Nothing like a day off!

Wishin’ and hopin’ and thinkin’ and prayin’
Plannin’ and dreamin’ each night for OOTP patches!

4. Go to almanac of year that player in question was waived.
5. Use player development, ratings, and teams situation to assess if player "should" have been waived.
6. Examine more player cards until finding another player who was waived at some point in his career.
7. Go back to step 4.

It isn't exactly the fun and neato experience that I'm sure some think it is. (I'm not picking on you there, Todd, because I know you were just teasing.)


OK. Back to my cave to pore over some more player cards...

I've got nothing but RESPECT for all the Beta Testers. I'm sure that what you do takes tons more patience than I will ever have. I would just love and official progress report one of these days. Thanks!

You know, when I filled out the beta tester app for ootp, I thought.. maybe I don't want to be a beta tester.

I'm just really wanting to get into v6, especially when the Cubs - Cardinals game is on.. From the post Markus wrote about 6.03, I'm hoping the game will finally be ready to dig into. With waivers being introduced in v6, we haven't had to wait, so to speak, for multiple patches like we are in v6.

I know you all are hard at work.
