OOTP Online?
Is there going to be a OOTP Online?
I remember reading about an OOTP Online game similar to Baseball Mogul Online coming out. It seems thou, BMO is pretty much dead. Any news would be good news right now and I know that there is a customer base of around 400 plus in BMO just a few months ago, right now there are is probably a good 200 playing. BMO is now closed to new signups as it will die a slow death. I remember reading about OOTP Online a few months ago from a newsletter. |

Yes, I remember something about OOTP Online, too. It sounded pretty cool, but I don't remember what it was all about.

Why is BMO closed to new sign-ups?
Those BMOers could always become OOTP online leaguers. As for OOTP Online, the last I heard was that Andreas was working on it. Who knows when it will come out. Unless we hear more, I wouldn't wait for it over something else. |

I couldn't find a link, but I think they are going out of business.

I understood that "OOTP online" was a fairly high priority for Markus, and that it is probably about a year away.

BMO isn't going out of business, but the problem is that is cost so much to opporrate. Mostly the cost of Ian. They have to fix billing and really that has been there excuse for a long time. If other companies can do billing right, why can't BMO?

I am showing how long I have been here with this statement but what is OOTP-Online supposed to be? I see that it is supposed to allow H2H from the conversation but what are the other features and such that have been floated. I just basically looking to find out how it is supposed to be different from online leagues really.

Thats not how BBMO was..... It would be hard for me to explain Im sure BoomBoom can explain it a bit better... basically it was a version where players were still generated by the game just in a different page.... and you could make trades, signings and so forth without having to send files to people... it was already automatically done.... Im sorry Im talking very stupidly.... Hopefully someone else can help me LOL

BMO is played on a server, all game file is on the server, so all you have to do is log in. The interface is also on the server, you never have to download anything. Anychanges you want to make, you do it via IE7, Firefox..ect. The leagues sim automatically, so you can sim 10, 20, 30, 60 sim days, each day. You can sim it all at once, or a little each hour, they even started 24 hour sims, 2 years ago. Most leagues sim from 9am-5pm, simming about 3-4 sim days each hour. You can trade to human owners, free agents are bidding format, and the only thing that wasn't done for you is the draft picks. The League commissioners would have to run drafts, and reassign the draft picks to the correct teams...
Anway, this post is worthless because BMO will be dead on December 1st. Looking foward, I hope that OOTP"O", will be available soon. I hope it has the ease and funness that BMO has. I know that there are a lot of people who will be coming over here to Buy OOTP. |

EDIT: I want to wish OOTP well with any venture as anything that helps them should help the community, but I didn't like this one from the start. Maybe with more info I'll come to see the advantage in it, but I think they've got their work cut out for them on this one. EDIT2: They do say it's going to be marketed towards "fantasy" league participants though and since I don't get the fun in those either, maybe there's good reason why I don't get this. Unless they make it very much like how fantasy leagues work (it sounds like they'll be more like how our leagues work), though, I don't get how they'll attract fantasy fans either. A fan of BMO may have some insight on this however. |

The big difference between BMO and OOTP leagues is speed. There are leagues , if you want, can sim 5 games an hour (60 a day). You can go through a complete season in a couple of days What you do lack is getting to know your players. BMO was a real player setup, so with that speed, you do have an idea who was good.
