Long time since I last visited the forums.
I agree with Henry there. Time changes, priority changes, that made me pretty much forget about OOTP, except for one online league (V5) I'm in. Not high on the last iteration either, I must say. The game now requires much more time to be spent on it and, quite frankly, I'm not willing to give. Just wanted to point out a couple of things:
- About the eternal "no game is perfect": There are many, many steps between rawness and perfection.
- Online leagues: It might be of some interest to state that OOTP is still around, 7 years after the first version, thanks in no small part to the existance of those leagues, who spread the word when only a few knew about this game (which is sold online, for that matter). Should be wise to really have that in mind when creating a new version of OOTP. At least once.
Anyway, lots of luck to Markus and Co. I'm sure that the next version will be way better than this one. The foundations are there and he'll have more time to polish things out this year. However, this new OOTP is no longer a game for me. No fun in having a second job even to set a league and play online.
