You know, with this new ownership and their mobile game/online play/microtransaction type business model there might be room for a remake of this game on mobile.
There are games like this in the Apple store and I actually own one called Footy Super, or Footysuper or something, where you're an American Football player. They've got another one for soccer and another one for basketball. They're like $1.99 each.
They're not really good games tbh, at least the football one isn't. The devs don't seem to understand American football and treat the college levels like English soccer pyramid tiers. So you can be 35 and still be playing at the Division 1-AA collegiate level, and likely you will be unless you pay up for some microtransactions to improve your player. But I did kill around 10 hours in it and it's fun enough to make different builds.
There's no baseball version, and if there were a baseball one I'd certainly have given it a shot. Would I trust these guys to do a good job and not have it be pay to win and not put all kinds of cheesy microtransactions or ads in there? No, I wouldn't. But I think there's a market for this particularly if it has the OOTP brand name and think it would probably work if they ever tried it.
Hmmm... maybe I'll take a shot at writing such a game if they don't.
