For 14: New Game or Transfer? - Page 2

Who Killed Kenny? · 04-10-2013, 08:20 AM

I will be transferring. Started playing a "test" league in v5 and have transferred it all the way to this newest version.

I'll be doing both. I have a league to transfer but I will also be starting a new one.

Lucas718 · 04-10-2013, 08:25 PM

Transferring an Orioles franchise I've been running since OOTP 7.

Ts-Rock · 04-10-2013, 08:53 PM

I will be starting over with my new look Braves!

Questdog · 04-10-2013, 08:55 PM

Start over.......because your old leagues are filled with unrealistic players that would never make the cut in OOTP 14......

I'm switching from a HP running Windows 7 to an Apple iMac. I'm going to start a new league.

RchW · 04-10-2013, 10:45 PM

Where's the option for both? Many players play many variant leagues.

Take this as a write in for both.

flaquis010285 · 04-11-2013, 01:20 AM

A fresh save. I want every feature, old and new.

doors11 · 04-11-2013, 01:35 AM

I have way too much custom stuff in my league. I play a 60's league with only players from the 60's..

So I'll being bringing my ootp13 save into ootp14.

I will be starting a new game with this years rosters for the first time since ootp10.

Can't wait

How do the transfer-overs hold up? Are the game saves reliable?

Dalwhat · 04-11-2013, 06:55 AM

Keeping my v13 games as is and starting afresh in v14. I may port across once everything is stable although I may not as the new algorithms may throw up unwanted artifacts in the older leagues.

I've never had an issue with transferring my game and I've done it from v4 all the way to v13. All new features will be in your transferred game either right away or over time (new player creation etc.).

I do run a new auto-calc to reset my league total modifiers as there are usually some differences that occur due to tweaks to the game engine.

Being able to transfer your game into each new version is the best thing about OOTP. I never have to worry about how many seasons I can get in before I have to start over. Never have to hurry to get in that "one more season". Never have to quit just when the team I built is ready to make a run. It is OOTP at it's best.

GDawg · 04-11-2013, 08:26 AM

Both.

BigbyWolf · 04-11-2013, 09:29 AM

Both actually

Transferring my historical random debut league and starting a new fictional league.

Tycobbler · 04-11-2013, 09:34 AM

Fresh start here... woohoo OOTP14

Xavier12 · 04-11-2013, 12:13 PM

Will transfer over a nice fictional league I have going. Will probably for the first year ever try playing out an actual MLB season. Fictional player since OOTP 6!

kingcharlesxii · 04-11-2013, 12:15 PM

Transfer for online leagues, obviously.

I like to start fresh with each new version so that I can take full advantage of the new features. Some of the new features in OOTP 14 will hopefully let me try some ideas that weren't easily doable in previous versions.

New test league.
