Thanks Everyone!

Hey guys,

let me thank you very, very much for all the great support & positive feedback on the AppStore. iOOTP is surging up the charts, and currently has an average rating of 5 stars (68 of 72 reviews are 5 stars!), thus being one of only 7 applications in the top 200 which have an average of 5 stars! Just wow.

We will continue to improve the game and are looking forward to your ideas & feedback!

All the best,
Markus

PS: OK, I need a drink now.

iOOTP is showing up in iTunes under the "New and Noteworthy" section!

I bet the other 4 non 5 star reviews are mogul fans

I started with mogul, played it for two years and some of the free ones they offered and then discovered OOTP, my discovery was probably perfectly timed as Mogul led me into the more detailed baseball sim area and then OOTP fulfilled all my hopes and dreams...

Had I never gotten into Mogul I can honestly say OOTP probably would have scared me away with its depth...

Been checking the appstore and have watched iOOTP move up the ranks and be viewable in the top of the list in simulations and also on What's New.

Great to see it getting attention and lots of reviews. Hope you pick up some new customers that have never played OOTP or maybe never played a text sim and become fans of them like the rest of us.

I also hope your success sparks interest in the rest of the sports text sim world and gets you some friendly competition from Puresim and Mogul. Would like to see other Sports sims also hit the mobile market.

Congrats to you on being the first of the 3.

Oh and thanks for helping me pass the time at work. I believe I played out 4 games in my season while at work. Several close frustrating games lol.

Loving the PbP btw. Great variety in it.

Looks like iOOTP is the #2 $4.99 app, just behind CoD. Not bad.

I'm really enjoying it. When does the iPad native version come out? I want to know so I can plan to buy an iPad.

Not sure, the first couple of updates will center around fixing bugs, adding historical leagues as in-app purchases and the game center support. My guess would be late summer, as we want to make it right

I was wondering if you plan to add sounds that would make this awesome experince even better? Also is there any feature to warm up a relief pitcher in the bullpen or is just bringing him in he is already ready to go?
