I was worried PT would take away from in-game improvements, but for OOTP21 that definitely wasn't the case this year, at least from what's been presented to me so far. Obviously there will be some bugs to work out, which is expected after launch. Last edited by ThePride87; 03-15-2020 at 07:57 AM. |

See, that's what we've been saying since we started to develop PT

the difference is you have earned our trust AND backed it up year after year. after all this time I have complete confidence OOTP will continue on this path. the rest of the sports gaming development world, not so much

Basically it's pretty easy:
If we'd all decide that it's not worth it, we'd probably see another version or two and this thing would end. Markus and his team work their butts off each and every year in order to improve this game ... some years the additions are more valuable to you, some other years they aren't. But the guys do their best. And if we all want to see this game get better and better through the years we have to support it by buying it .... it's that simple. I was (and still am) on the beta team for the second year now, and I'd say "Yes, it is worth it, absolutely"

Excuse the mini rant and bringing up football in a baseball post but it is about the dev teams.This is exactly right! They have consistently provided a top notch product without fail. This needs to be more of the thinking in the FOF forum. It gets to be quite frustrating to hear the complaints about the developers. I think the entire OOTP, FHM and FOF team have earned and deserve the respect of every user. I want football too but I am willing to be patient and wait for a good product, no matter how long it takes. I for one found this game with OOTP 13 and have not stopped since. Sorry for the mini rant. |

I've been here (well, the original forums before they ported to these) since the very beginning.
Some years I've felt like the progress between versions was minimal (or the progress was with a feature that was of minimal importance to me.) but the core of the game never failed to be enjoyable. That said, every year I find something that I'm excited about, from Perfect Team, to this years changes in scouting and drafting. So without playing it, can I say it's worth it? Well, I've never regretted a purchase since I started playing, and this year I expect that trend to continue. In fact after engaging in Perfect Team for the first time this past season, I think I'll probably give an online league a shot. Your mileage may vary, but every year I get excited for release and look forward to a new story to be experienced. |

Without a doubt worth it. Keeping in mind if you only played one hour a week, throughout the course of the year that equates to less than a dollar a week (10 cents per day)
Can’t get that kind of entertainment value in many things these days With how much I play (on average 5 hours per week) it costs me approx 2cents per hour So yes.....yes it is worth it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes it's worth it to support this company. Even if you never play it.

This is one of those companies and sports games where features aren’t leached out and added in years down the road as “new features.” These guys continually improve the game year to year. I’ve only been playing since 16 but have easily put a few thousand hours into the previous versions since then. I use to spend hours in madden, 2k, and the show pretty much playing GM and siming their bare bones franchise modes. Ever since I bought OOTP I haven’t bought one of those games since. Yes, it is absolutely worth it!!!!!

This exactly. Markus and the boys need to eat too. Been playing since OOTP 5 and buy every year (I'm a historical player) to support the franchise and keep the new good goodies on track. Plus with Perfect Team, I want to be in the new universe and not trapped in a dying one ...

Otherwise, I've found waiting is no big deal at all and you'll still enjoy the game on your own pace.
