I'd like to clarify something, since some seemed to be almost offended that I put such a feature into OOTP 5...

This is a part of the game that is somewhat "hidden"... you do not need to pay any attention if you don't care! I personally wanted this feature in there because I like the idea of managing your virtual son and see him rise through the minors and make his big league debut. And I had some fun developing and testing it!

AGAIN, this is a feature that doesn't need any attention if you do not care!

Oh, I forgot to mention that those houses and cars will not be part of it... I planned it but it makes no sense at all!

I think that sounds like a cool idea. If u don't want it just ignore it just like any other fictional player i imagine... I like the idea Markus

Ah man... I wanted to buy my house of Porsches. After winning championships... Getting traded to some good struggling team and get paid so much I get to own my own air planes and other cool things.....

Shane I see you trying to be the Shawn Kemp of OOTP :P

holyroller · 01-21-2003, 01:59 PM

He didn't say he wanted 15 kids

sporr · 01-21-2003, 02:02 PM

Not that I would claim at least

First OOTP5 "Challenge" manage a team who's roster is comprised entirely of your own progeny.

JWay · 01-21-2003, 02:15 PM

Reading a book on Wilt Chamberlin gives you some skills right?

Actually that would be the second challenge. The first would be finding a woman who would be willing to bear that many!

ZouDave · 01-21-2003, 04:01 PM

nobody said it had to be ONE woman....... ;-)

JWay · 01-21-2003, 04:01 PM

exactly

HolyCow98 · 01-22-2003, 12:37 AM

All I have to say is............LOL

holyroller · 01-22-2003, 01:32 AM

You realize that is copyrighted don't you?

Sim Rat · 01-22-2003, 06:11 AM

Will we be able to turn this feature off completely? Quite frankly, I'm still having a hard time believing that this is for real. This has to be a joke, right? If not, I would prefer not to have it happening in my game at all. So I hope this is something we can turn off.

satchel · 01-22-2003, 12:05 PM

Even if I don’t like it, as long as I can toggle it ‘off’ it won’t hurt me.

The Rat Speaks!

You might want to refer to Markus' previous answer to your question on that subject, SimRat.

It can be ignored..for those that do not like it. I am in favor of it, but then again, I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Always willing to try something first before I have an opinion either way.

Hubertdd1 · 01-22-2003, 03:58 PM

I would think this would actually be a quite interesting option. I would be all for it and atleast would like to see it in action.

It would add some more realism;

However there should definately be a toggle on off button for it;
