I know what everyone's thinking, but this game has NOT been abandoned already!

Just FYI the OOTP Twitter feed put this out yesterday
@ootpbaseball: Apple has unfortunately held up the iOOTP update for something that wasn't an issue in the past, so we're still dealing with it I wonder if it has to do with the MLB licensing problem that 15 has been forced to deal with.

It has nothing to do with the licensing problem. It has to do with iOOTP's saves being too large for iCloud backups. We don't have iCloud backups enabled with the game because of that, but a reviewer at Apple has rejected the update anyway. Sebastian has tried to repeatedly explain that we have released 4 versions of the game, plus numerous updates, none of which use iCloud backups, but the reviewer keeps insisting the update is in violation of Apple's policies. So, basically, the game was fine last month but now it's not, even though nothing in the update has anything to do with iCloud.
This has happened before, and it ends up requiring Sebastian to keep going back and forth with them until they finally understand the situation. And I suppose I should have been a little clearer on Twitter, but 140 characters isn't enough for this kind of explanation. ![]() |

Would you mind telling us exactly what's in this update so we're not just sitting here in the dark?

So far, few (or possibly none) of the issues that I've identified in iOOTP13 were fixed/changed in the initial release of iOOTP14. I bought iOOTP14 but, after finding that I didn't have a good reason to switch away from iOOTP13 (I only play historical leagues, so the player editor is not of much interest to me), haven't played it since the week after I bought it. I'll likely download the next free update but might never have a good reason to switch my playing habits away from iOOTP13. |

There isn't a ton to say about the iOOTP 2014 update. It will have a new icon, updated rosters, and bug fixes.

It has gone back to Apple, and we're hoping we get a different reviewer who doesn't stall the review for something that isn't a problem, like the last reviewer did.

They didn't follow them and the release via the App Store was delayed by about 3-4 weeks Fecking apple ![]() |

I can't believe every time we're promised an update, it's always delayed by Apple! Steve Jobs should be ashamed!
We want our new icon already, Apple! Come on! |

Even so, I honestly don't think this would personally shame him.
