  • The Annual 'Anyone Getting OOTP' Thread

    Like the title says, seems every time OOTP comes out theres a discussion on who's getting it and what not. I skipped last years, so im thinking about taking the plunge this year. Im hoping the 2 year gap will leave me with a better impression then just thinking i wasted $40 on a roster update and a new coat of paint as i feel with most sports games these days.

    From anyone who has it, wants it, hates: thoughts?

    I'm not buying this year. I bought it during a sale last summer, but I don't see anything among the new features that make me want to buy it, especially now that I'm not in a league anymore.

    Being in a league last year, however, made me realize how great FOF is. Yes, you heard me. OOTP does lots of things right in MP, but the actual game is more suited for solo play. Free Agency and Staff is just handled very poorly in OOTP for an MP-league in my opinion.

      It was either stabbing an eye out or buying OOTP 10...

      So now I look like a pirate.

        You need to set that steaming pile of garbage down and get your ass back to the IFL.....

          I was in 3 different MP leagues with 2k7 and i agree, it makes FOF feel so much better for MP. Also made me appreciate the IFL that much more as well.

          Anyways, i loaded 2k7 back up and i hope that will satisfy my baseball sim urge. There just doesnt seem to be too much of an upgrade - plus as a new PS3 owner, i think that $40 would be better spent elsewhere.

            I was thinking about getting one of the new gaming systems..but the 360 seems to be kicking the shit outta the PS3.....Considering the stupidly outrageous price, I wanna get the most bang for my buck. Why did you choose the PS?

              Can't speak for mor, but I sold my 360 and bought a PS3 for the following reasons:

              1 - Free online play (no need for Microsoft Live subscription)
              2 - I can play North American games (not possible on the 360 if it's bought in Europe)
              3 - I use it as a multimedia machine, streaming videos off of my network to the PS3, watching downloaded stuff on the TV
              4 - It's a hella lot quieter than a 360

                Was considering it. Then I saw your new logo.

                    I am a PS guy. I can't speak for x box, because I've never had one.
                    I do like the "multimedia" that PS offers. I stream my music and even movies to my big screen.

                      it came down to price really. while the ps3 has the larger upfront price, but when you throw in xbox live, hard drive, and wireless adaptor (wired not an option for me) and the ps3 actually is cheaper. throw in blu ray and it was a no brainer for me.

                        good point.

                        Blue ray was a big point for me as well

                          I have been playing around with Puresim Baseball the last couple days and I really am enjoying it.
                          Lots of fun, although the AI isnt the best. I am playing 1981 and traded Tony Bernazard for Jim Rice.

                            Was tempted to get it, but no desire to spend that on a game right now. Maybe if a bunch of people I knew started an online league, but until then probably not.
