Once I see what the new version contains there might be something in it that will convince me to buy, and then I will be willing to pre-order, simply for the discount. But is to be something good and in the core gameplay, not the card-collecting loot box nonsense!

If nothing new is included, at the very least I'll buy bc Markus and company have proven that they will support the game and squash bugs for months after release. That is definitely not the normal in the gaming industry

Also a solid reason for supporting a company. Again, this isn't the place for this discussion, but are the former principals going to remain active in the software after a new company takes over?

Yup

Will we be able to continue saves we start with the 3 day beta after launch on the 26th?

Markus, can you reveal the date of when you're revealing the features of this new version? Or even a ballpark range? Launch day is a month away, so I'm guessing it's going to be pretty soon?

Yeah, all the usual should work: importing from previous games, or continuing on with beta saves.

As always, you will need to start a new game to get all the newest updates to rosters and stuff, and there's always a chance that things will change during the beta and through launch, but we try our best to make sure things are as compatible as possible.

Edited for content.

Seems like the game announcement would include a list of new features. Weird marketing here...

KEConway · 02-22-2021, 04:26 PM

Are there any changes and tweaking you can tell us about?

pauwoo · 02-22-2021, 04:35 PM

Excited to hear about the new features, etc on March 5th.

Don't say that or the fanboys will call you a heretic.

I feel it's worth it just for the 2021 roster set. It will be as good as OOTP 21,
but with some new features. For the number of hours I spend on OOTP it's a no brainer.

Or maybe its a better marketing tool to have an unveiling hosted by someone from the MLB network. Congrats to Markus on being mainstream enough after all these years that someone like Scott Braun will do the reveal show

I have bought every version since 2002. This year will be no different. Thanks Markus and team. I’m excited to hear what you’ve cooked up.
