Started a new game

No real logos as far as I can tell

Are you sure they extracted into the \logo_leagues and \logo_teams directories below \graphics?

Activated four times now..if i crash or exit and restart the game..i need to input my serial number each time and re-activate.

Hmm...try running the game as adminstrator if you're not already. That sounds suspiciously like the activation key file isn't getting saved.

yup

Did I need to start a new game or a quickstart in order to take advantage of the logos?

Have tried that without any luck. Keeps activating but won't save it for some reason.

Did an NHL logo pack come with the download or is it something you added on?

You need to put it in C:\My Documents\Out of the Park Developments\etc.etc...

not C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\etc etc...

lol - WOW - this is almost like "Black Friday" - only in early March instead of late November!

Enjoy, guys!

One thought - (and maybe this should be in a separate thread) - I'd be interested to see the outputs of some of the games to get a feel for how the stats are looking. Jeff - would it be best if one of us just started a new thread for gamers to post stuff like stats, box scores, etc.? Or would there be any efficiency even in having a separate part of the beta sub available? Either way - it's just a thought.

I think it'll work if you copy them into your existing save directory, too - it's the same directory structure. If they're in quickstart only, yeah, you have to start a new game.

PM sent.

viper091887 · 03-04-2013, 10:17 PM

I bought the game, when i click on the link in the email it says my access is denied and wont let me do anything with it.

When I try to download the set up file from the site it will go through the complete download and then when i try to open it, it says that i should try and reinstall it cause it is not valid. Please someone help!!!

ZKobalt · 03-04-2013, 10:25 PM

I haven't bought the game yet, as I wanted to see if I can download all the things I need to play this game before I buy it. However, while I was installing, I kept getting this message, anyone know how to fix?

Anemic_royaltea · 03-05-2013, 03:30 AM

I guess I should count myself lucky I didn't encounter even token resistance.

kexet · 03-05-2013, 02:10 PM

I pre-ordered the game like 3-4 h ago, when will i get the key sent to my email?

Can we edit Teams because I want to do is Drafted by Teams?

Antonin · 03-09-2013, 04:35 PM

I downloaded it and was disappointed to find that I would have to preorder the game before trying the demo. I am a marginal hockey fan at best, but I love sports management sims and would consider buying this one.

Sorry, but I can't justify committing to buying a game that is still in the beta demo stage.

That is fine, the beta is $10 cheaper and will give you access to the complete release game in September. Most of the guys who are purchasing early fall into a couple of categories.

1. Those who are interested in helping make a game of any kind, and want to make the game cool. These guys are probably fewer than most.
2. Sports management gamer types. Who want to make this game as good as any, or better than any...and are interested in helping do so.
3. Hockey fanatics--Those like me who just love the game and spend tons of time involved watching, playing, coaching, video game playing.
4. Cheap b*****ds who like hockey and video games and want to save a buck. I kind of fall in here too.

If you are not a hockey guy, and not a gamer or sports management guy this game may not be for you just yet....but hope you spend the extra bucks come September.

It is not in demo stage, and I'm pretty sure you'll be able to play a demo when the game is officially released.

You forgot the OOTPD fanboys. If Markus says give me money, we ask how much?
