So long, old friend

OOTP4, it's been good. But it's time for me to move on buddy.

Take care.

Oh, I thought you meant Rockze25.

crackpott · 02-27-2003, 10:28 PM

...that was my initial reaction too.

YoungEagle · 02-27-2003, 11:05 PM

I imagine most online leagues will still be in v4 for awhile

Steve Kuffrey · 02-27-2003, 11:07 PM

I think 4 of the 5 I am in will be switching within a month.

Actually both of mine will be using v5 by Monday.

Shorty · 02-27-2003, 11:13 PM

My league is too stubborn. I tried to tell them OOTP5 will be the perfect game with no flaws, but they wouldn't listen.. we'll be waiting til 2008.

Just kiddin', JBLers! You know your commish is the biggest fanboy of them all!

Cusefan95 · 02-27-2003, 11:18 PM

and your co-commish is the opposite of fanboy and wants to wait.

I heart shorty!

Shorty · 02-27-2003, 11:19 PM

LOL, ya bastard

Draft Dodger · 02-27-2003, 11:59 PM

as a non-beta tester,
I'm curious to see if there are any issues with league conversions.

weren't there some financial glitches in the conversion from 3 to 4?

crackpott · 02-28-2003, 12:10 AM

I think my league will be the first to actually SIM with V5. Monday @ 3:30 EST. We'll be close to first, anyway.

John C · 02-28-2003, 01:10 AM

We'll be switching right before the 2004 season...we're in the 2003 ABLCS right now. I think it's fate.

Peace
John

When I converted my OOPT 3 league into v4, every teams cash was set back to the where it starts when you start a league. (10 million? I think)

I also think the fan interest and market size stuff was affected, can't remember on that one, but the money I'm positive on. It cost me over 100 millions dollars.

WSR · 02-28-2003, 02:20 AM

I still have v3 on my system! Can't seem to convince myself to uninstall it.

JWay · 02-28-2003, 02:32 AM

I lost OOTP3 when I reformatted my harddrive.

John C · 02-28-2003, 02:44 AM

Same here, actually.

Oddly enough, I saw the original STB in a mall a few days ago, for $1.99. I wanted to pick it up, but my wallet was with my fiancee (no pockets). I went to go find her, and forgot about it until now. Bah.

I dont think i will be uninstalling OOTp4 anytime soon. The only way it will leave my HD is if my HD crashes...
