Markus needs to play...

I have been playing MLB The Show 08 since it came out and I already registered my copy for 09. The thing that got got me hooked was the Road To the Show part of the game where you create your player just like ITP. Markus should play this game for motivation and ideas. Implimenting aspects of that game, OOTP 10, and the original ITP... ITP 2 would be an amazing game that would attract a lot of people.

Role Playing sports game like road to the show, or EA sports Be A Pro and Superstar mode you really need to have a game engine with 3d graphics. It just seems text based sports RPG just come up short everytime.

In this case, graphics aren't everything. As long as there is a world that you can interact in, making decisions along the way, and keep you coming back career after career because of how deep it is... People would overlook graphics. Besides, ITP already has a small fan (maybe even a cult) base to it. If it becomes the game we all know it could, even the OOTP players would join in. Especially if you made it online league capable.

Shoot, if I knew even a spec of programming I would do it myself, but I just like all the others will keep my fingers crossed that someday Markus might look into it.

I think it has been proven that text based sims can be popular and even successful. ITP has the potential.

Thanks for the The Show mention, I'm going to check it out.
