I started with the original, which was pretty raw and had some other significant issues which I won't mention, but we oldtimers will remember. I remember on that original bulletin board Markus requesting ideas to improve the game. At the time, I was playing APBA Broadcast Blast alot, and toying with OOTP here and there. The thing I liked best about APBA was the ability to import past seasons from the Bill James Electronic Encyclopedia and play out the seasons. So, I threw out how nice it would be to import a past season, but then have the game proceed in career mode with player development and add the rookies as they arrived on the scene. APBA was just a one season replay, no career mode. Markus pulled it off, OOTP was the first to try historical career mode and it keeps getting better.

I'm in a 6.51 league and a 2007 league right now, but have little time for solo play anymore, unfortunately.

The game has come a long way, kudos Markus!
