Happy New Year!

Markus Heinsohn · 12-31-2016, 03:28 AM

Hey friends,

I'd like to wish you and your loved ones a great day and a Happy New Year!

2016 was a good year for our company (in case you have not noticed, we recently won Metacritic's PC Game of the Year award!), but 2017 will be even better, I can't wait to show you what we have in store for you

We'll reveal the first info about OOTP 18 and start accepting pre-orders late January. So, fun times are ahead!

All the best and enjoy New Year's Eve.
Markus & the OOTP Team

Here's hoping for an OOTP Pro Basketball game in 2017.

Happy New Year to all.

And YES to an OOTP Pro Basketball game!

Waiting ... Waiting with anticipation! 17 was great, high standards to keep up, but my guess is 18 will be even better. Keep up the great work!

Basketball would be nice, but a more advanced American Football simulator like BTS would be great.

Excited for OOTP18 !

Happy New Year to you too Markus and of course all of my fellow OOTP players

Your Game of the Year award is well deserved and has to be very satisfying after 17 years. I've felt for a few years now that OOTP is every bit as good as FM and thought the only thing holding it back is getting the word out. Maybe with STEAM and the MLB and MLBPA licenses the big explosion to FM type sales is about to occur? I'd love to see the day when SEGA has to ask themselves "what were we thinking letting OOTP go?"

Congratulations to you and the development team, may 2017 be even better

NFL... NFL.. NFL... hurry before it goes the way of the dodo.

eventually the public will smarten up and realize that something akin to running into a wall with a lether cap 50 times a day for 20 years has MAJOR health ramifications.

In 2017 being a man might become illegal. Please give us an NFL sim game before then!!!

And Happy New Year to the OOTP team and all the hard work you put in, year in and year out.

If u say that you will be accepting pre-orders in January for 2017, I cannot wait to start the Countdown To Release once again for OOTP18!

Hageneezz · 01-01-2017, 09:28 AM

Happy New Year to everyone on these forums!

Caporegime · 01-01-2017, 02:21 PM

How about an "Out of the Oval Cricket" game? Perhaps even a "Wisked Away Wiffle Ball", or a "Powerfully Propelled Polo" variant?

Statsman1 · 01-01-2017, 09:01 PM

Happy New Year to everyone in the OOTP universe, and I hope 2017 is good to one and all. Especially Markus and company, since that can only work out well for the rest of us!

How about an "Out of the pits" race simulation?
