To Buy Or Not To Buy???

[markus1310]

I am thinking about purchasing OOTP 16 (never played it before) and I have a few questions:
1. Do the logos (old and new), parks (old and new) and faces come with the game or do you have to go out, find them then insert them into a folder?
2. Do the logos and parks have a certain naming you have to follow such as yankeestadiumold.prk?
3. Can I have a team with say Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan both on the same team and how hard is that to setup?
4. Am I able to 'force' a trade to happen even if the other team says I am crazy?
5. How much different and better (or worse) is OOTP 16 compared to Puresim 6?
6. Is it really as realistic as I have been reading stats wise?
THANKS and any feedback is Much Appreciated!!!!!!

1. most can be downloaded through Add Ons central in game. Others can be found on the forum or on OOTPmods.com & whatever the OOTP Wiki is called.
2. for logos, jerseys and parks to load from teh game the would be labeled basically jerseys_chicago_white_sox 1987-1990.png caps_chicago_white_sox1990 -.png Busch_stadium.jpg
You can manually load all of these and they can be named whatever you want them to be.
3. Yes, very easily. You can manually import individual players so Ruth would be ruthba01,1927 or make a text file of many players (see attached) or play random debut and they may or may not come in at the same time or during one players career.
4. In Commish Mode you play God. I do it often in one league.
5. No Clue and I will never play Puresim to find out.
6. More realistic then any platform game and better then Baseball Mogul could ever have hoped to be. Depending on your settings Ryan may have 7 No Hitters or none. 5000 K or 1. Ruth in my ABF league has over 1100 HR. Ty Cobb is a career .419 hitter. In another league Shoeless Joe Jackson is a lifetime .385 hitter through 8 sns. which is comparable to RL.

As my wife's Credit Card would tell you, "Buy It" is always the correct answer.

With your question about Ruth and Ryan together, I'm going to guess you are a big fan of historical play.

If that is the case, there is absolutely nothing better. You can either import exactly who you want, or play them in a random debut setting to where players from all different eras get thrown together and fight for supremacy.

The greatest thing about this game is the customization options... there haven't been really any ideas I've ever had that I haven't been able to pull off in some shape or form.
