Purchasing Via Steam

Are there any advantages to purchasing this game via Steam vs purchasing it at the Out of the Park Developments site?

Thanks!

I only have purchased FastSpring, but SteamWorks is a great and easy way to get mods (like logos, jerseys, etc.) in directly without downloading and dropping and renaming and etc.

Also, AFAIK there is a slight bug within the Fastspring version where you're not able to drag and drop players onto lines I think?

Either way, Fastspring say it's on the OOTP side and they are certain it's not, so if that's the sort of thing that might bother you then the Steam version doesn't have that.

Not sure if it's financially any more viable to buy from one or the other in terms of where the money goes!

That's true. I'm so conditioned I haven't tried drag and drop in a really long time. But I just click one player and click a line and it works; I actually like that just fine.

My biggest pro to buying form Steam is the automatic updates. Steamworks is nice but just as easy to install manually.

And as others have mentioned the drag and drop doesn't work on fastspring and only works on Steam and I believe Epic.
