I have versions back to 14 on my computer. As stated, if you hawk space issues, no problem to delete. You do not need 18 or before to play 19 at all.

That said, a couple of reasons it can be fun to have earlier versions: 1) If I were Markus, I would give everyone OOTP 14 for free and tell them he will refund their purchase of OOTP 19 (or 20) if they don’t think the extra money was worth it. It is astounding to go back and see, then realize how fast this game has improved. I wish I could see the game back in the early days like 3/4/5. Wow.

2) If you like playing “slightly” historical, a great thing is go back to like 14/15/16 and set up a game, then use each successive one to get it into OOTP 19 with all the current features. You have the accurate coaches, contracts, etc.

One note, I do save all of the builds through each version. I guess it is completely unnecessary to do so, but I would highly recommend at least keeping a couple of releases back as they go through the first few months of builds this spring. Many, many times, I went back and reloaded those.
