Update from OOTP9 to 13

[tswedalla]

Right now I am playing OOTP9 which I downloaded from Steam to see if I would enjoy the game. I do.

I've played 13 seasons as the New York Mets, expanded baseball to 38 teams (across 3 continents) and want to upgrade to 13. Is there an option in 13 to import a game from a version as old as 9?

Thanks

You will have to import into 10, then 11, then 12, then 13.

You can download the demos for the versions you don't have and do your imports that way.

Holy Crap! All that to transfer it from one to another? I'm guessing 13 is that much better than version 9. Some of the issues I am having in 9 is that it only tracks the history of the manager of a team, if you were a pitching coach I know how many years experience you have, not where and when.

Also, the first baseman on my team gets yanked in the late innings for a defensive replacement; who, is not better at first base than the starter, and, my only other catcher on the roster. Why would the game do this?

Other than that I am happy with 9 unless there has been significant game play improvement.

Your 1B could be tired. If your only catcher is also your only 1B back-up, then there's your answer. Could be other reasons too but with not much information it's hard to say.

I suggest you try the Demo of 13 when it's available (should be soon) and see for yourself if the improvements are enough for you. Just my opinion but 13 is miles ahead of 9, and 9 was an amazing version in its own right.

There is no demo for 10 available at their web site. That blows.

You can still download the demo from here.

Every version of OOTP dating back to OOTP2.
