meh hate it...so you're taking goats out the draft. drafts are trash as it is when you make a future hof like cc the 4th best prospect. oh well. PITA to manage too and I messed up with the Cubs a few seasons ago. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't do this for sure. I blame Jeremy (LAD GM from a while back) for the idea He just wanted koufax. Lol got him a couple championships

The second he was actually going to be tasked with building a team without retaining 80+% of his last team, he bailed.

Obviously fpr wouldn't be in restart and could put in tanking measures, cash rule, etc, right away. That and Brian has found way to edit classes quicker so no longer waits. Only issue is - would you have enough teams with GMs that actually check the site?

So everyone stays gmimg like they always would.

The league should just restart whenever Mike Trout retires

Yea I'm already gearing up for a restart even if it's 3-4 years away. Just need to think about what year. If 1953 again then we're talking about half the teams lol. I might restart in 1961 or something like that. I dunno. Then is it ootp5 or oopt8? Either way trim back several gimmicky rules. I still like points system but only for reversals of first round picks maybe. Then annual camps in lieu of ST.

Maybe limited reversals for all. Limited upgrades for all.
5 reversals per year. A certain amount of talent increases.

The one thing Id really wanna focus on if were gonna do extras is financials that are based solely on wins and losses. If you win consistently you make money. If you tank you lose fans.

If we’re going to consider changing versions I’d really prefer a much newer version than 8. And I know it seems like they are too complicated, they aren’t. I bought a few and stuggled and didn’t play them then I took a couple of hours to reach myself, they are so much better than what we use now. You wouldn’t think just having a back button would b a big deal, but it makes things so much quicker. Everything u possibly need is there and quick. And it’s it a $ thing, I think u can get 22 right now for $5. I’d love it if some/all of u guys just dropped $5 and spent a couple hours on it and give it a try.

New version relies too much on scouts Turn the scouts off and make it 100% accurate while still using the game engine for development. Then every team has a level playing field.

I've always been hesitant, just because I didn't want to have to learn the new game and all it's nuances. But at this point I'm bored with OOTP5 and need something new to keep me interested I think.

It's an adjustment definitely but worth it. No idea it was $5 - I'll be getting it. The other option is 6. It looks a lot like 5 with the windowed view. I have no idea how much it is, its not free. Has Rule 5 draft, 40 man, waivers, options. It also has a good amount of customization, newer lahman, newer export trackers, etc. Not sure you can do away with stars in 5, but that'd be a challenge.

I’ve never paid money for OOTP, rather not start now, but if i had to do it I guess I’d rather do it with a league already in place.
Main question is does it work on a MacBook? Right now I think I’m using some proxy thing to make 5 work (I think maybe from Dave Horn in HFTC?) but I’m definitely not technically savvy enough to set it up with a new version.
