Gameplay

Due to a lack of licensing from Major League Baseball (MLB), the game features no MLB team names, stadiums, or artwork, and Cal Ripken, Jr. himself is the only non-fictitious player in the game.[1] The two game modes that are available are Exhibition and League. In Exhibition mode, players can select the field location as either domed or outdoor. Artificial turf or natural grass can be selected which affects gameplay, with artificial turf being faster.[2] Exhibition allows for single player vs computer, 2 players against each other or an entirely computer simulated game can be watched. In League mode there are 16 teams including the player selected team. If the player is in first place at the end of the league, they will enter the play-offs, and then have the chance to take part int the World Series.

gollark: You can just give it privileged access of some kind.
gollark: How Dockerious.
gollark: Wait, you run your Prometheus exporters in separate containers to the actual services?
gollark: Just have a script order more RAM when you run out.
