It was a big waste of money for me. I continue to play a ton of online 6.5 leagues though.
I downloaded the trial after the final version was released and I did not decide to purchase v2006 ata that time mainly because my v6.5 solo leagues were midway through the 2006 season (I play it realtime) and I was not happy with the conversion from 6.5 -> v2006. Now that my 2006 season is over (my team actually won for once - who-hoo!), I'm trying to decide my next move.

While I like a lot of what's in v2006 and the 1.0.3 patch sound slike it's stablized the game quite a bit and added some good features I'm torn whether I should stick with 6.5, migrate to v2006 to take advantage of it's richer free agent functionality (the expanded contract options were a big win for me) and ability to integrate my US and global league into one universe or if I should try and patiently wait for what sounds like the Uber v2007 coming next year.

If v2007 is as cool as it sounds from Markus' note, I too would pony up my $$$ early to grab a stable release in Feb or March.

Regardless, Markus and team, thanks for continued efforts on what has become my new baseball sim obsession.
