Having said that, if the worst result is only forum verbal exchanges or the occasional assault on one another's opinions, then what's changed really? We'll survive, and to Markus' credit, he eventually arrives at his decisions based on his own desires for his game, tempered in part by the voices of the audience and the beta group. Given the virtual chasm separating all of the various temperaments involved in this creation, he continues to do a remarkable job. Again, my

The only way a 3d engine could ruin the game is if the 3d engine starts dictating the results based on physics. As long as OOTP's sim engine continues to be the one generating the results, it shoudn't have any impact on the game.

And OOTP is turning a text sim into a graphics game. Watch and see. Way too many things can go very wrong for a game when it converts to a graphics game. Waaaay too many things. I will continue to hope for the best and expect the worst.

Considering all 3D options are just that... OPTIONS, I don't understand the concern even the slightest bit. Especially considering this isn't Markus's direct area of focus.
Onward and upward. |

Unlike you, I believe Markus knows exactly what he is doing, and I am 100 percent behind it because I completely understand what it means and what it can do. Last edited by conception; 02-01-2014 at 04:46 PM. |

I think what The Wolf is imagining is that eventually it won't be an option, and that somehow OOTP is going to morph into MLB 2k18.

Honestly the whole company can go under tomorrow and I'd be pleased playing OOTP 14 forever. I have a quality product to play the rest of my life that I never could have even dreamed as a possibility when I was a kid.
Then again though I have complete and total faith in Markus that he won't ruin this game by adding optional graphics in future editions. |

To be honest I'd be perfectly fine if it did that. I appreciate that most wouldn't however lol.

3D graphical games are almost always driven by their 3D graphics.
I worry about the game itself being neglected in favor of shiny objects.

I'd argue that 3d graphics have only had a positive effect of FM. Don't see why it'd be any different for OOTP.

Do you think he'll just sit back counting the money in the mean time instead of working on new features and improving the AI? I don't understand where you are coming from I mean. It's not as if he has any plans to abandon the game's initial intentions and turn it into an arcade style 2k disaster. From my understanding, just as was with iOOTP and the hockey game, he'll oversee the project but actually won't be spending his time working on these things himself. So what is going to be neglected? |

I'm glad this conversation is getting out in the open now.
I would just like to know what feature, besides some sort or minimal 3d representation of the game that is not currently in OOTP, has the ability to drive sales and influence new customers ? Sorry, but I don't think people are out there not buying OOTP right now because the game doesn't have the minor league playoff formats correct from 1957. Everything that is added to the game minus graphical game representation is just stuff to soothe the already paying customers, not lure new ones. Markus has the potential to make OOTP like football manager in my opinion. Did graphics kill football manager?

I don't know anything about football manager but I do know that 3D graphics, if done right, will be extremely cool. Now the pbp is like listening to the game on the radio. With 3D graphics it'll be like watching it on tv. Line drive to right center. The right fielder runs over to get it and throws the ball to the second baseman. In the meantime the batter has rounded first and is heading to second. He slides about the same time the ball hits the second baseman's glove. Bang Bang. The umpire calls the play. Out? Save? This will be great and I've been looking for this game for years. I only hope it gets here soon. At my age, every year counts.
