According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

So if I d/l the game on Thursday, I guess I'll have to bring my TV in the computer room so's I can watch basketball and play OOTP at the same time. I also will have to cash in a vacation day from work for Friday. Life is good.

C'mon guys I can't be excited like that. I nearly had a heart attack when I read the email subject. It's probably good I can't d/l it today. I took two weeks of leave to study for promotion, and I wouldn't have done any studying. Then I wouldn't get promoted, and I would have to wait until next year to test again, and then ootp 2008 will come out, and.........doh!

When I saw the title of the email I pretty much knew that it would say that it could be downloaded Thursday.

The next email title will say:

OOTP To Be Cancelled

only to say in the body:

... unless you convince 5 friends to buy it. We're not kidding. Sega's on our butts. If we don't sell x copies, they're shutting down development of OOTP and putting Markus to work in a coal mine in China. You don't want to see that happen to Markus and go without future versions of OOTP, now do you?

Believe it. The last email was just to test the waters for this next one.

How about 2 hours earlier. I leave for work at 6:30 AM central time. I will play it on lunch if I have it.
