Pointer · 05-04-2011, 07:01 PM

Downloading now!!!! First ever purchase of iOOTP?

Just bought it, sooooo excited to have this at last. Looking great so far!

My iPad is waiting. Midnight cannot get here fast enough.

RPage · 05-04-2011, 09:29 PM

Ok so I have never waited on an App before. Are you telling me it will be available at midnight in each time zone ?

I have been playing OOTP on my iPad for some time, via Log Me In. I just don't think tomorrow is going to be very productive for most of us...

It will be incredibly productive for me--it will be the first time I've played any baseball sim since maybe 2007. I can't wait to dive into making mods for this thing.

To those who have inserted real team logos into the game, do you have to start a new career for these to appear, or are the logos updated even in a career-in-progress?

I'm going to try this out tonight... Do the logos need to be re-sized or iOOTP? If not, then there really isn't a need for people to create logo mods. They can just use this app and the existing logo packs...

For those who have jailbroken the phones and have a UNIX background, you can also SSH into the phone and move files around that way.

Just an FYI-- excited to see the game tomorrow!

Yeah that's basically it, although I think the US store is just on one time zone (probably the earliest).

I used a logo pack and did not resize them. Worked just fine for me!

The same thing has happened to me. When it does, I just close and reopen the program.

rudel.dietrich · 05-04-2011, 11:16 PM

I am in NYC for the week and I just looked an the game is available. So it must be out in the US app store.

Buying now

Scrooge · 05-04-2011, 11:19 PM

Just saw it on the store, but it's iPhone only. Not going to buy, because playing a game like this on the iPhone sucks. This is a game that must be released on the iPad and I would pay $39.99 (same price as on the computer) right now if they offered it. $4.99 is great, but playing a game like this on the iPhone -- sucks. Fingers are too big.

You will just be playing on tiny screen on the iPad. The 2X thing is lame.

Beauty of Android -- everything still gets bumped to full screen, just not fully optimized. To get this on Apple -- you gotta jailbreak.

rudel.dietrich · 05-04-2011, 11:24 PM

I am getting an iPad 2 Friday before I return to Germany. I will report back with how the game plays on iPad.

It will play fine ... just not full screen.

It looks surprisingly good for iOOTP in my opinion, we've tested this

Anyway, we'll make a free universal update natively supporting the iPad later this year!

Bought! Congrats Markus!
