If you have a good tat artist, you probably could have turned it into "SNOOP".

I hope we won't be exposed to too many interface changes though...I've grown to like the interface for OOTB 2006/7.

Agreed here 1000% Not that i was a hater of Duffy and co. but to me they came, slowed our roll, and left. Not to sound too harsh but good ridance to SI.

I'm really happy for this move and hope it suits Markus just fine. More of a family feel again !

Interesting.

This is going to cause some chaos in my Zimbabwe National Baseball Association next season.

Yeah, I was confused.

I have to admit that I'm pleased to hear this news. Good luck to all involved.

Fair winds, Marc.

So does this mean that we won't be able to have Sonic the Hedgehog as a mascot anymore?

deadringer · 09-20-2007, 08:32 PM

I'm a little confused, does the split make it more or less likely to get real MLB rosters in the next version? Was SI trying for the licensing or trying to avoid it?

Real rosters are a given for next season. battists is going to deliver on them or die trying.

rudel.dietrich · 09-20-2007, 09:14 PM

Besides the opening splash screen I never felt like SI had much impact on OOTP
And I always found it odd that a English company was trying to promote a baseball game
Maybe if this is tried again a company with a HQ in North America can try and promote the game. For obvious reason SI always had trouble doing so.

And now perhaps SI can pick up that Formula One game which has been in development for half a decade

And does this mean Markus is moving back to Germany?

Markus has been in Germany for well nigh two years.

Yes, and then he moved back.

Just to clarify this:

Having a roster set available with the release is a really high priority. Whether there are real MLB players/logos etc. actually delivered with the game setup files is still up for discussion, and probably won't be decided for some time. Obviously, it has a lot to do with licensing.
