    Who in the OOTP wants to upgrade to OOTP5?

    Clearly a superior program.

    Mostly those whose opinion don't matter, as the commish says no.

    LOL...bitter??

    I am enjoying my team, buddy, and I am not the one that is always whining about the old sim like your past incarnation did.

    Are you going to try to re-sign your free agents this time now that you are the Yankees or are you going to do nothing?

    Whining? Now who whines again? I'm getting confused.

    Brand new, completely rebuilt artificial intelligence engine, which impacts the game's financial model, player evaluation, trading and roster management


    New Manager Mode allows you to be hired (or fired!) and compile a career as a team manager and/or general manager


    Improved interface, with hyperlinked player and team names


    Support for mouse scroll wheels for roster and statistics browsing


    Game will ship with three different interface 'skins'


    Most reports (including box scores, etc.) will be displayed in separate HTML windows (multiple windows possible)


    Interface sounds and music, in-game stadium ambient sounds


    Optional role-playing element in Manager Mode - date women, marry and build a family, and if you are lucky, maybe raise a son with baseball skills who can enter the draft pool when he's 18-22 years old. Just be careful with your wife - a divorce is expensive!


    Enhanced minor league system with basic team W-L records, better reports and presentation.


    Enhanced importing of historical season data, featuring more accurate ratings calculations, new ballpark effects, and accurate outfield positions


    More robust spring training period


    Complete tracking of career minor league statistics for every player


    Complete tracking of career postseason statistics


    New player development algorithms, resulting in more variability in player development in historical careers


    New team and manager strategy settings, including individual stealing tendencies, setting pitch-counts for pitchers, and staff rotation mode settings


    New Player Tracker lets you keep tabs on any player in the game and quickly see how he is performing


    New simulation options, including the ability to easily simulate multiple seasons at a time


    New and improved importing and exporting tools for transferring rosters and player ratings


    Other enhancement and additions, such as a new star-based player rating system, and new reports such as team power rankings and minor league system rankings

    Well, let's see, Nomar....you spent like 3 months polling people in the chat about re-starting the old sim at Season 11, threatened to quit numerous times because you didn't get your way, and even insinuated that Zac caused the crash on purpose because he was *jealous* of your team.

    Now, even YOU, can see that and not be confused. If you can't, then there is no hope for you. Oh, that is already apparent...never mind!

    Very intriguing upgrades, I'm guessing the role-playing option is not for a massive player sim like the one ran here, right?

    Maybe you should start your own league?

    What if you get a daughter - can she play?

    Or what if the offspring wants to play football or basket or another sport - do you get to see what they do then - or do you have to be a bad parent and limit their options in life?

    'As long as you live under my roof, you play by my rules, or you dont live here at all - now go get your glove and bat!'
