Any chance to get OOTP for xbox one? They need a good baseball game bad!

OOTPD is a small company, so there would have to be a good market available. Going to XBOX would be very risky. And most sports fans want to actually play the games out, not manage them. OOTP is closer to a business management game than a sports game.

I agree X1 needs a baseball game badly (I bought a PS4 last summer because I was so desperate but returned it when I realized it wasn't worth having a system for one game).

But I can't imagine OOTP working on X1, strictly just from a user experience. You need a mouse and keyboard versus controller and at that point what is the point?

A text based baseball game would be anthema to the entire design of a console, from the UI to the control scheme, to the gameplay itself. Nevermind that if you are sitting down on your couch, beer in hand, bag of chips at the ready, you want to knock some dang homers out of the park yourself.

An ITP2 game *might* work on a console.
