The iPad (Universal App) update will not be one of the first two updates (which will be released as soon as possible) as it will take some time to work it out. But you are correct that it will be a free update, so you can buy iOOTP now and play on your iPad and receive the Universal-App update completely free.

I think it is the beauty of iOOTP (and other text-sim games as well) that you can find your own style of play. I, for example, play out a few games to start the season (get a feel for my team), then change to simulating and later in the season, when it comes down to the last games and I'm in the Playoff Race, I switch back to playing out my games. The Playoffs are the same, nothing more exciting then a Game 7 going in Extra Innings.

I read another nice way to play today on our board: someone is so addicted to play iOOTP (at work) that he allows himself just one game, basically following the real MLB season on his device. For me it is easy: my job is to play iOOTP.

I know. Seriously, I saw a post some somewhere on the OOTP board where someone had changed the stadium background to another ballpark image. I have a feature on my list to add individual ballpark images for one of the updates.

Btw. the first update will have File Sharing enabled, so changing logos will be much easier by just using iTunes!

Sorry for 4 post in a row but I wanted to give some answers.

So far we have no sound in iOOTP. To be honest, I don't think that it will add much to the game. But maybe we can add a few sound effects during the game (like cheering and the crack of the bat).

About the game-play: Not even the PC/Mac version has animations. We might add some for OOTP13 next year and then it might be possible, that animations will end in a new version of iOOTP someday.

Nice! That's going to be a real good feature.

Thank you very much for responding to our questions!

This game has made my iTouch a must use item. Playing this game on the go, in class, or when I'm just bored has got me completely addicted. Nothing like starting in the 60s with Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Juan Marichal. I like to watch the games and play more as a GM. It's hilarious seeing these pitchers going 8-11 innings.

One question...how do you save? I'm using an 2nd generation iTouch if that is any help.

2nd question...In the rotation/bullpen screen, what does the rotation mode "Realistic" mean?
