Ok guys my post of strat vs ootp impressed me and I just purchased the 17 baseball version. I am about to DL it and I am sure I will be a regular on here. I will probably be asking Football questions very soon.

Since OOTP 12 I've probably put in close to 2000 hours in this franchise. If you're a pure lover of baseball, this game will consume your life.

Welcome!

Don't forget there's also a New to the Game area of the forums as you might find a lot of good info there about the nuances to OOTP.

Thanks for the welcoming. This game has so much to it , it is just fun to get a season and just play around in it. I am an avid stats lover especially for Baseball, to me there is nothing in the world of sports that compares to baseball stats..

Here is what 96 years of league history and the records behind them look like.

Welcome aboard.
