Have you tried Cities: Skylines. It's amazing.

I have! It is everything Sim City should be!

I've thought about building a few cities in Skylines and then basing a fictional baseball league on the cities from the game.

Seriously.

Someone who thinks the key to a solid historical replay are accurate coaches and owners. Not quite sure that data is tracked in the Lehman database, though. I would like that sort of stuff to be included in OOTP at some point but I don't that is relevant enough to give a 0 out of 10 rating. The only logical explanation is that this was a episode of spiteful vengeance.

I agree that both of those complaints are valid.

Best city builder sim ever! Plus it's not from EA! Bonus!

Other plug: if you like space/NASA/sims: Kerbal Space Program!

Kerbal is great too. I only play the demo though. The full game blows up my computer.

[Ormondbeachdan]

Done!... It went up another .1....

KSP rocks. I lose track of time on that one. I'm pretty much splitting time these days between OOTP and KSP, with a little Sims 3 here and there. When I'm not doing real life stuff, that is.

Thank you very much!
Markus

PS: Update #6 is close to being ready for beta and will be released at the end of the month!

Although, I haven't finished my season from a previous version and have only have played ver. 16 for one hour I went ahead and gave it a 10 based upon your consistent reputation.

I can't wait to transfer my league over. I love so many of the new features.

It's good, mostly. (sorry for the hijack...this is too important a title to not discuss when someone else brings it up)

Laying roads is much easier than using the NAM but the 4x4 maximum building size really hurts. It's near impossible to get a good looking farm. Also, the trash collection and hearse collection algorithms do not function properly though there is a mod that fixes that.

I also don't like the way that I can't have ghettos. What happens is that the area abandons too easily so instead of poor neighborhoods you get vacant neighborhoods.

All in all, it is a very solid title and looks to be the proper successor. It is still clearly a baby, however. Let's give it 2 or 3 years to grow up and then call it great. Right now, it is a top 10 prospect with a good bat and a good arm. Let's see how it does in AA before we all start going Hall of Fame.

Something like this?

Be careful for what you ask for. I do agree with you about EA but Paradox is the King of withholding content and selling it as DLC. See Crusader Kings II (I have all content) and Europa Universalis IV.

Luckily, I read a lot of reviews/stories and saved that $70 :-)

[Garrett67]

Done! Of course I gave it a 10, since its a 10.

Me too.

Sid Meiers Railroads! was the last game that I ever bought without reading a review or watching a you tube video.

Heh. That review didn't exist until after Markus posted. The only negative posts were non-textual ones.

I did not even notice the timestamp of the review. Great catch!

Must be a very angry person out there just waiting for the optimum opportunity to express his/her feelings.

[Caporegime]

Aw crap! I misspelled laurels and made at least one grammatical mistake in my review and there's no edit feature.
