OOTP5: What will you do with it?

Marmel · 02-26-2003, 05:22 PM

OOTP5 is coming soon, and I know many of us are going to buy it within the first few days of release.

So, what do you plan to do when you first get it?

Fictional Dynasty?
Start an online league?
Historical?

I am probably going to create a fictional league similar to an online league I run. I want to run through a few years and see what changes in the game might affect the league I am in.

CamEdwards · 02-26-2003, 05:24 PM

I'll play a fictional league. I just started one a few weeks ago, playing about half the games. Am up to 2013 and am bummed that I'll have to put it away to play OOTP5.

Easy Mac · 02-26-2003, 05:25 PM

Hopefully not throw it in the recycle bin like the last one. Probably still wait 5 months to buy though.

You can always transfer this dynasty from OOTP$ to version 5, Cam.

OOTP $ greatest unintentional post ever. I laugh at this on so many levels.

Thank you. Thank very much!

FBPro · 02-26-2003, 05:45 PM

Play and play and play some more.......Oh, yeah...probably a real player and a fictional league along w/ online leagues.

Kodos · 02-26-2003, 06:34 PM

Since it is baseball, I will ignore it totally.

Draft Dodger · 02-26-2003, 06:39 PM

I will take it to the island with me.

McSweeny · 02-26-2003, 06:42 PM

fictional sounds good to me... mmmmm almost friday, it better kick as much ass as i hope it does

Tarkus · 02-26-2003, 06:50 PM

I have joined that Historical League and I will also play my own fictional league.

McSweeny · 02-26-2003, 06:54 PM

yeah i hope that historical league turns out to be a good time. Seems like we have a good group of people so far

rexalllsc · 02-26-2003, 06:56 PM

I like doing fictional leagues, but they get a bit boring after a bit, and I hate having to name all of the towns and insert the logos, and so on. IOW, I'm getting lazy.

That, coupled with TD finally playable, I doubt I'll get OOTP 5 for a while, if at all (since CM is coming out soon...)

Ksyrup · 02-26-2003, 06:57 PM

I'll start a default fictional league, run about 50 years and start studying the results to make sure they are solid and look like they should.

Then I'll wait for the first patch before I start my first real league, which will be fictional.

Schmidty · 02-26-2003, 07:10 PM

My favorite team is the Tigers, so playing the default league would be too depressing.

Full fictional all the way.

NoMyths · 02-26-2003, 07:16 PM

I'm going to hump it like a llama.

Marmel · 02-26-2003, 07:31 PM

How about the 4 division setup? Sounds pretty interesting to me.

Draft Dodger · 02-26-2003, 07:36 PM

this is a very interesting discussion...

Marmel · 02-26-2003, 07:38 PM

shhhh.

Draft Dodger · 02-26-2003, 07:42 PM

is it still coming out Friday?

Marmel · 02-26-2003, 07:43 PM

I think it is being delayed a week! I just heard it from somebody over at 400!

Draft Dodger · 02-26-2003, 07:44 PM

I heard that too, but the demo is coming out tonight, still, right?

McSweeny · 02-26-2003, 07:48 PM

damn delayed a week!

MizzouRah · 02-27-2003, 12:14 AM

Wait until I hear some reviews/posts about it. If all sounds well, get it and either take on the Cardinals or the Indians in Manage only mode.

Todd

ISiddiqui · 02-27-2003, 12:19 AM

Fictional League, definetly. Especially to try out the 4 division league option.

Then historical!

You could play an historical year. Weren't they good for a year or two at some point?

JeeberD · 02-27-2003, 12:20 AM

I would love to try a historical league. I want to try it with FOF, but I'm too damn scared that I'm gonna screw something up big time. Sounds like it's easy to run on OOTP...
