New OOTP website online!

Markus Heinsohn · 01-28-2011, 08:02 AM

Okay, we've redesigned our OOTP website

It currently still focuses on OOTP 11, but this will change when we're closer to releasing OOTP 12.

Here it is:
Out of the Park Baseball: Home

Let us know how you like the design! The main goal is to show people, who do not know the game, what OOTP is in general, what it features and how good it is. I hope it does that job well

Thanks,
Markus

Very Slick! I like it!!

TribeFanInNC · 01-28-2011, 08:48 AM

Me too! I like the clipboard.

Looks great. One thing, don't you think it would be better to use an Apple logo to advertise to the Mac users? I recognize it but I am also a long time Apple user. Just wondering if everyone else would?

RandyTiger · 01-28-2011, 09:07 AM

Very slick and professionally done, guys. I love it!

Charlie Hough · 01-28-2011, 09:16 AM

Looks good!

Kudos to Daniela Di Lena, who created all the graphics and the design: Daniela Di Lena // Kommunikationsdesign

Very impressive!

Reminds me of High School baseball.

But I would remove the white space that filles up 50% of the page (if you keep scrolling down past clipboard). I would blend the baseball field to a brown that is close to the crushed brick brown color... just blend the lower 10% or so of the field to the bg color brown.

What browser do you use? There's no white space here below the background, it fills the complete website (Firefox).

OOTP has a website?!?! I've only gone to the forums...

I'm on Chrome and it looks fine.

IE shows lots of white space below the background.

Just checked it with IE 6 - confirmed, it does. Doesn't with FF.

Same here.

Love the look of the website!

fhomess · 01-28-2011, 10:55 AM

I get the whitespace in IE8.

As for the design, it's clean and clear, but I'm not a fan of the clipboard and pencil. To me it says, "this game is for stats geeks". Perhaps that's true, but I'm not sure it'd convince a more casual gamer to give it a try.

see screenshot of IE 8

Dreifort · 01-28-2011, 10:58 AM

I suggest blending it to a color bg...it would look a little nicer.

MizzouRah · 01-28-2011, 11:04 AM

Very nice!
