For some reason the quick start file is corrupt for me. Anyone else having this problem?

YP, I'm working on some nice settings to use for a fictional league.

I've seen your postings and I'm definitely going to look at this. Good stuff.

Re: Out Of The Park Baseball 9 Released

I've re-packaged and made some tweaks to the Quick Start league. You can find the new version here:

Re: Out Of The Park Baseball 9 Released

So, do you just download the game and buy it from there? Doesnt this open a greater chance to people just figuring out the code, punching it in, and cracking it?

Doesnt seem like good business.


Good game, though?

E-License distribution is outstanding. No waiting for the game to arrive at the store or in the mail, and no need to keep up with a CD. You download and purchase. And no, it's not bad business or terribly insecure. Every purchaser is given a unique license that is only valid for two machines at a time. Most purchasers install one on a home machine and one on laptop or work machine. (I travel some for work, so I have several E-Licensed games on my laptop for those evenings in hotel rooms.) So anyway, the most anyone could ever do would be to find one unique license. Sharing it would be useless, since every purchaser is using at least one of their two licenses, and most are using both.

Great game. It has just a few kinks that need to be worked out, but it's outstanding.

More info on my Quick Start league...

NABA OVERVIEW

The North American Baseball Alliance is a ready-to-go Quick Start league with 24 teams, 2 leagues, 6 teams in each division. The idea behind it was to create a league with teams in relatively large cities in North America, with nicknames and logos that are tied in some way to the city, thus making them easier to associate. Here's the league structure, along with stadium info for the teams:

The "OVL" field in the table above represents the overall net effect of the park's factors, with the details out to the right. A value of 1.000 in OVL would correlate to a ballpark in which stats that are about average for the league are producted. Anything above 1.05, and that stadium will probably be a noticeable hitters' park. Anything below 0.95, and you're looking at a pitchers' park.


I'm not particularly good at unis, but here's a sampling.

EASTERN CIRCUIT, NORTHEAST DIVISION

(Baltimore Blue Claws, Massachusetts Pilgrims, New York Enforcers, Philadelphia Freedom, Toronto Fire, Washington Federals)

EASTERN CIRCUIT, SOUTHEAST DIVISION

(Charlotte Cougars, Georgia Rattlesnakes, Havan Pirates, Lowcountry Gators, Nashville Hawks, Orlando Seminoles)

WESTERN CIRCUIT, COASTAL DIVISION

(Los Angeles Whales, Oakland Black Knights, San Diego Sunshine, San Francisco Gold Rush, Seattle Steelheads, Vancouver Lumberjacks)

WESTERN CIRCUIT, SOUTHWEST DIVISION

(Dallas Oil Kings, Houston Lone Stars, Lousiana Crawfish, Mexico City Aztecs, Oklahoma City Tornado, Phoenix Apaches)

EXPANSION TEAMS AVAILABLE TO DATE

(Columbus Mudcats (SE DIVISION), Pittsburgh Coal Miners (NE DIVISON))

Re: Out Of The Park Baseball 9 Released

Well I've been wavering back and forth the last couple weeks on picking this up, but with the $10 discount, I went ahead and bought it tonight.


Other than the main OOTP site, are there any forums or websites I should keep up with? Any "must haves" that I need to download?

Re: Out Of The Park Baseball 9 Released

Hmmm.... So I downloaded the game and then bought a license online from an independent site and it was BS. So Im out 20$ and now I gotta buy a license from the site. Frig.

Cant afford it now, so I'll have to wait a while before I can buy it.

Man, dude, Ben even explained the online process and why something like that wouldn't work.

I'm sorry that you got jerked around like that but with e-license there is no indepedent site that is going to help you out here. You either get the game from the OOTP site or you get it from Steam (that is new as of about two weeks ago).

Best I can say is giving e-license a call and seeing what they can do. Were you given a fake license or...well, what exactly happened here?

Has anyone been able to access the OOTP forums? I've been unable to connect for over a day now.
