Game Pulse: 1976 Season Set
Step into the year the Big Red Machine cemented its place among the greatest teams of all time. This set brings the complete 1976 professional baseball season to Game Pulse — all 24 teams, every player, and authentic ballpark cards reflecting the quirks and dimensions of the era's classic venues.
What's Included
All 24 team rosters with full player cards (position players and pitchers)
Every 1976-era ballpark, with ratings derived from period park performance data
New ratings built from the full 1976 regular season, LCS, and World Series
Card Generation
Every card is generated from actual 1976 season statistics. Batter and pitcher ratings are built from real performance data across the full season, with park factors computed from each stadium's run environment — so Joe Morgan's card reflects his second consecutive NL MVP, and Riverfront Stadium plays the way it played.
A Season Full of Legends
1976 was packed with stars writing history. Joe Morgan won his second straight NL MVP, with Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, and George Foster forming the core of a lineup that may be the best ever assembled. Thurman Munson won the AL MVP and led the Yankees back to the Fall Classic for the first time in over a decade. George Brett won his first batting title. Mark Fidrych took the league by storm — the rookie phenomenon who talked to the baseball, won 19 games, and started the All-Star Game. Randy Jones won the NL Cy Young. Jim Palmer won the AL Cy Young. Reggie Jackson, Rod Carew, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Mike Schmidt, Willie Stargell — every star's real 1976 performance is here, card for card.
Relive the 1976 World Series
Cincinnati Reds vs. New York Yankees. The Big Red Machine at its absolute peak, finishing off a back-to-back championship run with a four-game sweep of a Yankees team making its first World Series appearance in 12 years. Johnny Bench hit .533 and won the MVP. Replay it batter by batter, manage either side, or run the series a few dozen times to see whether the sweep holds or the Yankees find an answer. Every at-bat, every pitching change, every ballpark detail — all driven by the real 1976 cards and the roll of the dice.
A Cards and Dice Baseball Game
