Hey baseball fans!
I'm proud to announce our biggest update of the year! Astonishing Baseball for Steam has finally received a big engine update. Which means better AI, better simulations, and plenty of new features!
This is the first of two major updates we'll release this year. Another big update is being prepared, and will be available this summer.
If you see anything unusual in this update, or if you have any suggestions, feel free to drop me an email!
Meanwhile, here's the complete changelog of this big update!
New features

- Players will now become friends or rivals with their teammates, generating messages from the bleachers
- Players will now send you message from time to time to share what’s on their mind
- Grades have been added to the lineup screen, to make it easier for beginners to start
- Completely revamped AI for free agents
Improvements and changes
- Bug fixes for international scouting
- Fully training a player will now give them a +1 potential bonus, if they still have potential left
