Scrap that idea

So much for taking a default league, and editing down to 24 teams. I was just looking at the initial draft order and San Fransisco is listed four times, and some teams are not listed at all. Back to drawing board, I guess. Maybe it's time to realize that you can't have the best of both worlds, that you have to live with one of three settings in this game, and that none of them will create the perfect league.

It seems to be coming more and more clear that the baseball sim market for the pc is dead.

Yeah, it sure is. I mean, there are only 193 pages of users registered on these forums.

Yeah, and OOTP is clearly abandonware by now. I mean, when's the last time Markus released an update? Saturday? Christ, it might as well have been in the Mesozoic.

SpaceNinja, PotatoPeeler..... I have to say, those two posts are by far the funniest thing I've read all day.....

Of course, I've been reading deposition transcripts for most of the day, so the bar IS pretty low..... but anyway, those really made me laugh.

Nice to see that my dry sense of humor is not always lost in text. I can be a struggle from time to time. At any rate, I'll have to stop on by the off-topic boards.
