I must say that at $9.95 it is a pretty good deal, if everything works as advertised.<\/p>\n<p>No word on the support that will come with the inevitable 6.5 bugs, but Markus and Sports Interactive clearly announced version 7 way too soon.  OOTP 6.5 has as many new features as some of the previous full versions on release.  Not a whole lot new for online leagues, although trading picks is a nice feature.  I?m just not sure how this will work with a June draft.  The general game gets a number of stat tweaks and AI adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Many in the online community fear how OOTP 6.5 will affect BOSI and Catobase.  Markus told one league commissioner that the CSV files haven?t been touched, but I think I?ll wait a while and let other braver leagues take the plunge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While I was basking in the joy of returning to the internet yesterday, I forgot to mention what a great job Jonathan did with the site upgrade.
