But I also plan on pre-ordering for 2 reasons:

Dumb question but how did you find out you were one of the winners?

I was sent an email. I believe OOTP also officially announced the winners.

Nope. For the first time since v4 I won't be pre-ordering and may not purchase at all. Pretty much been a 100% online player for years now and I don't see any compelling reasons to upgrade. None of the leagues I'm in have any plans to upgrade at this time.

Except if your league updates... you won't have a choice.

Which is why we already had the discussions about whether or not we would upgrade or pass. Right now the consensus has been to pass.

Nope, I dont pre-order.
I happily pay full price as a token of appreciation for the absolute best entertainment
value and development team I have ever encountered.

Historical minors indeed! There are no words.....

You're missing out on a LOT. There are many changes (also under the hood) where online leagues benefit, for example the better player development, scouting, game recaps etc.

Just as soon as I get home from work. I'm impressed by the historical minors feature.

OOOOOH play dev and scouting improvements? Are we going to get more details on those as well?

I'm not saying we won't look at it. I'm sure we will do some play testing on the side. But things like player development and other changes under the hood have a huge impact in an online league, especially where things like player dev have been all over the place the past couple of versions. We get skittish when we can't explain why player career arcs fall of the cliff and when draft pools die or turn into essentially 100's of the same players.
