Release Date & Purchasing Options?
This is going to be my first year picking this game up as soon as I can but I can't find a release daye anywhere. Is there stores I could Ho to and find out when it will be released and any idea what stores carry this game? I've never seen it in a best buy.

You wont find it in stores. Look at the top left of your browser where it says "OOTP 13 announced... ..."

Early April is the targeted release date, there is no specific one yet. Once beta testing is close to being finished, we'll release an exact date.

I kinda wish enough people were into text based simes where we could all camp out waiting for the release at our favorite stores. But we have it almost better where we will camp out on the message boards. lol

Doesn't matter if you pre-order or not, you'll receive an email when the game is released. Some people (those who pre-ordered) will receive their email 3 days early.

Well, here I am again on the OOTP forum checking out info on the next release. I'll be honest, I didn't buy version 12, (sorry Markus, and I really mean that.) I think the reason for not buying 12 was because I was pretty satisfied with 11. Version 12 had some nice new features, but none that I just had to have. I'm interested in what 13 will have.
I'm almost ashamed to admit I didn't buy version 12 btw. I feel like a traitor. |

Why, we oughta....
No worries, kc. Good to have you back around. Good that the game was so satisfying to you with the previous version. I'm guessing you'll find a great deal that adds to your world this time around. I'd tell you to let us know your thoughts, but that'd happen anyway. Quote:

Thanks guys. Nice to see the old faces (avatars) still around.
I just read through the new features in version 13 that have been announced so far, and I do really like a few of them. I like all of them, but a few of them are really nice. Like breaking up the players history into different sections making them "easier to read" and the improved trading AI. The improved AI trading is a big one for me. In the past, I just have found it kind of easy to trade, or I should say "trick" the AI into giving me their best young prospect or maybe trading me their next couple years of #1 draft picks for an older player. The trading with a AI team was much improved in version 11, so it was heading in the right direction, so I'm hoping Markus nailed it in version 13. The reason being I find it hard to not try to cheat a AI controlled team while trading because I'm such a disturbed person. |

Of course... we'll kick off our "Road to Release" soon which will feature 5-6 newsletters explaining some of the new features in detail!

Thanks for helping me with the release date.
Back in January I bought the 12 version and really enjoy the game. I have alot to learn about this game. I got 12 to get a feel for what the newest version would be like. I love the detail of the game and love the feel of being a GM. Question - Is there an NFL game like this? I would love a game like that too. |

I seem to remember that in a previous version you could also import data from two versions back. It would be nice for people like kckid4u to have this feature available again in OOTP-13. Note: I bought last year's version so this won't be a problem for me.

It's not a problem anyway for anyone who skipped a version since all they have to do is download the demo of the skipped version and import their league, then import into the new one. |

Heh. I always think of a rabbi at the Wailing Wall. Every time. I have to mentally correct myself that it is a depiction of a cheap fan viewing a ballgame through a knothole in the fence. I think.

This will be my first time posting here and I actually registered to weigh in on this topic. The question was asked about the release date for Out of the Park Baseball 13 and is the topic of the thread here. Some act as if Out of the Park Baseball has never been sold in retail brick and mortar stores which is false. I have been playing OOTP11 and it was distributed by Viva Media. I was disappointed that OOTP12 was not stocked in the brick and mortar stores. It should also be noted that a previous edition of the game was renamed Season Ticket Baseball which was my first experience with the series. I don't what Out of the Park version this was and I think there was more than one year produced using that name. Best Buy was the store that I bought OOTP11 in.
I would like to direct a question to Markus only. Can we expect to see this years edition in the brick and mortar stores or any future editions via that method? I simply prefer to purchase that way. Edition 13 looks great and I have had a great experience with number 11. I would even support buying game cards at retail to download the game. I would just like a definitive answer from Markus whether it will be in retail stores not other users opinions about it. Thank you for the feedback in advance and I would forward to getting #13 in my hands. Last edited by agfan1; 03-08-2012 at 06:38 PM. |
