Starting an impressions thread and not being able to make any impressions because you do NOT have the game yet is just plain stupid period->>.

My first impression is that a day is too long to wait. Argh.
(and yes, I did pre-order) (in mid-March. I'm a moron, what can I say?) |

I suppose. I checked the website, and it still indicated pre-orders, so I was assuming it wasn't available yet. Seeing two more posts to that nature, well... You have my apologies, sir. |

As I understand things currently people who pre-ordered are allowed to download, once a short period of them having 'exclusivity' the website will updated and people will be able to download as they purchase.

The game is overwhelming, the same feeling I had when I beta'd for three days.
I consider myself an average player of OOTP, I like things to be quick and easy and I'm not really getting that feeling with this one. Oh, well. With time, I suppose. The depth is insane. I'm going to be pissed when a few of my players get called up to their respective ML squads(I took a job in AAA to start out). |

Yes. We felt including this in the package might be a little off putting so we cut it down a bit but the big one will go out on the site later. |

That said, I realize that "too much depth" is probably not something most text-simmers will complain about.

I wouldn't disagree that it's overwhelming but it will be second nature soon enough when you learn where everything is and how it all fits together. |

Initial thoughts - it doesn't seem like there's any way to change your mind on how many minor leagues to add short of starting the process over again. You can remove the major leagues, but the only option I see for the minors is to add them.
So, uh, I'm playing MLB with a full minor league contingent. Hopefully my PC doesn't choke on that. So far so good. |

One question - can you add additional teams to leagues after you've already began? I have visions to expand the NPB

Ok, just some quick issues to note:
The screen is really busy. No unused space whatso ever. Makes me long for the day where in FM it was just the field and folks running around Unless you go to the screen that has the schedule, and you hit Continue, it will auto sim games for you (unless you hit the manage button)

I preordered too. But barring any late developments, I'll be gone in two weeks from the summer. So, I won't get to play much at all. That annoys me, but..at least its here.

Does each team have a coaching staff, a la EHM? I want to be able to hire former players as my managers, hitting coaches, bench coach, etc.

Each team does Swaggs, according to the ootp boards. Former players do come back and coach, but not sure if it is all players

It shouldn't be all players - its not in real life, I mean imagine Dave Telgheder as your pitching coach...
