Ultimate Baseball Online update

Netamin has announced that the initial phase of alpha testing recently concluded successfully. The test had more than 1,000 people log in and play multiple-inning nine-on-nine games of baseball, where every player on the field was controlled by a real person. Further testing will take place in a few weeks.

"We are proud to report that our initial alpha tests of UBO were a huge success, with the highlights including our systems' flawless ability to handle the server load and the strong graphics capability of our proprietary engine," said Andy Wang, president of Netamin. "Our participants, who are all baseball superfans, were also great in providing us detailed feedback on the title, and the only true concern was when they would get to play again."

Ultimate Baseball Online will launch this summer. For more on the game, check out our previous coverage or visit the official site.
