I have just purchased OOTP5. I cannot wait for tomorrow.

Please, please, get sick tonight. I'm definately going to basketball without a coat! :D

I thought this was a thread about the CM4 demo!!!

ANyone know how big of a download it will be?

Around 20 meg or so.

sheesh... i tell myself to wait for the reviews before i dowload it and here i go and buy it before i can even play it. Stupid debit card burning a hole in my pants

Got it! Well, my Order ID, anyway. Looking forward to tomorrow night.

Be sure to start a 25 page OOTP5 Thoughts and Discussion again. ;) This time I might buy the game, if I can get the faster internet connection.

That's Skydog's job. As long as he's up to it.

SD said he wouldn't be around until Sunday, I think.

Just be suret o include the word "Boyz" in the title so we can all locate it quickly!

With all of this hype and pent up enthusiasm, I really, really hope expections will be met.

Seeing as though I enjoyed OOTP4, I'm sure this game will not disappoint me. As for others...?

I'm thinking that I'll be too busy during the day tomorrow to give it a look, but I can start the thread at 10:00AM and let others give the opinions.

You have to start though SkyDog. It just wouldn't be right if someone else started it. :)

I don't know what you guys are seeing but the website my browser finds says it will be available March 2003, with no specific date.

OOTP5

I hope their football game looks as good as the OOTP. I don't even like playing baseball sims but that one almost makes me. :D

I think OOTP4 is the best sports sim I've ever played (and I've played quite a few). It sure looks like version 5 is a big step forward, so I'm pretty stoked.

My one request is that I hope it is more difficult than v4. Right now, I have to institue quite a few house rules to make it interesting (but this is a pretty common problem with sports sims).

OOTP is the best? try CM my man, try CM

Good point. I haven't played that one yet, even though many people claim it rocks. I don't have any interest whatsoever in soccer, though. For that reason, I've held off. Part of me thinks I may enjoy it anyway, but I'm waiting for the demo before I give it a try.

i too had very little interest in soccer before i picked up CM. But now i'm a total junkie. Try the CM4 demo when it comes out tomorrow, i know i can't wait for it


Sorry to threadjack, back to OOTP5

my loins are again quivering in anticipation

just 10 hours now little man

Yeah, I've been looking forward to downloading the CM demo tomorrow too.


Weird that they're available the same day.


[Dame Edna] That's spooooky! [/Dame Edna]

Woo Hoo!

100 posts!

Okay so I'm lame.

man if OOTP5 lives up to all this hype... i really hope this is the version that puts it over the top

I really like the looks of the new HTML reports and the almanac feature. I want my league history well organized. If these deliver as promised, I'll be happy.

YAY!!

This makes me happy... I'll be downloading tomorrow :D.

:confused: I am very confused. I keep going to the download site and it keeps saying it won't be available until March. Where are you guys getting this tomorrow download thing? :confused:

just under 7 hours left on the count down clock. And dont worry that it says "Out of the Park Park Baseball 5 will be released March 2003". It will be out at 10 AM est, THIS morning! :D

Yeah, I bought my copy as well last night.

I like .400 products so far, cuz I know that if there is some serious issue, they will always release a patch to fix it.

I looking forward to playing OOTP5.

Two words : More Stats !!!!

I read this game will keep career playoff stats as well as career minor league stats. Thats awsome!! nothing like looking at the stats of a career minor leaguer or the career playoff stats of a vet superstar.

Minor League Option Years
 

I hadn't seen mention of this feature yet. That's goign to actually make me consider getting OOTP5.

I'm going to hold off until I see how the feature is implemented, but it's a step in the right direction.

Now if Markus adds the 40-man roster and real waiver claims, I'll be first in line.

I think the only step in those directions is an option to allow veterans to refuse assignment to the minors. I think it needs to go further, but that's a step.

Also, arbitration is in the game, at least as far as I know. Rather than having a "hearing" and all of that, I think an arbitrator sets a salary automatically. Not sure how this works, though - whether it replaces a portion of the previous 5 years/$100K contract or comes after the 5 years, how well it takes into account performance in determining the arbitration salary, etc. We'll just have to see.

I really hope the release is better than TDCB's horrible release.

It will be, if only for the reason that this is a 5th generation game.

Dola. BTW, in your sig, shouldn't that read self-discipline?

Ask Easy, I'm the Sig Nazi!

crap... not a big surprise, but I guess they're getting nailed, 9:59 and everything crashed :(

I'm talking to Stallings via instant messenger right now. He says the crash issues won't be long.

sweet deal

Ha, shorty, I told you!

Heh.

That's gotta be the least surprising crash I've ever seen.

Thanks for the info, I guess we can all wait an another half hour or so, although I am starting to shake from withdraw.

must... have... ootp5 :D

It'd probably go a lot quicker if you'd stop interrupting him! :p

Tarkus

Actually it sounds like he's not doing much himself. He just said he's about to call Markus. If there are any problems that look to last more than a few more minutes, he says he'll give me an announcement to post over here.

Argh.. no OOTP5.. Will..to..live.. fading... :)

enjoy some Tetris to pass the time :)
