It works only if you're totally committed from the word "go". That kind of immersion can scare away people who aren't fully committed upfront, but who could be helped by something more elementary to start with, then become more interested in reading the high-end stuff as they learn. Just a thought.

OOTP mods are somewhat different from mods that are offered for other computer games. Most importantly, OOTP mods don't change the way the game is played. They're not, in other words, user-modded alternate versions of OOTP. Instead, they provide more depth for some of the other aspects of the game, like uniforms, rosters, names, quickstarts, etc. You can play OOTP without ever downloading a mod, but your experience will be more "immersive" if you do.

File a big report on that.

I hope one of these days you can hop the pond and catch a game, and grab a hot dog (though around my area a brat would be more appropriate), a pretzel, and an ale.
Welcome aboard. |

Sir, you really are learning Baseball fast if you intentionally spelled the name of your team the "New York Yankies." *
And from reading this, I can tell that you are HOOKED: Quote:
* I should explain this comment. The New York Yankees are the most successful franchise in Major League Baseball history. Naturally, that incurs the jealousy of baseball fans from other parts of this country, resulting in somewhat infantile references to the New York Hankies, the New York Skankies, etc. By the way, it's Red Sox even though Socks is the correct spelling, of course. Both the Boston and Chicago teams in our American League (which, along with the National League, comprises Major League Baseball) choose to spell the word with an "x" as in the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox. I don't know why.

This post reminds me a lot of myself 4 years ago.
When I discovered OOTP 4 years ago, I had almost zero knowledge of baseball. I'm from Southeast Asia, and I grew up playing basketball. The only baseball I knew was from an old movie about Babe Ruth " The Babe." By watching MLB games on tv, GOOGLing aspects of the game I didn't understand, reading a few books (Baseball for the Utterly Confused & Moneyball), and, of course, reading this forum my knowledge and appreciation of baseball grew by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, though, I still suck at playing OOTP...

this is great stuff. I had the opposite experience basically where I bought FM on a downswing from OOTP and went into it head-first not knowing anything about formations, skills, anything, I'd watched matches on TV at least but knew nothing about soccer. Now, I'm a soccer and FM fanatic.
OOTP will be possibly harder to get a handle on if you don't know baseball, I'd recommend watching some of the World Series this week if you can to try and learn the game itself |

I have to apologise that I wont be updating the post today, and possibly not until Friday now. I have some "real-life" events to deal with and I'll be lucky if I can even squeeze in any gaming today or tomorrow. Thank you all for your kind comments on what I have so far.
