Imagine my surprise when I saw an email at 5 AM ET!!!.. Downloaded, license loaded, and now......I have to go to work. But you can believe my laptop is coming with me!!! Thanks so much!

DrSatan · 04-06-2012, 07:34 AM

Just installed the game, but now I have to go to work. Damn.

Doc_Brown · 04-06-2012, 07:38 AM

Still waiting for my mail to arrive! But I know this game is going to rock, many thanks to all those involved.

Edit: For whatever reason it was in my spam folder. Now just quickly finish my essay and it's then OOTP time!

No - THANK YOU!! Markus & gang, you supply me with the greatest entertainment I could ever ask for.

BusterKing · 04-06-2012, 07:50 AM

Great job Markus and team!

This timely release should have a positive impact on your sales!

tim6298 · 04-06-2012, 08:05 AM

Of course I get an email at 730am EST, the second I get to work saying the game is ready for DL. At least I can look forward to it when I get home. Looking forward to continuing my current solo league on v13.

A great game, as always thanks for all the hard work that the development team put into it!!!

PSUColonel · 04-06-2012, 08:33 AM

Great release Markus!!

sdodd · 04-06-2012, 08:57 AM

Truly, truly amazing!!! Thanks for all the hard work that went into this great game.... And to get the email at 4am, geez, how much better can it get??

philthepat · 04-06-2012, 08:57 AM

Ive had it on for just under an hour, looking through the new features and having a play. Just an amazing game.

I know its cliche, but it really does get better every year. But this year so far seems to have jumped an extra couple of steps forward!

Thank you and well done to all the team! Best money I spend every single year.

kingcharlesxii · 04-06-2012, 09:24 AM

Thanks again Markus and team for another ridiculous number of hours of entertainment this year. I won't get the chance to play the game for another 10 hours or so and it's going to drive me the good kind of crazy all day.

ashantewarrier · 04-06-2012, 09:39 AM

Once again, congratulations to Markus and to the rest of the OOTP team for another outstanding release of OOTP!
Your professionalism and customer service is outstanding and should serve as a model for the larger game companies with much larger budgets to follow!

I've been a loyal customer since version 3 and plan to remain a loyal customer as long as OOTP is around!

ootp3to6 · 04-06-2012, 09:45 AM

Markus, I can not thank you enough for OOTP 13! It is an incredible baseball game that will keep me and all other OOTP followers burning the midnight oil for many months to come.

It helps that you had 4 opening days to choose from.

So far it looks great. Brought over my OOTP12 league (which I think originally was a OOTP 8 league) and everything looks good. My Royals are set to win the AL Central in 2019!

ED: Holy frijoles, it brought over my bookmarks from the previous version! That's always one of the more annoying tasks.

shawa666 · 04-06-2012, 10:00 AM

It's gorgeous. It's fast. I love it.

Mr. Marlin · 04-06-2012, 10:07 AM

You had me at OOTP 8 Markus and every year it gets better! Downloading right now and fired up.

jtsly2000 · 04-06-2012, 11:07 AM

Thanks for the hard work Markus as well as the beta testers. The real time simulation and interactive storylines are awesome additions.

Getting the game out on Opening Day is fantastic. I hope this is when OOTP will be released from now on. It really adds to the excitement having the game in my hands when the MLB is just getting rolling.

EagleMountain · 04-06-2012, 11:11 AM

Thanks, looking forward to learn about BaseBall and OOTP.

Nice to read that all "the old guys" are happy and looking forward to this version.

Downloaded, installed and everything went silk smooth. Now I will create a small fictional league to learn the ropes
