Possibly interested in online league?

Mattymo · 06-12-2008, 03:35 PM

Hi everyone...I've been loyal to OOTP since version 3 and I've NEVER played in an online league. I'm interested in a league that doesn't go too fast (I've seen some that sim 15 days/5 days a week) and is established (no brand new leagues).

FYI I have pre-ordered OOTP9.

A couple questions:
Do online leagues take up any more memory than solo leagues?
How much time should I expect to put in (I'm a busy, married guy and don't regularly play OOTP other than 20 mins here and 30 mins there)?
Will someone be able to help me with uploading? I have no idea how that works.

I realize I have a lot of questions, but I don't want to join a league only to a) not be interested in it or b) not be able to keep up.

Online leagues don't take up any more memory than solo, but it depends on what league you get into. Some leagues have photos for every player in the minors, some only the majors. Leagues that use Scouts tend to take up more than leagues that don't.

Generally, you can probably get by with 15-20 minutes, three times per week for most leagues. Though to be more successful you might have to put in more than that to work trades with other owners or to study your team a little more in depth. That's especially true for off-season activities.

Uploading your export is as simple as clicking a button. Same with downloading the newest league file.
