  • OOTP9

    Ok...so i'm throwing my hat back into the OOTP thing. Found this nice little Promotion/Relegation league that looks like alot of fun and good leadership. Fictional Players and an expansion league in China that has two spots left to fill. Anyone interested in getting in?

    Got a buddy in that league.. Gerry Geurts.. can't remember which team was his though.

    I won't be buying OOTP9 though.. not until the price drops in December or whatever.. matter of principle.. Markus is shafting us Europeans by giving us a 1 Euro = 1 US Dollar price.. doesn't make sense either way.. the regular price will be the equivalent of $59.. that's the price of a console game.

      Dumb question, can an American buy it and transfer his license to someone else? I'll do it for only a $5 markup.

        That probably wouldn't be an issue.. it'll just be a matter leaving a different email-address when registering (i.e. mine) and me paypaling the cash to whoever does it.

        I've talked to a buddy about it, but Markus' whole "DON'T YELL AT ME, I CAN PRICE IT WHICHEVER WAY I WANT" answer at the OOTP-board when several people questioned the price sort of pissed me off.

        Your offer is noted though, and if I conquer my pride before the pre-order deadline I might take you up on it.. we might have to discuss the markup though ;-)

                    out of curiousity, what kind of leagues do you guys prefer in multiplayer? MLB-replicas with real rosters/teams, or MLB-replicas with fantasy players, historical leagues, completely fictional leagues?

                        3 things got to me

                        -personally it felt like the talent pool was too small for the amount of teams. this put great players at a premium, and good players were grossly overpaid. i inherited a team with 4 huge contracts that gave me no room to manuver (and you cant just cut guys like football). one guy had blown out a knee and was nothing but a marginal starter, had a good but not great guy (ala derek jeter), an ok but not great guy (ala jason giambi), and a disaster (ala barry zito). with no manuevering, there was nothing i could do.

                        -i inherited the last place team on the 2nd tier. didnt get relegated the 1st season. again finished in last place. then got relegated. finished in last place on the 3rd tier. the tier's felt the same, the level play did not change at all.

                        -the league is fast and harsh. if you miss consecutive sims you get penalized. if you missed consective sims in the ifl (2 weeks) then thats wild. if you missed consecutive sims in wbh (monday and wednesday, or wednesday and friday) that can happen easily. to navigate the LOVELY ootp interface every other day successfully is quite the chore when real life gets in the way. hospital visits happen. overtime happens. traffic happens. REAL LIFE happens. sometimes i cant get to the sim, so why should i penalized, this is a game. this point is just my personal opinion.

                          I have been thinking about getting it. The wife owes me a birthday present since one of the ones she got me didn't fit on my feet and she had to return them. When she returned them she got herself some shoes. That isn't right to me.

                            So I was looking at the OOTP site thinking about pre-ordering it and a thought came to my little head.

                            One big reason I would like to get this game is to do some MP play with it, which I have never been able to do in the past because I was on the truck. My problem is that this game comes out every year, and I am guessing most leagues upgrade every year. I don't want to do that crap, buying the game every year. I would want to be in the league more then a year though.

                            I hate games that come out every year.
