Agree! I'm ready to pre-order but first would love to see something from this game that's coming out in a matter of days.

No disrespect to OOTP Dev, but you shouldn't pre-order any game, ever.
Especially in this case since they have already said you get 10% off the entire first week. Wait for beta feedback and reviews to hit, then you'll have plenty of information to make your decision. |

Or at least some pre-ordering swag. Like an awesome in house uniform/logo set. Only time I pre order is if its really sweet bonus or special pre ordering only discount.
If not no need it'll download as soon as it releases anyway |

Preordering, the bane of the video game industry. Nothing was or has been more important for setting the we'll-release-it-unfinished-and-maybe-fix-later standard.

I agree in principle.
But in practice I've preordered every single OOTP since OOTP X and have never regretted it once. I even have a special part of my budget explicitly set aside for buying OOTP. My best friend asked me what feature I was most excited about in OOTP XX. I told him that there weren't any in particular. But that every year my favorite game in the world gets better, often in ways I wouldn't have known to ask for, and I am very thankful for it. For me, at any rate, OOTP Developments has definitely earned my trust. And my money. |

Everything's about who has the better gimmick in their game, because most board gamers refuse to buy anything that's not from Kickstarter, and Kickstarter backers care about gimmicks and gimmicks alone, because there's no gameplay to go off of. |

For software, the publisher can crank out as many license keys as needed. But I digress... |

I pre order because I have confidence in ootp due to its track record.
I just look at it like helping the release be better if some things are found during the pre release time. Most of us know that no one works harder than Markus and his team to fix any bug or problem as soon as possible after a release. Some game companies never acknowledge the customer. I wont name names but there are game companies that I wont buy a pre release no matter what the discount is. Last edited by BaseballMan; 03-14-2019 at 05:22 PM. |

I'm not a long time OOTP player. I come from a board game background. I played several different OOTP iterations and, honestly, was always disappointed in the stats as compared to my experience with Strat-O-Matic and Replay.
Fast forward to V-18... I play, I might add, single season historical replays ONLY. The game simulation engine, w/ V-18, totally satisfied me and I had "confidence" (and proof in the pudding from my replays) that '61 Maris or '30 Hack Wilson weren't going to provide off the charts stats. In fact Raj hit 60 homers and Hack knocked in 204, 13 more than in real life. With that said, the game presentation, including the out of town scoreboard, the team stats, the old time ballpark creations, the face gen players, the 3-d animations (my favorite!), the post game highlight options.... anyway, what I'm rambling on about is this... I'm a big believer in supporting the designers of my favorite hobby. Even if the OOTP team gave me nothing more than player spray charts in '20, I'd still pre-order, which I did. LOL!! Jack |

The only time I have been disappointed in this franchise is when they decided to use points instead of dollars for player salaries. We even had debates on the forum of how to convert points to money.That killed all the realism for me. Anyone else remember that experiment?

I don't play many video games anymore, but in all my years of playing video games this has been the worst launch I've ever witnessed. OOTP needs to go over how they launched OOTP 20 and do some major overhauling here, this has been offensive. |
