So, the game is released and the great majority of people are enjoying it, that makes us very proud!

I'd like to fill you in on a personal issue today... the beta team is already aware of it, but I thought it would make sense somewhat to inform you as well because we are a community.

I have been dealing with severe stress-related health issues for about 1 1/2 years now, and it usually is worse shortly before/after the game is released. Unfortunately, medication doesn't do it anymore, so I will need to attend some sort of therapy to get better.

What does this mean for OOTP? First, do not worry, I won't be locked away

I will work on patches and updates just like always, but probably not 16 hours per day

The first patch is already in development, it will improve the interface (no more SISA default scout, and it remembers the preferred view on the lineups/pitching screen), fix bugs and facegen related issues. I guess we'll have it done early next week! Second, I will not be on the boards as often as I used to in the past few weeks. Third, the Cato-OOTP 2007 conversion will have to wait for a few weeks, but since I will code it so you can import your leagues history after importing it into 2007 itself, there should be no problem to convert your online league right now

OK, that'S what I wanted to get off my chest. Enjoy the game while I code the patch and try to get better!
