Ok 1st before I say this, I tried this last year and it was a Disaster I got talked to by Steve for maybe breaking OOTP License Agreement, Then when I went to the HH forums for help nobody thought it could be done so after spending 3 weeks and pretty much figuring out both databases I stoped. This year though I really want to make it happen. Let me 1st say that this project isnt even off the ground just on paper, and also let me state if it was ever sold the money would go to Markus and if he wouldnt accept it I would purchase extra copies ootp.

Here is the Idea ( know remember this is not for just us here at the OOTP board it is also for all the dissapointed HH players)
If you like both games and love OOTP. This is the Program for you Imagine this. Playing all 162 games( or just the games you feel like button mashing)With HH 2k3 but then right after the game is done just importing that game into your regular OOTP baseball career. All stats would be just as accurate if you played it in ootp, all news articles would still work. Players would still get hurt, get hot get cold.

Ok so here is a rough step by step Idea

Step 1)create a OOTP internet league
Step 2)now min the game and load the program and create a new league ( this will write a hh sea file from the ootp league you just created
Step 2)start the league in ootp
Step 3)when its your turn to play your game min then load the program
Step 4)in the program load the league you created in step 2 and click refresh( this will refresh the league and update the rosters injuried standings, stats, and schedule for the next game
step 5) Click play game it will lauch HH with OOTP min and the other program still running
step 6) In HH load the league you created in step 2
Step 7) go to schedule and play the game just as you would if it where a hh league
step 8) at the end of the game save the league and exit hh
step 9) now click create import file
step 10) open ootp back up and click import and it will import the game

At this time you will not have
1) a OOTP LOG
2) a OOTP Boxscore
but you will have when you click box in ootp
a HH boxscore file with a game log in it


This is the main Idea, I am still testing this on paper and by manual hex imput. It works my goal is to make is as seamless as possible. I feel since HH is just about gone save the best attribute they have and thats the gameplay. Just so you know I dont know about selling it cause licensing issues but the way I look at it someone is going to be mad at me weather I sell it or not so I might as well sell it for 5 bucks then every 6 sold by a copy of ootp4.

Please give me some opinions on this,
Thanks
Matt
