So, I'm a dumbass. I can't find my preorder email with license key. Looks like my 2 day pre-release period will be spent waiting for elicense to reply back.

I'm really looking forward to the reaction here. There hasn't been a lot of enthusiasm for the last few text sim releases, hopefully this thread can change the trend on that.

I really hope this turns out well. I haven't been playing text sims for a few years now (save FM) but would love a really good new one. Haven't been able to get into the past few OOTPs - didn't even buy last years - so I've got my fingers crossed.

I haven't played the series since OOTP 6.5. I've got this one preordered and already am signed up for an online league. I'm pretty excited about this release. |

I am interested in hearing people's feedback as well. I was on the beta team again this year, so my perspective of it is fairly skewed partially due to puting in hundreds of hours in testing as well. I really try hard to not come across as a fan boy on anything that I use as it usually is not too helpful in discussions. So I'll just wait and see what other people think. The only thing I'll say is it feels pretty OOTPish to me. For people who liked previous OOTPs , they likely will like this one as well. People who didn't like previous versions of OOTP I doubt they would like this one either.

Hoping the idiots who ran the asylum for the last version were silenced this time. Couldn't do another beta...

Figures the release would come on the day that I'm not home all day. I might be able to give it a whirl at lunch. Did they post the link or mirror sites over at the OOTP site? I still haven't received the download e-mail. |

The mirror sites are listed in the email sent out to people who preordered it. If you didn't receive the email, check your spam filter and if it is not there, I think there is a thread on the ootp board for people to post in (or at least they have been posting in) where Andreas has been resending the emails to them. |

I just simmed the 1st season using the default MLB rosters. Philly repeated playing Tampa (go figure) Philly won the series in 6. KC and Min had to play a one game playoff to decide the winner on the central - KC won and beat NY in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Year two Cinci (93-66) beat Oakland (96-66) in six games

Did Greinke finish the season with a 0.75 ERA?

I ran a test MLB sim out of the box as well, no changes. Here are my regular season results:
Yankees 87-75 Orioles (Wild Card) 84-78 Indians 92-70 (won division by 12 games) Mariners 93-69 (won division by 13 games) Mets 103-59 (won division by 18) Reds 103-59 Brewers 93-69 (Wild Card) Dodgers 84-78 (won division by 2) Leaders: Mauer, MIN .326 BA Fukudome, CHI .342 Snider, TOR 37 HRs Howard/Utley PHI 48 HRs (tied) Cabrera, DET 112 RBIs Utley, PHI 144 RBIs F. Hernandez, SEA 18 Wins Lincecum, SF 21 wins E. Santana, ANA 3.05 ERA Lincecum, SF 2.58 ERA Price, TB 231 K's Lincecum, SF 269 Downs, TOR 40 saves F. Rodgriguez, NYN 48 PLAYOFFS: Yankees vs. Indians Orioles vs. Mariners Dodgers vs. Reds Brewers vs. Mets League Championships: Orioles vs. Yankees Dodgers vs. Mets World Series Yankees- swept the first round, lost just once in the LCS. Dodgers- went the distance with the Reds, won it in six against the Mets. Game 1- 8-4 Dodgers, although the score is misleading. Kuroda held down the Yankees as it was 8-1 going into the bottom of the ninth. Game 2- 6-5 Yankees, bottom of the eighth featured three runs as Teixera hit his second homer of the game. Game 3- 3-1 Yankees on the arm of Wang. 8 innings pitched, 5 hits and 1 earned run. Game 4- 6-5 Dodgers despite Teixera hitting homerun number four for the series. Yankees tied it at five in the top of the eighth but the Dodgers answered in the bottom of the eighth. Game 5- 8-6 Yankees and Teixera hits homerun number five. Can you say World Series MVP? Game 6- Yankees are down 6-1 entering the bottom of the seventh but they put up a six spot as Jeter hits his third homer of the World Series. They ultimately win 8-6 and win (another) World Series. Stupid Yankees. |

Seems like way too many guys starting 35+ games. In fact, only 1 pitcher in 2007 or 2008 made 35 starts - Dontrelle Willis in 2007. For the few years before that, it looks like a half-dozen, tops, made 35 starts. 2003 was the last time anyone made 36 (Maddux and Halladay).

Also - Rich Harden throwing exactly 215.2 innings in consecutive years...um, can I have my money back?

One more stat on the games started issue - since 1996, only 6 times has a pitcher started 36 games. And 2 of those were in 1996. So 4 times in the last 12 years.

Goodie, the first impressions are stats being a hair off, nothing on stability, features working the way they should, things broken in 9 that are fixed now, etc. No wonder these guys (text sim developers) have trouble with everything outside the sim engine, if innings pitched are half a percent off from MLB then we're all screwed!

I don't even have the game downloaded yet, just commenting on what seems to be causing the increased IP numbers. I'm sure if you mess with the injury or fatigue frequency some of those GS numbers would come down. As it stands, the numbers look a bit too 1982 for 2010.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to delete minor leagues but have the players on those teams stick with their MLB parent teams?
I want to use the normal rosters but the 5-6 minor leagues are excessive and slow the game down, I'd rather just go with 2-3 but don't want the teams to lose some of their better prospects... |

"use highest rested starter" might be the reason for the higher games started numbers. Do teams really do that? I would think not..for fear of guys' arms falling off after too many innings (like these numbers you are seeing).

Downloaded. Game is flying this year for Mac. Simmed about 15 seasons in a little over an hour with no hiccups or anything. I always feel a bit overwhelmed with OOTPs release because there is so much to do and I never know where to start. I think I will poke around and get started once everyone goes to work (I wonder if Skydog is going to do his analysis this release?).
