Nice bell curve. Nice distribution of age ranges. OOTPD ought to be looking really carefully at this and realize that they are doing a good job of appealing to baseball fans of all ages. They should keep that up.

Lol for a statistical standpoint the bell curve looks great!lol Very interesting, thanks everyone who has voted

No, I'm serious (and I gave you a late thanks for this thread).

It is a nice-looking curve (

) but what I meant to say was it looks like it reflects a full and proper array of age ranges. Not skewed to young folks (as it might be if it were more of a video game) and neither to older people (that would sent OOTPD back to the drawing board for sure

).

This game has appeal for all ages (well, maybe not toddlers on either end of the age spectrum). OOTPD should take notice and continue to do what it takes to preserve this.

Thanks, that's the one bar (yellow, 25-30) that needed tweaking upward to beautify that bell curve shape even more!

Well, that bar needed a bit of tweaking, too, so thanks. You young guys, don't fall behind here! You will be needed for when we oldsters head to that grand old sim game palace in the sky.

The struggling age bar. It must grow. Talk to your friends! Take iOOTP to school (bus, study hall, lunch break only - do not play OOTP while someone is trying to teach you something useful and ultimately lucrative in life!)

Mr. Baseball · 02-16-2014, 11:44 AM

26. Started playing about five years ago.

I'm so happy my study hall teacher lets us play games during it. I can actually win the World Series at school

Actually, you know who would really dig OOTP and its statistics? Your math teacher!

I actually told my teacher about the game and it would be a good fit for math but she said it didn't fit into the plan.

60...first got ootp9 in its latter days and immediately preordered 10. Then joined the beta team. First started playing baseball in 1957.

dodger300 · 02-27-2014, 07:08 PM

50. Started with ootp 5. Version 6.5 started playing ootp exclusively. Started playing table top games in 1973, and have never stopped playing some version of a baseball game since. Love to see the young guys playing.
