View Full Version : I heart OOTP4

Since I've come home, I've slowly tried to get back into OOTP and TCY, my favorite text sim games.

Today, OOTP4 made my day.

Playing as the Cardinals, I'm near the end of April. I'm playing the Expos in Montreal on Sunday. The game goes into extra innings and I'm scrambling a bit putting players into the game.

Isringhausen is unavailable due to injury, but I had quite a few other options available.

In the 10th inning, I (LaRussa) get ejected for arguing a double play. In the bottom of the 10th, 2B Fernando Vina gets hurt on a throw to first. In comes Edgar Renteria to play short and Miguel Cairo moves to second. The inning was over, anyway.

In the 11th, Miguel Cairo is due up, but since I'm ejected, all I can do is hit the #1 key. The PC pinch hits for Cairo, with Fernando Vina.

Huh? I thought he left the game. :)

Vina plates Edgar Renteria, and goes back out to play second base in the second half of the inning.

Cardinals win.

Yeah Quick....that's a nice way to refer to OOTP. Never thought of it quite that way though.

Does that imply that Front Office Football is not?

I prefer to use the term 'glorified spreadsheet' for FOF...or any text sim for that matter.

If you want to save yourself sometime, you can also refer to it in short-hand: FAC.

Remember this time-saver when writing haiku, sonnets, or op-ed pieces...

1. I'm missing my latest royalty check for the "FAC" term, and 2. No Virginia, FOF is not a FAC (but Markus *is* Santa Claus).

I (LaRussa)

Ardent,

Don't ever say you and LaRussa in the same sentance again!

Don't you have a better record in 1 run games? :)

Todd,

You're right.

Duly noted.

I thought the term was "colossal spreadsheet" :)
