After playing the game all weekend have to notice :

1) Way beyond my expectations..Though i dont have much baseball knowledge (rosters, history etc) everything seems in tune..(at least for a custom player like myself). Started MLB Quickstart with the Cubs and from first sight all work with the rosters is amazing..Much better than OOTP12 , more challenging trading AI..

2) I almost immediately loaded my OOTP12 fictional league into OOTP13 and everything works fine !! For me (that i am not into technical issues) this is a great plus !!

3) Though i learned sim games from FM (so i play out each single game) , Real Time Simulation is Great ! You play out your game and at the same time you watch other games unfold.. Way cool !!

4) The in play AI engine (when you play out games) seems much more better and more difficult..
Did anyone else notice that ??? Or is it just my over-excited brain..?

5) The in game screen is just perfect !!!!

6) ---this is personal--- . i dont have internet where i play..On Friday after work i moved my home pc to a friend house for 3-4 hours, just to properly download the game and also download some add-ons.. All weekend i played with no internet access and without knowing what is going on at the forums... Well exactly as it was with OOTP12 the game was full working all weekend flawless !!! no crashes, no problems. Just enjoying the game..
Another great plus !!
Congratulations to everyone involved cause definitely you moved the game one giant step forward !

Two questions :
1) Do we have to enable storylines ?? Or everything is coming along on the way..?

2) Started a league on year 2011 with historical rookies mixed from all eras.
i would like my league to have a life of its own as it grows year by year, but still i would like to see lets say M.Mantle to become a great player..
How do i manage that..with re-calculation after each year or with the OOTP engine ??
I ask that cause i traded Pafko (OF) for a SP with super ratings but with no real life experience of more than 5 years...re-calculation means that this player will never reach his potential ??? it seems that AI teams give more notice to real-time stats than ratings in this case...

Any ideas ???
Many thanks and sorry if that was too long..
