I'm the same way. I make my Keurig cup of coffee and watch my games while I am waking up preparing to go to work. I ruminate on my outcomes and second guess my lineups and settings throughout the day depending on the results. Sometimes a heartbreaking loss or crazy comeback victory can totally change my morning lol.
I love the replay feature and I think that is really what makes this game addictive for me. Without it I think it would be easier to quit cold turkey. But last time I didn't have a team playing I didn't know what to do in the morning and I kind of went crazy. I started pestering people in the forums to sign up for another 86 season so I could start playing again.

[quote:951319b797="toronto50"]wouldnt it be great if they could get Vin SCULLY to call the play by play???
bernie is a genius...but that wud make him the second coming!![/quote:951319b797]
I remember having this electronic game with lights where it was all announcing. You saw flashing lights and you had to press swing roughly when you thought it was getting to the plate.
The game basically consisted of listening to Vin Scully announce (I'm almost positive that is who it was but it was so long ago). It sounded funny when he announced the batter as that was just a pre-recorded name.
I had to look it up after mentioning it.
Here is the link to what I could find. This is the game I was referring to.
