Most of these are based off of impressions, and as a result may not actually occur. (Sorry no transcript this time)

OOTP4 still on track for a March 1 release
Beta has progressed, now small groups are working out the various aspects of the game
Financials are good, TV deals are still being worked on
Player History tracks, draft position, trades, releases, free agency, all star games, milestones, and player injuries, (and maybe more!)
Importing Version 3 leagues seems to lead to middling player ratings (for clutch, etc.)
Not sure if career minor league stats will be saved
Player fatigue acts to cut down on the PT pretty well. (Average starter gets 145 games, some get 162, and catchers a little less)
Argue Call option can result in ejection, but other effects still mysterious
Effects of hitter type ratings are still a bit unsure to some testers
Picture name formats now fname_lname.bmp
Free Agency is now much tougher, some guys won't talk to you at all from the start, computer and you have time for multiple offers, 30 day period.
Fan Interest based on Market loyalty and team performance (may show bandwagon fans)
Fictional Set of player images (by me) is done, work is ongoing for real player image sets and historical player image sets.
Photos are said to add much to the game!
No real show stopping bugs in last beta build... but work is still on going!

So who else is psyched for the release?

(Steve/Markus delete anything as you see fit)
