Michael Weintraub and I are testing out the new version of OOTP with a fictional league. My personal opinion is that it may well be worth upgrading. For instance, downloading the league file is preposterously easy in the new version. One click of the mouse and the game smoothly takes care of the rest.
But, we're way too early in the process to have a final recommendation to offer to either Zev or the rest of the owners. I do though want to ask everyone in this league (and the OEL) if there's anything in particular they want us to check. I'd like to have a list of things people want us to check out in the new game so we can report back to the group on them.
So, is there anything in particular you'd like us to check on OOTP 9? Bugs in 6.5 that trouble you? Things you like and want to make sure still work? Drop a comment. Thanks.
My personal pet peeve with OOTP 6.5 is the way players age - it's too predictable. Not everyone falls off a cliff when they turn 37.
ReplyDeleteIf that's been dealt with, I'd be amenable towards a move to OOTP 9.
As part of my tests, I've summed our league through 2070. There's a ton of interesting data, but I'll look how players age for you, Trevor.
ReplyDeleteIn a separate solo league I'm running, there are starters performing well at ages of 40, 42, etc. So, I'd say that there is a definite difference.
