Baseball Simulator 1.000

Typed out by tsrken@voicenet.com NES-UB-USA Culture Brain USA, Inc. Baseball Simulator 1.000 (tm) Instruction Booklet --- Before you start If you are loading your Baseball Simulator 1.000 Game Pak for the very first time, the screen shown at right may appear after you press the START button. This is not a defect in the game. Press the A button to clear the message and return to the SELECT MODE screen, then continue regular play. "BACKUP HAS FAILED. E 4'S ROSTER HAVE BEEN ERASED." "BACKUP HAS FAILED - STATS HAVE BEEN LOST." --- Baseball fans, get ready for the one baseball game that has it all! 1) Full editing for up to six teams. Play ball with your favorite major league stars, heroes from the past, fantasy leagues - even enter yourself as the star! Enter team and player names, and all the important stats for your very own team. 2) A complete, six-team, 165-game Pennant Race. Play a full length season with six teams, for 5, 30, 60, or even 165 games. Follow the teams and players through the season - monitor their stats, even get top-10 rankings in batting and pitching. 3) Fully automatic simulation. Simulate a full season based on statistics. The season can be played automatically, while you can enjoy following a team through its games. And by editing team and player abilities, it's a full-auto simulation game. 4) The hilarious features of Ultra Play. Add a whole new dimension of fun to baseball with the wacky Ultra Plays. Throw pitches that disappear or speed up in mid-air. Fight back with hits that explode or knock out the fielders. And catch them by leaping hundreds of feet in the air. With the six teams of the Ultra League, you'll play baseball like it's never been played before! --- When you insert the game pak into the Control Deck and turn the set on, the title screen will appear.

Each team has a certain number of Ultra Points. Each time an Ultra Play is used, a number of Ultra Points are used up. When all the Ultra Points are used up, that team will be unable to use any more Ultra Plays. The key is to use your Ultra Plays at the right time during a game.

For 1 PLAYER, select your team with the [I] cursor, then select the opposing team with the [II] cursor. For 2 PLAYERS, the second cursor [II] is moved with Controller 2. 3.

Starting pitcher Move the cursor up or down with the control pad to select a pitcher, then press the A button to display his ERA and current condition. Select YES to use that pitcher, or NO to display another pitcher. The first four pitchers are starters, and the last two are relievers. Relievers can pitch consecutive games without tiring. When playing in the 2 PLAYERS or SEASON mode, it's a good idea to set up a pitching rotation and consider each pitcher's stamina. [here's how -you- can tell the condition of your pitcher, based on the facial expression in his picture: -tsr] :-) <- In top form, and ready to pitch. * :-| <- A little tired from the previous game. :-( <- Exhausted from the previous game. * If the first-place team is ahead by five or more games, the pitcher may be exhausted even if he is smiling.

(The pitcher bats last; there is no Designated Hitter.) To change the lineup, select CHANGE. The lineup wil be empty and the player names will appear to the right. Starting with the first batter, fill in each position in the batting order. Then, assign fielding positions, starting with the first batter. To cancel an entry, press the B button.

Before each game, you can choose to have the computer play for one, both, or neither team. You can choose to play only those games you want to, and let the computer play out the rest. 4. With the EDIT feature, you can play out a full-season statistical simulation. (See P.32) Note - During SEASON play, the game will shot actual performance stats for each player. But unlike a "progressive" system, the player's ability is determined by the programmed or edited stats, not the performance stats. - Do not edit the statistics of teams that are currently playing in a SEASON. --- 1. Starting a season Select SEASON from the SELECT MODE screen. PLAY - To start a new season or continue a previously saved season. CLEAR - To cancel a season in progress, or erase stats from a completed season. Before starting a new season, results from the previously completed season must be erased. STANDINGS - To display team or individual stats for a season. Note: * Only one season can be saved, and each "Season Save" will clear the previous one. Multiple "Saves" are not possible. 2. Choosing a league Six teams play in a season. From the SELECT LEAGUE screen, choose the Atlantic League, Northern League, Ultra League, or Original League. If an edited team is included in a league, the edited team (and not the team that it was "edited from") will play. 3. Assigning stadiums. In the SEASON mode, each team has its own home stadium. The season schedule determines where each game will be played; the home team always bats second. Before starting a season, you can assign a home stadium for each team. To change stadiums, select YES on the CHANGE STADIUM? screen. Move the cursor to any team and press the A button. Then move the cursor to the stadium you want to assign it to, and press the A button. The two teams will switch places. Repeat the procedure for each team. Press the START button when you are finished. 4. Season length Choose the number of games in the season: 5, 30, 60 or 165. (The number represents how many games each team plays. For example, in a 5-game season, each team plays one game against each of the five other teams. In a 165-game season, each team plays 33 games against each of the other five teams.) After selecting season length, press the START button. 5. Manual - auto selection For each team, select MANUAL or AUTO with the A button. Manual teams will be played in person, while AUTO teams will be played by the computer. 6. The game display This appears before every game. The AUTO or MANUAL settings for each team can be changed for every individual game. If you want to let the computer play your team for you, or you want to manually play an AUTO team, you can choose to do so. If both teams are on AUTO, you can choose to WATCH or SKIP the game. If you select SKIP, the game will not be shown but will be played at high speed. All stats will be recorded and saved as in a normal game. The game will be a statistical simulation, thus creating realistic season stats. Note: If both teams are on AUTO and nothing is selected for a certain length of time, the game will automatically start in the WATCH mode. 7. Game results After each game, a television news display will show the score. Select STANDINGS to see the team and player stats. 8. Playoffs If the top two teams have identical standings at the end of the season, a tournament-style league playoff will be held. The play-off schedule is set up automatically and cannot be changed. --- Season stats Overall This shows how each team is doing in the league. G - Games Played W - Wins L - Losses PCT - Winning Percentage GB - Games Behind Team W-L This chart shows how many wins and losses each team has against the others. The figures are read across in rows. The upper figure is the number of wins, the lower figure is the number of losses.

AV - Batting Average RBI - Runs Batted In HR - Home Runs W - Wins L - Losses S - Saves ERA - Earned Run Average AVG (Batting Average), HR (Home Runs), RBI(Runs Batted In) The top ten hitters in each category, and their stats, are displayed. Wins, ERA (Earned Run Average), Saves The top ten pitchers in each category, and their stats, are displayed. Note * The Batting Average and Home Run stats that appear on the game screen during SEASON play represent actual performance and do not affect the player's ability. * Players must have a minimum number of at bats or pitches to place in the top 10 rankings. If a player with good stats is not ranked, it may be dur to limited play. --- The full-auto season With the FULL-AUTO SEASON, Baseball Simulator 1.000 lets you play out a full season statistical simulation. Using the preprogrammed or edited teams, you can play a season automatically, without the need of any input once the season is in progress. You can watch the games as they are "televised", or follow the teams and players, watching their stats through a season. 1. Start a season with one of the three leagues or create your own. Then, set all the teams to AUTO. All the games will be played automatically. 2. Do not edit the statistics of teams that are currently playing in a SEASON. --- Edit THIS FEATURE ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE AND SAVE UP TO SIX TEAMS.

Note: * If an edited team is included in a league, the edited team (and not the team that it was "edited from") will play in the season games. * To create a new Ultra Team, an existing Ultra Team must be edited. Also, since the Ultra League teams are much more powerful even without the Ultra Plays, they can be used to create especially strong teams without Ultra Play abilities. --- Entering stats BATTER STATS ARE ENTERED FIRST.

Then move the [II] cursor to choose the opposing team. --- Note - Some rules of play and statistical calculations in "BASEBALL SIMULATOR 1.000" may differ slightly from those of professional baseball. - If either team is ahead by ten runs at the end of an inning, the game will be called. - The teams, players, and other names appearing in this game are fictitious and are not intended to represent actual persons or organizations. - During SEASON play, if the top-ranked team is ahead by five or more games, ALL the pitchers on that team will be in "exhausted" condition. Even if their faces show them smiling, their energy will be low, so it will be tougher to stay in first place. If the second place team catches up to within five games, their stamina levels will return to normal.
