Go out and buy a lot of paper, Steve's done an amazing job on it this year and has put numerous hours on it. Let's hear it for Steve Battists on the manual.

This should have been more of an over/under poll

Holy crap, if a manual is more then 4 or 5 pages, I just forget about reading it, I guess I have a low attention span.

Well, then you can just use the in-game help. One page at a time .

Honestly, I wrote the darned thing, and I would never dream of printing it out. The Find function is a godsend.

Bear in mind, 75% of the size of the thing has to do with 3 things:

1. Extremely liberal use of screenshots

2. I didn't put much effort into "layout" of the screenshots to maximize text on each page. (For example putting text into a column next to a tall, thin screenshot.)

3. This year's Game Guide incorporates last year's Customization Guide.

I believe you have failed in answering the question

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

Yup, and I was going to set the over/under at 5,000. If it's only around 500, it's gonna seem short now.

Maybe next year..

Didn't battists say that this year he was only going to make the manual available as a microdot?
