The Ultimate Wish List

Muzamba · 08-14-2003, 03:57 AM

And now, a little something from a guy who has WAY too much time on his hands...

I started working on this a LONG time ago, back before OOTP5 was released. I just now got around to finishing it.

This is my grandiose vision of how OOTP should look and what it should do. Hopefully, it will give you an idea of what certain popular (and not so popular) features might actually LOOK like in the game. I have altered images from the game to reflect my own idea of how it could look. (However, I acknowledge all images to be the copyrighted property of Markus Heinsohn.)

Anyway... if you have an hour to spare, take a look...

My OOTP Ideas

Thanks.

Muzamba · 08-14-2003, 04:19 AM

Thank you... Just fixed it.

Kelric · 08-14-2003, 04:28 AM

Markus, add him to the payroll.

Darkheath · 08-14-2003, 04:34 AM

wow...

It's going to take me a while to just read thru this!

The little I've read... I really like. Amazing...!

Skipaway · 08-14-2003, 05:54 AM

Move it to the suggestion and wish list page and a sticky?
Maybe Markus' projected OOTP6 features should be a sticky over there instead also.

Henry · 08-14-2003, 07:33 AM

Some excellent ideas here... only my first read, but I'm sure Markus will find it interesting as well

Thank You !!

JoeRockEHF · 08-14-2003, 08:14 AM

Awesome job. I got excited just reading it.

mh2365 · 08-14-2003, 08:41 AM

Great job ... Markus hire this guy

Scott Vibert · 08-14-2003, 10:30 AM

Nit picking on the Options... there is no limit to the number of times a player can be promoted and demoted. Each player actually has a number of option years... a player who's out of options has been a pro long enough to have exhausted their option years.

Good list though.

tcblcommish · 08-14-2003, 11:04 AM

That's a fantastic job, congrats and I hope Markus looks at it.

I would love to see the idea of more Ownership option like Stadium Renovations, Expansion and selling TV and Radio contracts.

Hopefully we shall see that soon

joncarlos · 08-14-2003, 11:56 AM

Wow. I love the stadium renovations and winter meetings ideas. All of it is very good.

Jonzard · 08-14-2003, 01:38 PM

fix the scouting stuff in online leagues

HolyCow98 · 08-14-2003, 03:39 PM

I haven't read it all yet....but thats a tremendous wish list....

I think if OOTP ever had everything you mentioned...I would pass out...lol

rogmax11 · 08-14-2003, 05:15 PM

Thank you, my friend! Your interests so closely mimic mine that it is scary. I have gone so far as to write up a similar this-is-my-vision-of-perfect-OOTP article to post here, but your effort far surpasses mine.

Markus, when you review this, please know that this is pretty much everything I ever wanted, and if you build it--we will come.

No double-entendre intended you smutty boys.

Andy · 08-14-2003, 05:34 PM

Those screenshots are amazing!

Muzamba · 08-14-2003, 07:03 PM

Thanks for all the positive feedback, everybody. Even though I enjoyed working on this, hearing your praise makes it all that much more gratifying.

Scott, thanks for pointing out my error. I made a few changes to correct it.

And btw... yes, I would love to be invited to work with the OOTP team.

If asked, I would definitely be willing to help out.

Again, I appreciate all the comments and compliments. Keep 'em coming!

twins15 · 08-14-2003, 07:21 PM

Thanks for that. That was very interesting. I love all of your ideas!

terpsox76 · 08-14-2003, 08:00 PM

Wow! I've had ideas along some of the same lines as what you've done here, but I could never present them all so well! Really good stuff!

AsTrOFaN · 08-14-2003, 09:01 PM

Very nice..It will probably be very difficult to get all of those things added though without messing with sim speed/data size.
