You know you're addicted to OOTP when...

yougo1000 · 01-07-2018, 12:10 AM

You spend over 10 minutes looking for a player when you realize he's in a completely different save

When your family members know more about the fictional league you keep talking about than actual Major League Baseball.

When you can't wait for pre-order to start.

mitchkenn · 01-07-2018, 08:47 AM

you prefer to play OOTP than watch baseball on TV.

TheMaus2 · 01-07-2018, 11:26 AM

When you spend the time you don't play OOTP by toying around with jersey color schemes.

Sadly (gladly?) this ^^. To sit and just watch a baseball game (on TV, mind you, not at the ballpark) has become exceedingly boring. Not the game itself, but sitting there doing nothing to affect the outcome.

Solution: Play OOTPB with MLB in the background!

Minor problem with this, however: Looking up from OOTPB and seeing that MLB is already in the 7th inning with the score 5-4, say, and having no idea how any of that happened.

You're considering having a catheter installed.

You have cases of bubble gum and sunflower seeds sitting next to your computer.

Listen to the MLB games on TuneIn or MLB.TV or You Tube for classic MLB games while playing OOTP.

You play on your laptop at the office during work hours...

When you watch a game in your league on 3D mode, pitch by pitch and comment on it like you’re a broadcaster.

ForeverRoyalKC · 01-07-2018, 02:24 PM

Hey ChromEagle, don't forget the mini studio you built in your living room for the pre and post games shows!

You spend more time thinking about how to improve your team then your own life.

RchW · 01-07-2018, 08:23 PM

When you wake up after falling asleep and finish the week before the All Star Game before going to bed.

The Game · 01-07-2018, 10:17 PM

I'm watching A League Of Their Own on MLB Network. Many of the players appear in my EBL league. I have been looking at stats for Jimmy Dugan, Dottie Hinson, Doris Murphy, Ellen Sue Gotlander & Kit Keller.

I thought I was the only one....

I used to grind real life sporting events. For example, a game like tonight's college football championship was something I would not miss. Something I looked forward to. Now, I often look at such events as things that cut into my OOTP time. So, often I find myself playing OOTP with these games on in the background.
