First thing I do every year is run into the creation wizard and begin creating a new regional league, usually based around the West Coast. Accordingly I haven't been able to fool around with much yet but holy hell is this UI sexy.

Just got mine. Thanks for the help, guys!

So, please post your first impressions about the game here. We'd love to hear your feedback.

Cheers!
The entire OOTP Developments team

PS: Time for a beer now!

The "widow" is curious....how many emails had to be sent out?

Like Christmas morning, only no wrapping paper to clean up!

Edit... Never Mind... Learn to search first before opening mouth...

I really miss having the font (background) being team colours for names...seeing as how that's my biggest problem so far that's pretty impressive.

Orioles1966 · 04-18-2014, 12:35 PM

I tried to change the screen size to windowed and the entire screen turned black. Can't get back onto the game screen and its effecting my OOTP14(unable to continue a game).

I hit the reset tab,then ok and the screen turns black. Don't want to use the entire screen.

Heheh, I took my laptop to work today and I am secretly playing the game when no one is watching! Loving the new interface and skins!

Padreman · 04-18-2014, 12:38 PM

I love that too! Looks so bitchin'!

Mister_G · 04-18-2014, 12:41 PM

Looks like the new interface will take a little getting used to, but definitely looks like an improvement once I get a handle on it.

Unfortunately, I haven't really jumped it to the game yet because I'm trying to figure out how to successfully download the AIO mod.

Even worse is that I have to go to the DMV in an hour to update my license! Basically the exact opposite in terms of enjoyment as playing OOTP all day.

Minor quibble, but for the 3rd straight year, I cannot copy the latest Activation Key from the Ecellerate page into the box.

I highlight it, hit Ctrl-c and then Ctrl-V to paste and all that shows in the box is a 'v'.

It is irritating to have to copy the key into the box (and hope you didn't mistype).

Like I said....minor quibble....I use Win 7.

The extra row appeared after I changed to 1680x1050

I use Win7 and was able to cut and paste without issue.

Use the mouse and right click on the text box and click on Paste then!

rpriske · 04-18-2014, 12:51 PM

It looks beautiful!

I'm not totally sold on the new Facegens, but that is okay....

Without going through all of the new beard types... anybody know which beard is a FULL beard. (Brian Wilson-ish... or at least Grizzly Adams...)

Use the Add Ons dialog, it's the easiest way to get the AIO mod. Perhaps the server is busy at the moment...

Goldash · 04-18-2014, 12:55 PM

Thanks again for all your hard work, guys. This is my first version since OOTP 12, so last night I upgraded my OOTP 12 fictional world database all the way to 14 using the demos. It's still converting and copying the files over to 15 as we speak, but I'm really excited to finally try all the new features from this year (and from 13 and 14 that I missed out on).

I'll hopefully be seeing you all in 15's version of the "Funny Generated Names" and "Funny Generated FaceGen" threads. Until then, Merry OOTPmas to all, and to all a good (opening) night!

Klew1986 · 04-18-2014, 12:57 PM

Got it! thanks! I just had to make my laptop screen resolution so I can fit more on the screen. It makes stuff smaller (font and stuff), but I want as much on the screen when it comes to OOTP

bwburke94 · 04-18-2014, 01:01 PM

Did a little historical test.

OHMYGOD the Florida Marlins become the Miami Marlins in 2012!
OHMYGOD the Astros move to the AL in 2013!

(Still no second wild card in those years - posting in bug reports.)

Donevyn · 04-18-2014, 01:04 PM

Got mine about an hour ago and just now am getting ready to dive in...I'm so nervous with anticipation my wife thinks I'm having some sort of an attack...lol.

Thanks for all the hard work and GREAT public dialogue with all of us. VERY much part of the game imho.

WAHOOOO

(btw, how do you import games from older versions into new ones? I thought I knew, but it ain't working so I guess I don't know
