Curious

As mentioned I am curious in how you players handle playing 2 games on here at same time. I play OOTP16 (played since season ticket) all the time but wonder what would be the best way to play the hockey game. Bottom line is I wonder how you are able to balance between the 2 games. I will eventually buy the American football version as well when that comes out sometime next year (hopefully).

Just wanted your thoughts on this.

Should have also asked also do you also play one game in the background and play the other version ???

I have FHM 2, FHM 2014 and OOTP 16 open right now!

I think a lot of people who play both will probably go in season.. So play FHM more when it's hockey season and play OOTP more during the summer.

I plan to play both at the same time.

I love both baseball and hockey....but, say, when baseball is out of season over the winter I can't play a baseball sim or video game. Same way with hockey, too. Over the summer I can't even as much pick up a hockey game. So, that's how I handle it. Once the World Series is over this year OOTP will go away for me until next years version comes out.

I normally have at least 2 gm games on at the same time all the time haha

My big question as I am thinking now is what is the optimum computer to be able to handle 2 possibly 3 games going at same time or at least opened with no issues or slowdowns???

I mostly have games open in the background.. On a Mac you can create a few dashboards/desktops and toggle between them like you would swipe a page on your phone.

This way I can do my regular stuff and every one or two hours I toggle to a game and play 15-20 minutes. Right now it's Football Manager I'm not a baseball guy.
