OOTP 3, if I remember correctly. Actually won it a pre-launch party at the ESPN Zone in Atlanta. I answered a trivia question that I believe involved Bob Horner.

Found out about the game right before 12 came out, played the tutorial of 11. Been hooked ever since.

mm7607 · 04-13-2013, 07:40 PM

Version 1. Missed version 5 and 6. But still have the rest on my PC somewhere.

LeiterFanatic · 04-13-2013, 08:57 PM

Version 2. Liked 4 alot. Loved folding OOTP5 into ITP. 6.5 though was the best to me, just for fun sake.

Since OOTP 8

HolyCow98 · 04-13-2013, 09:40 PM

For me it was version 3 thru OOTP X. Skipped 11 and 12. Got the itch again watching the World Baseball Classic and grabbed 13. I sense I'll be buying every version again, at least for a few years.

mars001 · 04-13-2013, 09:41 PM

I started with version 4, on my honeymoon in Hawaii (bad idea)!

MizzouRah · 04-13-2013, 09:42 PM

Since v2

hopeful1212 · 04-13-2013, 09:48 PM

6.5 for me I think. Or maybe it was 6, not sure.

I skipped a couple versions I think, then have bought every one from 9 to the present.

6.5 was sweet, but 10 and on have been even better.

OOTP 2

BBpro before discovering OOTP and was blown away by the idea of HTML reports for every player in the league!

DreamTeams · 04-13-2013, 10:04 PM

Since ootp2.

redranger · 04-13-2013, 10:06 PM

Since OOTP2....been hooked ever since. I have probably played 10,000 games over the course of this timeframe....maybe more.

Doing the math, probably equates to around 4 cents per game or overall hour played....Talk about monies worth.

I love the threads where folks stress on spending $40 on the game, not having played it before. I just kinda chuckle and think "that will be the best $40 you ever spend"

OOTP 3 for me thought I wouldn't buy this year but a course I did...

CHOWDERHEAD · 04-13-2013, 11:24 PM

v4 - really messed up my last year of undergrad.

The Game · 04-13-2013, 11:54 PM

Just since 11, Still have 11 & 12 on my PC but thats because all my fictional league were created on 11 using the txts and i have yet to figure out how to successfully edit the World Default .xml. Still playing 13 for another week or so.

Pacoheadley · 04-14-2013, 12:04 AM

I think that I started with OOTP 10, but I can't remember if I only played the demo of that and bought 11, or if I bought 10 itself.

256 total for version 1, to near 7k (i thought i read that number) pre-orders! Great job Markus building a better product each and every year!

now, since there was only 256 surely there are documents to confirm who on the forums have been here since version 1

Me, started with 6.5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14

haha, my wife says, "all you do is sit there and stare at numbers for hours", which technically she isn't wrong, but we all know there is soooooooooo much more to OOTP than numbers!

OOTP 3 for me.
