How long can you go?

This is a first for me: Normally by now I've stopped playing OOTP and am waiting until the next version to come out. But this year I'm seeing how long I can go, and my expansion franchise, which I started in real time, is now in 2045.

So, with apologies if I should easily know this, how long can this game keep going? For instance, how many years are draftable players and international free agents going to keep coming in?

Indefinitely. Or at least a very long time, certainly measured in hundreds of years.

How much hard drive space do you have?

As much as it would take, I guess?

What? There are people that stop playing OOTP? That's insane!

Install the game on a 2nd PC and set it to sim to some absurb date, like 1,000 years in the future then just let it run. Pretty entertaining stuff, especially if you leave automatic evolution on.

I once did a 600 year sim. The best team was the Dodgers who won an astonishing 106 World Series titles.
