Russ BrightI actually DO make video games for a living and LOVE this idea, but there are 2 flaws
1. physics equations - how to make the deadball era TRULY deadball without accurate calculations is an impossibility. I'm not talking about stats, i'm talking about how much "pop" the ball really has, and how much it loses by being thrown over and over again. We don't have many of the balls from the era left and (since the new ones are so tightly wound) i don't know many people who would give one of their vintage balls up for testing
2. Again, great idea but it's just not commercially viable - We're working on some games for disney and have done some movie games (lord of the rings, harry potter, etc) in the past, and while it would be fun, not enough people would buy the game to justify making it. If i could get artitts programmers and devs to work for free on a fun projkect it would be great, but these guys don't work for free (lol)
good luck!
