I get (and appreciate) Jim's style after all these years so I know he won't say it, but it'd be so much easier to just say yeah it's going to be multiplayer compatible, if not on release then within a couple months because we know how important a niche multiplayer is, especially among the diehards who populate the forums.
Allowing for customized league configurations is something I assumed we'd see once the partnership with OOTP happened, but still exciting to hear it'll probably be included in the first version. Hopefully it allows for dynamic expansion instead of just being an initial option - I never really understood why FOF2 or 3 had it then it became a non-starter and we were locked into the 32 team league in future releases. (Plus it'll be a big help for TCY2 ) Either way, excited to just get the reminder the game is being worked on and hear the partnership is working out so far on the programming side! |

This morning Andreas confirmed that Facegen will be included, as well as OOTP-style uniforms.

I wonder what percentage of users know what this is about.

Probably surprisingly high at this point in the forum's life

Didn't see an update here so thought I would post an update from Jim in the OOTP forum.

What does he mean by "didn't anticipate the direction the company would take?"

My guess is the Perfect Team stuff. That's a lot more active than the yearly OOTP releases.

In my opinion, it's the worst thing to happen with sim games. You can tell instantly just how much time they've been putting into it. It's all they talk about on the OOTP podcast. It's a dumbing down of the sim game. Pay real money to get players. And then you wonder why their trade engine isn't great, well just throw then $20 and have a chance to get a platinum player!!! |

Not just sim sports games, the sports gaming industry as a whole. VC ruined the NBA 2k series, which was easily the best sports console game ever and was going from strength to strength every year. |

Don't get me wrong, I don't even play Perfect Team, but I'm sure it's been a cash cow for them and they are obviously spending a lot of time on it.

I didn't really understand the situation either and maybe I missed something in one of the other threads/posts. I've been monitoring that board and there's been pressure to provide some sort of update (IMO not unreasonable) because its been silent for so long.
I'm perfectly willing to wait but lack of communications was worrisome. |

I thought we’d have gotten the roster update and schedule patch by now.

Hey, we acquired this game to help out, but we're too busy doing stupid stuff to give it the support we promised. If it were really 95% done, don't you think now would be the good time to actually hold up your side?

The opportunity he talks about seems a lot bigger than just Perfect Team. It sounds like something new that would take the game to a different level of popularity. I don’t know.

I have played perfect team. It is fun to open packs, but after a while every team in the league has the same 89 skill players. Maybe one guy loves the retro players and stacks his team with retro players. You can have a 97 Jacob Degrom and he has a 5 ERA because every player on every team is an all-star. I'll play franchise mode any day over that. |

I agree Mota. Same players and same value players on a lot of teams.
Perfect Team got old real fast for me. |

Same for me. I think I played it for a couple of seasons, then forgot I was even playing.
