This times 100. I was fully prepared to make OOTP21 the end of an era for me. Then they drop this news and reel me back in lol.

The best part is I'll be able to tell random customers that are baseball fans about OOTPGO and itll be so much easier for them to find. I work at an interstate gas station and have been spreading the OOTP word for years now to passerby that I learn are baseball fans.

This going to look so good on my Samsung Galaxy S7+ 12 inch screen Tablet. And bonus with my White Sox looking to contend that means I'm back to solo universing...I like PT but sure do miss the regular league/season creating...Thanks Markus & Team

This is great news! Thanks for the update.

Do you need to purchase OOTP 22 to play Perfect team or is FTP actually FTP?

[rdomico]

Will there be a way to copy a league from PC to Mobile so I can continue playing my league on my phone when I am on the road?
I like all the custom schedules that the community has produced. Will I be able to use those on mobile?

[daves]

With the app, I wonder if we could buy perfect points through apple app store?

I would too, mainly to use on a plane without internet access. However, that would cost $123.79 for all the seasons I use. Plus (I assume) $39.99 for ootp22 would total $163.78.

Unless there is a well discounted bundle price, I will stick to ootp22 only.

You will be able to play Perfect Team totally free with the app if you want to. You will not necessarily need the PC version of the game to play Perfect Team (although obviously if you want to manage your team from your PC and not just through your phone/tablet, you will need the PC version).

There won't be a way automatically, no. But if you are willing to play with your file browser, then there are ways to move games around. However, as noted, there are certain features that aren't enabled in the mobile game, so if your league uses any of them, it may not be 100% compatible. Also, obviously, the mobile edition and the PC editions will update at slightly different intervals at times, so there may be times where the 2 versions lose compatibility for a time.

There will be a heavy discount to buy the entire package. I don't know the price off-hand, though, once the game is released you will be able to see the full pricing.

In the last version of Manager there was huge discount to purchase entire history. I think it was around $19.99 or $29.99 my brain functions been failing on my for last 5-6 years so I can't quiet remember. Alzheimers not fun

Or we find a different, easy way to transfer league files... we'll see

This would be great! The only way I'd probably use the iOS version is if I could continue my desktop saves (and go back from iOS to desktop as well).

I enjoy iOOTP and desktop OOTP, but to be able to play my same franchise home and on the go would be game-changing (dare I say life altering?). Really hoping you guys can make this a reality. Whatever changes I'd have to make to my league to be able to sync back and forth from desktop to IOS I would do!

Yes 19.99. If you bought all in one version they even upgraded your purchase to the next.

I'm currently playing PT21 on my M1 Macbook Air. How will this differ in 22?

[gamefan1978]

Awesome glad to see OOTP Go is coming along and I buying it day one!

[Rob Morris]

Looks amazing.

[snarls200]

One thing I am wondering: If I buy the full seasons package and start in 1901 would the other franchises join the leagues when they did IRL or would it stay with the base clubs?

[OS Red]

Just saw the news. I'm so excited to try this on my new iPad Pro. After the lousy year that was 2020, this is great news and start for 2021. Though I see my productivity going down at work ��

[Colorado]

Looks brilliant, thanks for the update. I will certainly be purchasing this

Premium gaming apps on the app stores are basically non-existing nowadays, they can only exist if they already had a huge following prior to the industry shifting towards FTP, like Football Manager from Sega.

For those long time OOTP users, my question is who wouldn't still want the PC version?

Personally, I don't have that much personal PC time. As much as I purchase the PC version I rarely get to use it. An app allows me to play the game easily during short breaks, lunch and driving in the car (as a passenger of course).

I have completed very few seasons on the PC version (before Perfect Team), but I played well over 50 seasons with MLB Manager.

The ability to play on a phone anytime anywhere makes a huge difference. Die hard long time OOTP PC users will not be as affected by the app.
