OOTP 6.5

*masturbates furiously*

Thanks bro...I've been looking for a review of 6.5 before we started our new season in SBSL.

[missionhockey21]

Yeah, I have been considering it Saber. Thanks for the review though, first I've seen.

Most of these accoutrements are hard to even take notice of at first, but after a season or two of simmed games it's hard to imagine how you ever got along without them. A case in point is the new seven-day roster option that lets you set your lineup for an entire week of action, game by game. At first, it seems like just a handy frill. But after a little bit of playing in an online league that runs week-long sims, or even playing in a solo league and simming a week at a time, it becomes awfully necessary to be able to set rosters for upcoming contests. The feature also allows more control over your lineup, while you're still able to zip through seasons, simulating a week at a time.


Now that's sexy.

I would head down to the local arms dealer, buy a handgun loaded with one bullet and end it now and then if I had to do that many more lineups per sim.

Well, it's sexy for ..um.. you know when everyone is exporting their lineups and such and so and lalalalalala. Or something where it's just a handful of people doing something for fun or what not.

You just want us to switch to OOTP 6.5 because your team is getting weaker and the rest of the GMs are getting smarter. You want your edge back.

Nawww...this is sexy!

Even the general public seems mindful of what's going on in league play. Team popularity, formerly a somewhat arcane stat apparently based on on-field performance and ticket pricing, now factors in roster moves. Players now have local and national popularity ratings, so the fans react negatively if you deal away a hometown hero and positively if you bring in a superstar. The swing in attendance can be quite dramatic, too, especially if you're dealing away top players during a losing season. This can start a downward popularity spiral that's nearly impossible to stop, as fewer bums in the seats drop revenue, which reduces your ability to buy free agents, which, in turn, kills your ability to compete on the field without going through a full-blown rebuilding mode. Hello, Montreal Expos.

They both have varying sex appeal.
