I will say that I know so little of hockey (though I have respect for the sport) that I will probably never have desire to purchase the game on its own. But if it was packaged with the other two I would certainly install it and give it a whirl once or twice just to see what it's like. Who knows, I may be hooked, and maybe I will find that not knowing what makes a good center, left wing, or defender won't be as big of an impediment as I thought. |

Hey, OOTP guys, are you trying make Sports Mogul go bankrupt? You have to be ashamed of yourself!

I guess Clay needs to get on the hockey bandwagon too before he does get run over. I beta tested his FB game in 2012 and got no reply about a hockey game. Whenever Markus decides to do basketball, no one is gonna' touch OOTP.

Hello guys... I am so excited about this new game. I play OOTP daily and am a casual baseball fan. I can not imagine how many hours I will log on the football game as I am a HUGE football fan. I have stalked most of the information, watched the online videos and am so looking forward to this game.
I have not seen this question so: With his (Francis Cole) background at Sports Interactive (i.e. Football manager) (which BTW have fantastic visual play) will BTS (eventually) try to replace the moving "o" with moving football figures? IMO it would take this game through the roof. |

Unfortunately not for the foreseeable future; Not only do they have a whole team of people doing the Engine now it's in 3D, but this starts to get into the area where you need an official license.

I will happily give OOTP Dev $80 a year for BTS and OOTP. Add a basketball game someday and I'll make it $120.
Not a hockey fan. :P I also intend to apply as beta tester. Anything to get my hands on this thing sooner! |

Another thing my wife is going to put in my casket when I die lol.... She already knows to put some sort of OOTP item in there.... I cannot wait for this!!!!!! Baseball is my first love but football right behind and knowing that it will have that OOTP feel just makes it that much better!!!!!

Probably the best $120 you'll spend each year.....

I may be in a minority but im actually glad Markus didnt take on a american football game himself. As he stated he wasnt as familiar with the game and i think ootp might have suffered. I think it was a very good decision to wait.

I just checked and I have the original PM when Markus first got in touch with me about BTS (long before it was called BTS, it was AFGM back then!)!
Perhaps one day we'll print it off and sign it and give it away to someone And then we have the story of how they were at the wrong terminal at Hamburg Airport and I had no idea what was going We could write a book on the story behind BTS! |

It's funny, on one of the forums you discussed your game, back last September/October I believe, I remember someone asking you about how you would handle real players, real teams, etc... You said you would have to get in touch with Markus to ask what he did for OOTP. Then shortly after info went silent on your updates of your independant game.. It's cool to think perhaps just that little contact/query perhaps led to this larger partnership. |

Well I knew Markus originally as we both worked at Sports Interactive at the same time many years ago.
That's why I was planning on asking him. However before I could ask him he found out about my game by complete chance (I think Sebastian told him about the game), so he got in touch and invited me out to Germany. And from then onwards I couldn't say anything else about AFGM unfortunately! |

This news is brilliant! For years I have been waiting for an updated Football management game, I have tried Football Mogul but I struggled to really get into that, so to now have one announced by OOTP Developments is like a dream come true .
I own and enjoy all the other series that OOTP do (Baseball, Hockey and Boxing) although they are all still a big learning curve, but now all we need it a good Basketball and Rugby sim and then I'd be complete. |
