I won't say the beta testers failed (we all have different computers for example) or blame anyone else for the problems I'm having but will say the game is 100% unplayable right now for me.

I rarely post in this forum but am not a newbie and not a troll, been playing this game a long time and reading this forum a long time. Downloaded lots of stuff from it. I am sure Markus and Co. will straighten it all out in the end, there is no doubt in my mind everyone involved with making this game tried 100% to release a game free of major bugs. And it is a great game which is why I'll wait until the fixes come.

However, there are obviously problems (for some). I haven't even got to the AI stuff I'm reading about nor any of the cosmetic stuff I'm reading about.

But, I can say that every league (universe) I've started (10 including tonight) end up the same way - fatal crash. It remains a mystery as the only common thing seems to be that the crash occurs sometime between the 12th season and 18th season, not much to go on. Once the first OOTP has suffered an error must close box comes up you can replay from the latest save position and the crash will occur everytime until you give it up. Fictional players, minor leagues plus 2 to 4 international leagues is what the universe consists of, nothing fancy there. Have played out some games but mostly simmed the seasons. That is why I say it is unplayable = fatal crash 100% of the time. Never had a problem with any other OOTP game, so this is something new.

I have seen a few other problems, slow typing during contract offer time, during league/universe setup, lack of players in some int'l leagues (so you refill the leagues), silly trades, PBP is sometimes goofy to mention 4 but none of these make the game unplayable for me, they are bugs that will surely be wiped out.
