So...OOTP 15 - Anyone in?

[Nefaro]

Not being a big baseball fan, how steep is the learning curve and how close will 14 be to 15?

OOTP 14 is very close to what 15 is.  So you will know what it's all about if you get 14, which was a great version.  I really only upgraded to 15 in order to get the latest rosters while it was on sale.

The learning curve requires some reading on your part.  Mostly for player contract related specifics which you can read about in the in-game manual (F1 help).  I think Baseball Mogul is a much gentler entry into a baseball manager sim because it is less detailed in that area and there are less UI pages to navigate.  But the Humble sale makes OOTP14 much cheaper since BM is $35.

Well, I took the plunge since it's at an absurd price at Gamersgate at the moment.

Did you guys ever get a league going?  If not, do you want to?  I think I'd learn the game a lot better that way. :)

I'd be in as well.

Great deal for $5. About 22 hours left on the sale and you get a steam key.

Next year I am going to wait until this time of year to buy the game:)  I always pre order the darn thing and never get around to fully playing it....some day I will learn.

Just wait for All-Stars week.  They always have the first 50% Off sale for it at that time.  If you aren't itching to play it straight away on release.

This year I didn't even play it enough to warrant 50% price....never really played much.  I'll have to fix that habit next year
