How will you plan to split time between OOTP/FHM?

Orioles1966 · 02-21-2013, 09:57 AM

I've been playing OOTO11 and OOTP13 and with the arrival of FHM it looks like I will play baseball in the morning and hockey in the afternoon and evening.

Don't know if my computer can handle playing both OOTP and FHM at the same time but might try it at the beginning too see how it works.

I won't have this dilemma. I'll be playing FHM only. I'm not a fan of baseball. I'd rather watch paint dry while hockey is full of action, whether scoring or checking.

I am sure this isn't what the OOTP devs want to hear but I will have no need for OOTP.

I play OOTP cause it is an amazing sim, but it only gets me so far before I realize its baseball and then it doesn't matter how deep or amazing the customization is; its still baseball...

I spend more time in OOTP creating different leagues than playing it. I have attempted to turn it into hockey creating the NHL, AHL, CHL as well tried to turn it into NFL by making pitchers the QBs but in the end I end up just wishing it was a different sport

I've never played OOTP (well I tried the demo to see how it looks but that doesn't count) and I intend to play FHM only (but extensively

).

I'll try to find a nice balance, but I suspect each game will get played more frequently when it's real life league is in season. Being retired always helps too.

If you don't like Major League Baseball,try watching the NBA All-Star game and then you will love baseball.

Sometimes I'll play OOTP, sometimes I'll play FHM. I don't think I'll plan my time in advance.

NBA All-Star game is only 1 game...MLB is 162 games....I don't watch neither (MLB nor NBA) unless it's last round of playoffs or something intriguing, like Raptors winning a few games in a row...

The NBA playoffs are basically set(unless the Lakers get hot) and they still have 2 long months before the playoffs begin. How do you spell b-o-r-i-n-g,

I'll play FHM much more but I'll most likely play a fair amount of OOTP too.

Edster007 · 02-21-2013, 06:39 PM

iOOTP on my iPad during my commute, FHM all other times. I like Baseball but love Hockey, iOOTP is enough to satisfy me on the baseball side.

I'll play OOTP for 12 hours..then FHM for 12 hours. I'll have to find time to work and sleep in there somewhere.

shawa666 · 02-21-2013, 11:08 PM

I will probably play more of OOTP in the winter. Have to get my baseball fix.

Then in the summer i'll play FHM more. Because i'll need my hockey fix.

EberleisEdmonton13 · 02-22-2013, 12:32 AM

I will only play FHM, I bought OOTP 13 just to see what FHM may look and feel like. I cant wait to play hours of FHM

erikthered · 02-22-2013, 07:37 PM

What's an OOTP...?

joehelmer · 02-24-2013, 05:28 AM

I will only play FHM, bought OOTP12 last year but I don't find it appealing anymore and now I get my hands on a new hockey management sim.

I'm with you on this, as much as I love OOTP, I think a faster sport is more up my street

Stinson · 03-04-2013, 02:57 AM

I think I may actually play OOTP more often with FHM around.

As it stands now, I play OOTP daydreaming about it being hockey, and quitting out of disappointment. But now, that won't be a problem... hockey can be hockey, and baseball can be baseball.
