I hang out with a dozen baseball fanatics, one a former player, that purchase the game every year upon release, and continue our own online league. This will be the first year since OOTP4 that none of us are buying the latest release. Apparently, I'm the "go to guy" when it comes to info about the latest game, as I'm always on here reading updates, etc., and unfortunately, I didn't have a whole lot of ammo to give to my buds, and what was leaked, was very little to get excited about. It was a tough sell, that nobody was buying.
Now after reading the list yesterday, it is something to get excited about, and I know we'll eventually get the game, just not at this time. We're all still Ok with OOTP22. As all current or former business owners, it was very odd the way they rolled out this years release?

No head scratcher here. They released a good bit of info in the videos and on social media in the lead up. Certainly enough to build excitement.
Still left plenty of little surprises and new features to be found when you open the game. The way it should be. I can't imagine getting the game and not having some surprises. Be kind of like knowing ahead of time what's in all your Xmas gifts. Where's the joy and fun in that?
Excellent marketing strategy imo.
