My first thoughts on 21
I've played almost every OOTP since the beginning (fictional league; play out about 650 games a year), and have bought it for the last 10 or 12 years straight. I read the announcement and immediately pre-ordered. So thrilled to see the new stadium builder and the updates to scouting. I actually use a spreadsheet to manage my own gameflow system, so am excited to see what the in-game (customizable!) addition is here, too. And like every year, there's all sorts of other changes and little upgrades, too: some of these look intriguing. Just read, too, that Matt's going to try to slip in a feature to allow hiring other teams' personnel after release (even if it waits to 2022, it's super to see this on the way). Thanks and congrats to all you guys at OOTP; you deliver time and time again.
On a side note: I also play MLB The Show franchise mode because I like the actually gameplay (although out-of-game franchise management is absolutely terrible, especially compared to OOTP) and have been watching their announcements about the new release: hugely disappointing again! Such a great lift, then, to have have this exciting news from OOTP. Thanks guys!
