Newbie Question

Blue Crew · 12-20-2008, 06:59 PM

Hey Everyone,

This is coming from a guy that has NO clue about this game. I have played online sim sports, but never this game.

I am very interested in an online game.

Once I purchase this game, do I need to purchase it each year, month, week, etc.?

How many games are in a season?

How many days does a season last?

Is it a lot of work?

How many games are played per day (the sim one I play now is three games per day)?

I appreciate the help.

Thanks,

BC

One or both of your posts was moved here by a moderator, apparently. However, I will use this one to mention that there is no online web site playing capability for OOTPB (that is, logging on and playing live against other human players) unless I have missed something here. Online leagues are more of a download/upload files procedure with a commissioner running the actual game and either posting results on a web site or e-mailing them back to league participants. This page from the online manual will give you an idea of how online leagues work:

Thanks for the response.

I guess I was referring to the thread called, "Commissioner Corner." How are those leagues. I was wrong when I called it an online league.

Any thoughts about that?

Thanks.
