How many hours a day or week do you play OOTP5? - Page 2

Behind Red Doors · 04-25-2003, 08:32 PM

Probally around 3+ hours a day. Mainly because I work on my desk and play OOTP on my computer at the same time.

It really depends for me. If I start playing, I will usually play at least an hour. But, most days I have baseball practice or a game, and I don't have time to play the game. But, on weekends, I play it a lot.

Well when I start playing... I can't stop. But when I stop, I can't start again. (usually becasue I started losing and lost interest)

Not enough to play and too much time on utility programming.

I go in spurts ... one week I might open the game for an hour or two ... then the next (when things are more quiet in the house of course), I can spend upwards of 20 hours ... on average, I'd say 5-10 hours a week with most of that on Friday and Saturday evenings.

I'm up there too, at least 1-2 hours a day. I play out every game, try to get in a 3-4 game series per day for sure, and 2 series if possible. I spend way too much time perusing the stats though!

I state again that this game and Combat Mission have now ruined every other game for me!

I agree heartily.

I do play about an hour or two a day. And both of us admittedly spend too much time in vegging out in front of the PC. So we have decided to take up golf. Good excersise, and time together.

I know what you mean, if I ever get fired, I am sure it will be because of my OOTP forum addiction

Not as much as time as I spend on these boards.

For the first few months I spent maybe 8 hours a week playing solo. Then for a long time I spent most of my free time working on excel workbooks to do stuff with ootp output (recently none though). Now that I've joined online leagues I spend very little time on solo play, maybe 1 hour a week on online play (not counting heavy times like off season drafting and FA signing).
