its terrible. played around with it a bit. too much stuff to run a league unless every GM has the game and the files made for it are shitty.

It is too complex for an online league, and I dont get all the ratings yet because Ive never played a version over 5.0, but its still sick. You can start a league at any point and it inputs draft files for each year after. You can set it so that each year on 1-1 the playes are recalculated to how they performed that year. Im doing a 1986 year for the Giants and using the recalculated ratings. Its quite fun. I have Bonds, Clark, Mitchell and I just drafted Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling! Ill probably upload it at some point just for shits and giggles.

sounds pretty sick.

[Spencer]

It is. I still dont get the ratings, but its because Ive played OOTP 5 for like 5 years and the ratings are completely different.

How realistic are the box scores?

Th actual sim engine is very sick. Stats are very realistic.

How much is it?

OOTP9 is crazy. Been playing around with it for about a week. So much more than OOTP5, it's ridiculous. You can go to a "World" section where you can check out all the countries around the world and find players from China, Japan, etc. You can even change frequency of PD's and make guys last to a later age before they start to take a shit. Looks pretty tough to control in an online league though.

It's normally $40, for the holidays they cut the price to $25.

idk, it seems you can graze the top of that stuff in 6.5, but its just so in depth in 9. Would take forever to start an online league, so many different things for every member to learn first.

I wouldnt even want a league this in depth.
