Improvements Everywhere in OOTP 11

These games usually have a slight learning curve to get them where you want to be, but if you have the time, the game is really fun and addictive.

Yes, and has been out for Mac in the past.

After reading through the forums for The Show and 2k10 I am even more convinced that OOTP 11 is once again the way to go and will be the best baseball game this year.

All of the very basic franchise problems in those games pretty much reduce you to playing exhibition games if you want a realistic franchise. And for me at least you need the franchise play for a game to have any sort of lasting appeal.

Not to mention OOTP is a lot cheaper with the current pre-order discount going on...

Runs a dream on the Mac. You don't even need to bother searching for databases to run a historical sim - the Lahmann database is built-in.

To be fair, there was a known Mac glitch last year regarding licenses. An easy workaround existed and was posted: Unlicense the game when patching.

Other than that, it's very Mac-compatible and is a solid game. I was trying to avoid reading up on OOTP 11 only because I've barely scratched the surface in last year's release (a testament to the game's depth). As soon as I read about revamped draft, I knew I needed this year's game.

Oh, and regarding "advanced stats like OPS+ and ERA+" . . . For those interested in something a little more advanced, the game will also include wOBA, FIP and Zone Rating. Here's hoping for UZR too!

Already preordered. Knowing that OOTP is going to be released in APRIL is massive! Now if only I was playing OOTP 11 during opening day games!

I read on the OOTP forums that they are using a different vendor for Mac licenses and so that glitch from last year should be non-existent this year!

I highly suggest the Road-to-Release articles over on OOTP website. It's got me pretty excited to play OOTP 11.
