I've been unpacking and finding all sorts of things I forgot I had, and finding my old ps1 I found this game, which gave me an idea. After last week's news of Sammy's steroid use, I decided I should get to posting my idea.

It's not really about this baseball game. It was hardly playable. No, this made me think of creating a baseball game which was true to the experience. I thought about calling Jose Canseco to see if he'd put his name on it, but before that happens, here's the prototype:



STEROID ERA BASEBALL

GAMEPLAY:
Like most baseball games currently on the market this game has several layers of play. First, there is the traditional in-game controls, where you pitch, hit, etc. these would be pretty similar to most other games. It's in the larger scheme of things where this game differs.

Player mode:
Chose or create your own player. Work on their training, choose which drugs and masking agents to use in an ever-changing landscape. Out-do other players. You must do all you can to pass drug tests, deal with the media, mistresses and ex-trainers. Even face a congressional panel. Don't get caught or you're done!

Franchise mode:
You take the role of a trainer, working inside any of the major league clubhouses. Work the players, gain clients, keep clients, avoid letting them get tested positive.


All in all, its a baseball game that's also a strategy game. Get the right combination of drugs to make your player the best in the big leagues!
