Okay, I feel a little like Moses on Mt Sinai here, but Zev has spoken, and this is the plan:
We are migrating to OOTP 9 for the new season. Before that, though, we will need to finish the pre-season in OOTP 6.5, which means the Rule V draft and Spring Training.
The Rule V draft will be done on Thursday night. Please upload your roster before Tuesday night. There will be a sim that evening and all players eligible for selection in the Rule V draft are fair game.
After the Rule V draft on Thursday, Spring Training (the best time of year!) will happen the following Thursday night. Once we complete that, the fun really starts, as we'll transit the league to OOTP 9 and reconfigure the league in the new game to match the current settings as best as possible.
For now, I'd suggest buying a copy of OOTP 9 if you haven't yet, and get used to the game. There are a lot of new features and bug fixes compared to 6.5, and I think we'll all be happier with the game play in it.
Don't forget to upload your rosters in 6.5 by tomorrow night, though, first!
(Oh, and we may have found a new owner to take over one of our free franchises, but if you know someone else who may be interested in either Hartford or Hickory, have them contact Zev and me.)
Are there any issues with running OOTP 6.5 and OOTP 9 on the same PC?
ReplyDeleteNo, I've got them set up. The architecture is completely different and they don't share any files that I know of.
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of new ownership I'd think we post on the OOTP boards once the conversion takes place and see what happens.
I had the same thought, Nate.
