Road to release?

hfield007 · 02-27-2011, 11:06 PM

Will their be another road to release type thing like we had last year which started march 16, 2010?

I found that to be the most interesting lead up to a release for a sports game ever for me.

About 10 days before the release the show things pretaing to the new game, such as screenshots, info about features, reviews, ect.

It's a promotional campaign designed to drive the prospective customers into a frenzy.

And it works, except for the ones already in a frenzy

Yeh, article ideas are being drawn up right now.

I'm just hoping the "new features" list gets a tad bit lengthier in this version. So far I'm far from a "frenzy." I'm more in like a "nervous twitch."

Good old High Heat, love that game. So is it OOTO14 that will finally include animation/graphics like Front Page Sports Baseball? Can't wait.

Ha - Front Page Sports! That was great.

FPS Baseball 99 is how I ended up here.

- Shaun Sullivan wrote a great mod for that game.
- I started with Puresim when he released it as a freebie and bought versions up to 2004.
- At some point, a guy on the Puresim board (I think it was dantheman) had a link in his signature that brought me here.
- I scrolled down through the baseball stuff (I already had Puresim so wasn't all that interested) and then I saw Title Bout Championship Boxing at the bottom.

My jaw dropped. I had been playing the TBCB board game nearly non-stop since 1979 and somehow never knew that it had migrated to a computer version.

I never played Puresim again and after several years got drawn into OOTP which I now love too.
