College Baseball: Dynasty Builder

Welcome, college baseball fans and text-based management fans. Like you, I’ve always wanted a college baseball game to play.  However, that was not possible until now.

College Baseball: Dynasty Builder lets you take over a college program, recruit top talent from across the United States, and win a championship.

Features:

A very competitive recruiting model that the AI follows the same rules as the player.  You have to spend your resources wisely to build your team.

A fun and interactive postseason system that has conference tournaments, regionals, super regionals, and culminating with a college world series.

Very customizable allowing users to use their own logos and conference setups. The Discord will have logos and universes for players to download and use. You can get to the Discord from the main menu screen.

I try to respect the player’s time and the simulation time is extremely fast. To simulate an entire 56 game regular season schedule for 300 teams takes under 1 minute on most PC builds.

Stat tracking for season and career stats. Do you want to see which player born in Georgia has the most career home runs? No problem.

Transfer Portal is in the game to frustrate you like real life coaches! In all seriousness though, I’ve found that you can get multiple starters from the transfer portal if you target correctly.

A dynamic prestige system that works with your school attribute ratings to help grow your school into a place that recruits want to play for.

Also, High School Mode has been introduced. A tryout system is used instead of recruiting, and there is a unique playoff system that has champions for each classification.  The mode is still a work in progress, but I believe it is one of the first games that try to mirror high school baseball.  However, the simulation engine does not have substitutions or two way players, so it doesn’t completely mirror how high school baseball is actually played, but it can still be fun and a different type of game than the college mode.

What the Game Isn’t:

There are no 3D graphics or play by play engine.  So you will not have the opportunity to call the hit and run on a 2-1 count in the 6th inning.  I want to make that clear, so I don’t have anyone upset at me.  I would love to have a system in place, but as the only person working on the game, I had to make decisions on what could be done.

There is a box score for every game, so you can see the breakdown on how the game went.  However, you will not be able to watch the game "live".  For post-season games, there is a slow sim style of showing you the score after each half inning, to give you a little bit of a live feeing.
