In EHM, it seems like only players who have certain leadership ratings can become coaches, so I would imagine this would be similar. In EHM, toward the end of their careers, you can opt to sign these type of guys as players or coaches/scouts.

the scoreboard with the lineups completely in scoreboard light is offputting, at least right now to me

The ones towards of the download list are a lot faster. I don't remember the one I chose. But I initally chose one of the top ones and it was slow as heck. I chose a bottom one and then it went really fast.

I have it d/l'd @ work and messed with it a bit at lunch. Overwhelming is the only thing I can say after a hour of toying around with it.

Overwhelming is what I thought the first time I ever played EHM, so....I'm actually happier to hear that about OOTP than "OMG, where is this or where is that..." I'm sure that'll come later, but...yeah. Just downloaded my copy and got another license.
I actually got a refund for my preorder (I preordered after the price went up, so it didn't matter..) because I didn't figure I'd be here. But, 3 weeks will be enough to get into and stuff. Here's hoping I get a job here this summer I applied for so I don't have to leave at all.

I just finished reading the impressions thread on the OOTP boards. So sugary, my tooth hurts.
Looking forward to some real impressions... |

Yeah. I expect we will have to wait at least a couple days before anyone really starts to examine the stats engine in depth. The tech support forum does show a fair amount of strange bugs. So, that's something I guess.

Hmmm, I really have the itch to purchase this game, but I want to be sure that there are no show stoppers.
Any plans for an FOFC league?

So am I missing something?
I didn't pre-order (why, I don't know. I intended to get it upon release anyways), but I put in an order this morning, and it still said pre-order. I go to the download page, and it says 'Download Items', but there are no links, and it mentions that the game will be available in Spring of 2006. Do I have to wait because I didn't pre-order, or am I just retarded?

I'm totally off the topic here, but I just discovered something. I've been out here in the Eastern time zone for 10 months now, and I'm still not used to be so far in front of California. Vince says that it's noon, and I flip out when I see 3:00 on my computer screen. Agh.

Like I said earlier in the thread. I'd preordered, but cancelled it because I didn't think I'd be here. But long story short, I ordered a new copy this morning and it worked fine.

On the time zone topic, I had to go to Pensacola, Fl for the Marines a little over a yr ago and for the first week I was there I was still clueless to the fact that it was a different time zone than NY.
Back to OOTP, when exactly is this gonna be available for an idiot like myself who didn't preorder? |

I'm sitting here messing around with this and keep going "wow" Sooo robust featurewise. I'm loving the polished look.

Crap, i'm downloading it at 5kbs so it will take like 40 minutes. I have tried all the links, the top ones are so slow and the later ones are not working right now.

Augh.
I lost my network connection on my laptop about two minutes after getting licensed. What that has meant is that I've been able to play, but not been able to get access to the Internet to post about things I've seen. Even better, this computer is on the same network, but can't detect the other one, so I can't upload and post screenshots of some of the really weird stuff. Just a couple notes off the top of my head before I go back and try to fix my network issues. 1) I had a reliever get credited with both the win and the save. I've only seen it happen once, but he was the pitcher of record when the game's lone run scored in the bottom of the 12th inning, AND he pitched 3 innings of relief, so the game might be tracking both things. That normally wouldn't come up is my guess. 2) You can only put players on the disabled list if you're the parent franchise. Probably as it should be, but I had a couple of injuries in an A-ball career beyond two weeks where, well, I had to live with it, because the parent franchise wasn't inclined to do anything about the injuries. 3) "Send Forced"? Cooooool. Pitch-by-pitch mode as an option? Coooooool. Six hits of combined offense in 12 innings because the game appears to be treating the ratings of minor leaguers as major league equivalencies (i.e. contact of '4' sucks ass even though, well, he's a 19 y/o in Rookie ball)? That's...not so cool. 3) Has anybody yet figured out how, when starting a league, to 'lock' the team nicknames in so that when you choose a particular league, you don't have to rename the teams each time? |

I can't find anywhere to download the damned game even though I just bought it. I keep trying the torrent link, but it won't work. Does anyone have another link to the exe?

Yeah, but for some reason it just hangs, and doesn't d/l anything. I tried another file, and it did the same thing. I'll uninstall it and reinstall. Hopefully that will work. Thanks for the link.
