OOTP 25 and a statement by Markus

[Battman]

New to the game. just bought 24 for Apple thru the app store. Will the discount be available thru the App Store, or will I need to buy direct from the game company? Does it install over the existing game?

[Robert11729]

Definitely pre ordering again as a long time member of this franchise. Really don't post much on here but I thank Markus and the entire team for all that they do for us. I really cant wait to see all the new options and things gonna be added this year. Im really excited for the new development in training players in some things they are not great into something they might at least been decent in even if you can't be perfect. I hope I can get my yankees to finally win this year hope the over .400+ on base percentage stays for Soto. They say stanton is supposely gonna be different this year we shall see. And hopefully Judge stays healthy. We have so many questions this year about our pitching with Cole,Snell(Will Yanks spend more money they think $150 mil is enough I think he will get somebody to get him for around $180-$185 mil)/Montgomery(Not likely with us dumping him to saint louis then they shipped him to texas)Rodon,Stroman,Cortes and Schmidt.

Not sure about the first one since I always buy the PC version on Steam but for the second one... no it's a different installation for each versions of the game (I don't think it's different between Mac and PC).

So I have been here every year since 2003 and will continue. I got hooked many years ago and after losing my wife in 2021 I have lots of time to play. I'm 74 this year and will keep playing till the end. This game has got me thru some very dark nights thank you Markus and gang....

Great to hear you are still alive and kickin' and playin' our favorite game.

I will soon be 84... hope both of us are around for a lot more versions of OOTP... I hope to see my views on my Islandian Pro Alliance dynasty reach the 1,000,000 mark... have about 200,000 more views to go... it will take about 4-5 more years.

Will keep you in my prayers... live long and prosper.

I found you in 2003

Been hooked ever since. The game has come a long way since then! It is worth every penny! Thank you for all you do! (You need to give Matt a raise :-) )

Like your post. I turn 69 in April and wonder off and on if I will ever "tire" of playing this game and Football Manager, which are my two "go to games." I've played every sports genre out there it seems, also political games, war games, etc., but those two I mentioned are now the "only" ones I consistently play. I enjoy reading your Dynasty Report and am glad you've kept that going.

Thank you Eugene I don't plan on going anywhere and it's great that we have been around to watch this game grow...

Thank for your support of the Islandian Pro Alliance.

I have a major problem right now... it did not schedule the playoffs in the League Events... Lukas Berger is going to look at it... I sent him the .dat file.... hoping he can save it... it's been going for 15 years now... hope I don't lose it... I want to do it for 100 seasons... have 21 seasons to go... also want to reach 1,000,000 viewers... have about 775,000 as of today.

Hello and congrats.

Will the license key come with an email? I pre-ordered.

Many thanks...Bob

Will there be a way to implement an off season program to improve a players injury rate? This seems like things some players work on and become more reliable healthwise.

[LaserShow]

Thank you, Markus and team. I have never posted before but have likely purchased every version since about OOTP 12. The progression of this game has been remarkable. Cheers to 25 years!

[sdw1000]

Ya, Covid and inflation killing everyone. Hate that the price has to go up because of those 2 things but it's worth it. I've been around since OOTP 15, so this marks 10 years for me! Congrats Markus and team!

Consider this: Stratomatic computer baseball is the same price, only it doesn't include stadiums (hi res), it doesn't have advanced 3D, it doesn't come with historical seasons. You have to pay extra for all those.


OOTP is a steal.

[rbaezam79]

Congrats for the 25th anniversary! This is an amazing game and the price increase is completely understandable. I already prepurchased the game as every year. Looking forward to trying the new features soon!

[CorehDaVagabond]

The price hike usually doesn't bother me but I have questions about what this means in relations to some lost features like the Japanese league. I didn't buy 24 specifically because I didn't want my leagues tainted with fake Japanese players. Despite this unfortunate situation I must insist that you still make a fantastic game. I just personally have that particular "ick" happening for me with a hike and the potential of old features remaining unincluded.

Also, will Negro League content continue?

I don't see why not since the league is considered a major league by the MLB...
