That was a good one that I had forgotten about. That was a good one.
I started my baseball "Sim" career back on Computer Baseball by SSI. Started out playing with some of the teams already on the game, which included many of the all time great teams, then we picked up the 1984 season disk. Eventually myself, my brother and a few other kids in the neighborhood would draft teams from the latest baseball magazine, I would spend hours entering in their stats and we would play seasons off that.
Spent a lot of time playing Micro League Baseball as well. I'm still hopeful that OOTP will one day have animated graphics similar to what Micro League had.
Then Graduated onto EWBB, loved the ability to edit stadiums. I had fun making quirky stadiums. EWBB2 was pretty good as well.
Front Page Sports Baseball by Sierra was the next game I played and I thought I was in heaven. I loved that game. It's too bad they abandoned their sports franchises, I really enjoyed them.
Then I moved onto High Heat, played in various online leagues with that game. During one my online High Heat leagues, a fellow league member had mentioned something about a game called OOTP and tried to convince me to migrate over there, but I didn't really put much stock into it, I mean how much better could it be than High Heat?
Well awhile after 3do ceased making the High Heat series, I was browsing around a game shop and I came across a box for a game called Season Ticket baseball. It was only like 10 bucks and being a baseball junkie, I had to try it with it only being 10 bucks.
The rest is history. Been hooked on OOTP ever since.
