We have created a FAQ to answer the most common questions you may have. Feel free to post questions in this thread, we'll then update the FAQ
Q: Which iOS devices are compatible with iOOTP 2012?
A: Right now iOOTP is optimized for any device with at least 256 MB RAM, which is the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4(S), iPod Touch 3rd and 4th generation, the iPad, iPad 2 and iPad 3. Also, iOS version 4.0 or greater is required!
Q: Is iOOTP a 'universal' app for the iPad?
A: Yes, it will run natively in HD on your iPad and the best thing is: you don't have to buy the game twice, just install it on any device you own.
Q: Can I play/sync my OOTP 11/12 league with iOOTP?
A: No. OOTP 13 leagues are so big and need so much memory that it would take a device with at least 1 GB of RAM, so we'll have to wait for the iPhone 6 or 7 I guess.
Q: Does iOOTP feature minor leagues?
A: No, it only runs one single league, the minor leagues are represented as a sub-category of the team roster, and there are no minor league games simulated and hence no minor league stats. Again, this would result in leagues becoming too big for current iOS devices to handle.
Q: So, is iOOTP really based on the OOTP engine?
A: Yes, it shares 99% of the code base of OOTP 13. That means, it has the same realistic game engine, smart AI and excellent player development. However, due to (surprise) memory limitations there are only basic stats as well as L/R splits tracked, but no advanced splits or double splits.
Q: Is iOOTP fun?
A: Hell yes! It is very easy to navigate and you can enjoy the OOTP experience whereever you take your iOS device.
Q: Can I manage games or is it simulating only?
A: You can manage games in iOOTP just like in OOTP, and quick-simming is also supported of course. With the 2012 version we even added Pitch by Pitch mode to the game!
Q: Does iOOTP support career play?
A: Of course! You can draft players, sign free agents, make trades, negotiate contract extensions, watch youngsters develop, veterans retire and so on. There is no season limit other than the memory of your device.
Q: What about online play?
A: No, this is not an option.
Q: Can I save an iOOTP game in the middle while playing it out?
A: Yes, when you quit the application while playing out a game, you can later resume it.
Q: What league types are supported?
A: We have the 2012 Major Leagues included (the entire 40-man rosters plus the top prospects of each team), four fictional league setups (8, 16 or 30 Teams), and three historical replay leagues (1924, 1969, 1995) with the option to purchase further historical seasons for $0.99 each.
Q: Will iOOTP be available for Android?
A: Not immediately. We will, however, possibly look into porting it to Android in the future.
