I'm intrigued by cricket. Do you have a recommendation on where an uninitiated American like myself could educate himself on the sport?

molarmite · 10-18-2011, 07:40 PM

This is quite unexpected, but very good news to hear OOTP is expanding. Perhaps if this does well, it could lead to the expansion of a basketball or american football game.

MooK881 · 10-18-2011, 07:52 PM

oh this sounds excellent! So i take it when you say "all teams, rules, leagues" editable that means you can create a fictional league like in OOTP?? I hope so because I will definately buy this game!

Corsairs · 10-18-2011, 08:06 PM

Certainly very excited to hear about this new development. Best of luck to you, Sebastian! I am curious to learn if there is a plan for the initial release is to allow fictional dynasty leagues (i.e. develop fictional teams over the course of multiple years)?

Marmacette · 10-18-2011, 08:17 PM

I'm a die hard hockey fan as well and I think this announcement is great news ! If you need more help for the french translation, don't hesitate to contact me. I am french canadian as well (Quebec City).

My dreams have come true! A OOTP-style hockey sim is all I ever wanted for Christmas. I am offering my assistance in any way possible. I am not a very good programmer, but I have, in the past developed a hockey sim.

Good luck!

Well, you should work on that, because their is a huge potential market for a football game with Front Office Football dead, Pro Football Simulation eh, and Football Mogul horrible.

MizzouRah · 10-18-2011, 09:58 PM

This is EXCELLENT news!!!

Can't wait to see some screenshots and more information.. very happy to see a hockey title in the works!

chrisj · 10-18-2011, 10:10 PM

Great news - look forward to giving it a shot when it comes out.

monkeyman576 · 10-18-2011, 10:32 PM

I wish OOTP would make baseball for Android instead of this:shrug:. Still this would be cool though.

I concur. I've never played Front Office Football but from what I've seen, it seems dreadful. I own a version of Football Mogul and it is a joke. I'd love to see the OOTP folks make a football game.

But, for now, I'm really excited about this hockey game. Go Caps (5-0 to start the season

)!

BTW I'm a french speaker, so if you need help for the translation later just drop me a line. This is if you want a french canadian translation of course and not a weird french from France one.

LOL especially "les mots sacre" (I hope I got that right).

OutS|der · 10-19-2011, 12:06 AM

Will Canuck fans riot whenever we make it to the finals? would be realistic

i can't wait for this

rudel.dietrich · 10-19-2011, 12:25 AM

Holy ****. This is quite unexpected.

Will this be a brand new engine or perhaps the old EHM crew has partnered with OOTPD?

I also have to wonder if any sort of professional league licenses will be acquired.

And where do I sign up for the beta?

rudel.dietrich · 10-19-2011, 01:00 AM

I would also very highly suggest that additional translators be found to get the game into Finnish, Swedish and Russian.

Sales of EHM in Scandinavia carried the series for a few years before lack of sales eventually did it in.
I think a English and French only translation would limit sales right from the start. Targeting Scandinavia might be a good idea.

Kudos.
