I would love to buy one computer and be done with it for life. But when you use technology it does not work like that. You can buy a 8 GB iPod touch 4 for $229 It has the exact same hardware and screen as an iPhone. Hell it is an iPhone without the ability to call or text |

When you play that game with the current version it actually has more players in it now than those PC products had in their day (with the same leagues active and a 'normal' database size selected on the PC products). Simply put handheld devices are pretty darn funky these days |

If this is the case then since I know that you were able to make such a large database available for all devices it seems like they should be able to find a way to cut down on the memory usage for IOOTP or to accommodate it into the older devices somehow. This game is already not getting released before opening day obviously because opening day has passed. So I don't see the need to rush this out there if things like this can be fixed up. |

Do also bear in mind that FMHi isn't quite as 'stat happy' as OOTP is - as such the database mining required to display pages and memory required hold the game data is far less than is likely to be the case for OOTPi. (I was just giving an example to show that iPhone games today are a far cry from the relatively simplistic phone games of a few years ago) Quote:
I'm sure if its possible to support the older devices Markus will do so and I expect that the decision not to do so wasn't taken lightly (most likely simply because he thought the game wasn't as good as it could be on them due to speed/responsiveness) - but I'm putting words into his mouth here and guessing tbh - so better wait for Markus to reply himself. |

I am really looking forward to trying this out. I used to be a fan of OOTP, but after the merge with SI, I didn't enjoy it anymore. I came back for last year's version of the game and while it was OK, I figured it would be the last one I ever bought.
But this sounds like a perfect fit for me, and the prices on iApps are great! No more $30-$40 PC baseball games needed!

Sooner or later, older devices stop running newer things and sooner or later, developers have to move on.

As far as I know (Marc, maybe you can jump in) Apple dropped the support for old devices with the new iOS 4.3?

However its entirely possible to build applications to support older devices and iOS revisions if you're careful/sensible. |
