This is one OOTPB fan who knows how to post a complaint/issue: “I have one pet peeve, i am still seeing “away team” instead of visiting team. Away teams are in star trek, not baseball.” Now that is some funny stuff!

CGM RIP

No comments

Well it’s official. There really is nothing worth reading in print about computer gaming. If I subscribed to any gaming publication (I don’t and haven’t for many years) it would have been Computer Games Magazine. Many of the old timers there grew up on the mean streets of the Usenet forums and went on to [...]

Nottingham

No comments

So I am off to Nottingham today.  Get to spend lots of time on plans and trains, so it will make for a not so fun trip.  I think by the time I get to my hotel I will have spent a good 18-20 hrs traveling.  Yuck!

Sadly, all good things must come to an end. My preview time with Out of the Park Baseball 2007 will end while I’m at work and it’s locked down until the game release on the 23rd. The good news is that everything I looked at is pretty stable and nothing went wrong during any sim [...]

Funny thing about Calvert #3 is that my gaming has rapidly decreased.  It is not like I do not want to play anything, but finding the time or energy is another story.  A good example; it is five minutes short of 4AM right now, and I am up with Joseph, giving Tonya a much needed [...]

More OOTB 2007

I’m really, really liking the player development. One of the top four hitters in the AL in 2027 was a 23rd round pick! You’d never see that in any version of Out of the Park Baseball. The best pitcher in the AL was a second rounder and the second best pitcher was selected in the [...]

Cheap Cables

No comments

Last week I mentioned that I was surprised at the cost of high-end HD cables, so I did some research, and came to the conclusion that a $15 cable is almost as good as a $200 cable. I decided to place an order with monoprice and I can report that the cables arrived quickly, and [...]

So Far, So Good

It took me a while to run my 20 season sim because it turns out that you need to manually resign all of your human owners assigned to teams even if the game is told to run everything via computer AI. The AI will handle everything but the DFA & waiver wire if a human [...]

Sweet Melody of Spring

No comments

Yes spring training is in full swing, but for me the sweet melody of spring is watching a bunch of four-year-olds chase around a soccer ball on a neatly trimmed pitch.  Funny that Chris just mentioned soccer in his previous post, because I was about to do the same.  Today was opening day at the [...]

I have to go and watch Holly “Sweet Feet” Johnson score some goals this morning, but I am liking what I see so far in Out of the Park Baseball 2007.  A lot.  So much so that I think Sports Interactive should refund every OOTPB 2006 owner the full price of that premature release.  The [...]

It took me 18 clicks (that’s right 18) to get to my world.dat file, but I finally was able to import my league file into Out of the Park Baseball 2007.  The “explore” button in the import dialogue doesn’t do anything as far as I can tell.  At least it doesn’t change the import directory [...]

The good folks at Sports Interactive sent out preview builds to online commissioners and others to take a look at their latest and greatest (we hope) work, Out of the Park Baseball 2007. This is a five-day limited build intended to let everyone see how much progress the mighty OOTPB development team made since the [...]
