"Ultimate Baseball Online 2006" Announced for the PC
Real-Time, Multi-Player Baseball Game Lets US Gamers
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (April 12, 2006) -
Netamin® Communication Corporation today announced the latest
edition of the world's first massive multi-player online
baseball game - Ultimate Baseball OnlineTM 2006.
Coming on the heels of the first-ever World Baseball
ClassicTM,
Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 gives players the opportunity
to play sports gamers from other countries in virtual
competition. Ultimate Baseball Online is currently played
world wide, with large fan bases not only in the U.S., but
also in Canada, Japan, Korea, England, Germany, Australia,
and numerous other countries. Ultimate Baseball Online 2006
(UBO 2006) can be downloaded and played for free at www.ultimatebaseballonline.com.
Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 is a technological innovation
which lets sports fans and gamers play a virtual version of
baseball in a real-time environment on any PC with a
broadband connection. UBO delivers a first-person perspective
online sports experience as human players form team to
compete against other teams in real-time. UBO players can
compete in tournaments to win cash and other valuable
prizes.
In Ultimate Baseball Online, players create their own
characters, and gain experience for every game they play.
When their character "levels up," they get points that they
can use to increase their character's abilities in areas such
as running speed, throwing power, batting power, etc. Unlike
traditional baseball video games, UBO lets players play with
teammates - everyone sees the game from their own character's
first-person perspective. And just as in baseball, team
communication (team chat) is essential for success on the
field.
"Ultimate Baseball Online brings the 'team experience' to the
sports gaming experience," said Andy Wang, president of
Netamin. "A team of people playing against another team of
real people is a much different experience than one person
sitting alone in front of a console game playing against a
computer."
To ensure a true baseball player experience, Darrell Evans, a
two-time Major League All-Star ('73 & '74) and World
Series winner (1985), serves as UBO's principle baseball
consultant. "Ultimate Baseball Online, for me, is the closest
thing to being back on the playing field," said Darrell
Evans. "The mental part of baseball has finally been
captured. UBO will give players a great appreciation for the
fine points of each position, as well as an understanding of
the teamwork that is involved in playing the sport of
baseball successfully."
