Are you buying ITP?

mtaystl03 · 12-18-2003, 08:32 PM

I am. Smartest thing they did was make it $20, almost anything is worth a try when its cheap! Im excited for this one, could revolutionize the industry.

VPI97 · 12-18-2003, 08:35 PM

Eaglesfan27 · 12-18-2003, 08:36 PM

I'll admit the 20 dollar price tag is intriguing, but I will probably wait for little bit as I have enough games to keep me busy for the moment. However, I'm pretty sure I'll purchase it at some point in the future.

Ben E Lou · 12-18-2003, 08:39 PM

Eventually I probably will. Right now, between testing TPF, playing FOF2K4, and playing FBCB, I don't have time to immerse myself in another game.

That being said, I've got a good bit of dead time over the holidays, so I wouldn't be surprised if I grab it at some point between now and the New Year.

yabanci · 12-18-2003, 08:44 PM

$34 - very doubtful
$20 - definite maybe, waiting to see how people react to it

They made a smart move on pricing IMO.

Draft Dodger · 12-18-2003, 09:00 PM

I didn't think it would be my cup of tea, but it's a pretty cool game.

MizzouRah · 12-18-2003, 09:04 PM

Too many games to play for me right now to get it, but it's an option when spring training starts!

Yeah i will, i'm not a huge baseball fan as i haven't ever payed enought atention to it so i don't underestand all the rules and strategies but for next season i plan on learning all about baseball, watch matches and then buy ootp6.
By now i like the concept of being "inside the park", i think it could be funny so i have my credit card ready now near my pc.

mtaystl03 · 12-18-2003, 09:10 PM

I got a question. How in depth does it go? Do you see every single at bat of your career? Do you actually go pitch by pitch and try to guess the pitch and do things with your at-bats???

FrogMan · 12-18-2003, 09:13 PM

There's a pretty good chance I will buy it. Won't happen on release day, as I have way too much to do until Christmas day, but I'm off from work from tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 until Monday January 5th.

With the wife not moving as swiftly as she used to, being in her 38th week of pregnancy, we won't be visiting relatives too much, so plenty of time for me to play FOF and try out other games

I love the contracts negotiation screen but almost puked when I saw the Sports Bar and Workout Palace screens.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-18-2003, 09:34 PM

Doesn't really look like my cuppa tea.

Fonzie · 12-18-2003, 09:43 PM

I'm in.

Radii · 12-18-2003, 09:46 PM

Looks like a ton of fun, I'm actually kinda excited about it

Karim · 12-18-2003, 09:52 PM

No. I'll be buying TPF followed by EHM:FE.

Ragone · 12-18-2003, 09:53 PM

Yea.. the price and the new genre makes it a buy for me..

Whoa! Do you do this for a living or something?

I can only get away w/ a 1/2 hr. here and a 1/2 hr. there before my wife get's on my case.

tucker342 · 12-18-2003, 11:07 PM

I'll be buying it

General Mike · 12-18-2003, 11:41 PM

Based on the price and my experience with Markus' work, I'll definitely buy it right away.

No joke. I've barely had any time to play FOF.

I have a pretty high amount of gaming/internet/guitar time (my three "free-time" hobbies), mainly due to the combination of my complete and utter lack of any interest in television, and the fact that I wake up really early.

I wake up around 5am most mornings, and go in to the office (or begin working from home) between 8:30 and 9:00, so I generally have 2-3 hours of gaming time every weekday morning after I get some quiet time (although some mornings, like today, I'll have a breakfast-time work-related meeting). Plus, SWMBO likes to sleep very late on Saturdays, and fairly late (we usually go to 11am services) on Sunday. I'm incapable of doing so. On Saturday mornings, it isn't at all unusual for me to be on the computer, uninterrupted, until noon, and Sundays until 10am.

Most of my evenings (Monday,Tuesday,Thursday,Friday,every other Saturday) are at least partially taken up with stuff with teenagers, so I don't play much then, but I do generally have Wednesday evenings off, and SWMBO goes to the gym near her office with two of her girlfriends from work, then the three of them go to dinner, so that's usually an uninterrupted gaming/computer/guitar night for me.

Sun Tzu · 12-19-2003, 11:07 AM

I can't remember when there were more really great games available to play at any one given time. My side by side TCY/FOF2004 career has been taking up much of my free time. When I'm not immersed in that I'm usualy into my OOTP career. However with TPF and ITP being released in the very near future (ITP was just released today) I'm not quite sure what to do with myself! Damn you, I'm never going to get anything done now! It sure is a good thing that I've become single recently.

Comey · 12-19-2003, 11:48 AM

Already bought it. It's great fun.

Subby · 12-19-2003, 12:09 PM

I think it depends on how much crack I smoke at the baby shower I am going to tomorrow...
