OOTP 25 and a statement by Markus

[omg_pwnasaurus]

My viewpoint, caviat as someone who only plays historical, is that I really enjoyed making the Trade Deadline an "event" in the last version rather than just an emailed notification with some extra trade proposals.

I think that was an awesome addition last version. I'd love to see more calendar events become "things", like the Winter Meetings are a huge IRL event, but in the game they are just an announcement with some extra trade feeler slots allowed. Would be super cool if they could incorporate some new wrinkles into that event.

The offseason is my favorite part of the game so anything that adds to that chaos/fun would be a really cool add imho.

I agree about the trade deadline. I would add though that if you turn down AI trade frequency (to stop the Ais from doing a dozen trades a day, as they do on default), you barely get any offers during the deadline and it's kind of a snooze. Ai-to-player offer frequency should be its own slider separate from ai-to-ai trade frequency.

Any details on the Hall of Fame license and how it will be utilized?

Yes, but those will always be the last to patch

Sorry, only Steam and our Webstore this year!

In case this isn't tongue in cheek, I'm pretty positive OOTP gets the stadia from their parent company, which also has the advantage of being pre-approved by MLB. I don't know how the ads are determined and I won't speculate on that...

I was there! Wish we could have done it again.

It's great that you're cancer free and can continue to enjoy OOTP. Here's to many more.

I play all the games out pitch by pitch and start in the minors. This game has given me hundreds of hours of enjoyment and I have been looking forward to this for more than a week. My friends know about it, trust me.

Thanks for your support buddy! The end is still a looong time in the future...

I've been here since 6.5 under a couple names, and I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed not only the game, but the great community here. I know of no other major app where you can routinely interact with the development team on a daily basis. That's gold and can't be recognized enough.

Thank you, Markus...Lukas...Andreas...Matt...and all the others on the Team for the seemingly endless hours of joy, and for the opportunity to be a small part of this wonderful community! Mrs. Cobb sends her best as well...she knows how much I enjoy this.

[Ratbelly]

I play all sorts of video games from Elden Rimg to Cyberpunk and so on. I am most hyped for this game.

I'm all set and ready to go. Congratulations on number 25. Wow.
