I haven't bought this year's version yet because my league hasn't finished its season. But all previous versions have been great on my MAC. No problems.

Yes, it runs well on the M-chip MacBooks.

Even OOTP26 still runs well on my 2020 M1 I have as a secondary laptop.

I play it on a 14” MacBook Pro m3. I get it direct, not through steam. About the only advantage of a windows pc IMO is the ease of migrating your game from one version like OOTP25 to OOTP 26. I enjoy how quiet and the lack of heat on my MacBook.

I run OOTP on an iMac with no problems. One difference, though, is that on a Mac you will not get a voice announcing the play-by-play. That's implemented only for Windows.

Don’t forget you can install OOTP on 2 computers with your license code. I once transferred a league I had on a windows machine to my new MacBook. Just transferred the saved game from save game file on the windows file to a usb drive, then moved it to saved game folder on the Mac.
Which MacBook are you looking at?

I am looking at the Apple m4 mini also you say you can install on 2 computers does that mean you could get 3 new teams

Running on an m2 Max Studio. Zero problems. Installation...drag the OOTP app to your Applications folder. Done. Now, your OOTP Data folder is another thing (thanks, Apple).

Not sure what you mean by 3 new teams. You can move your league (or all the leagues) from the OOTP 26 game on one computer to the OOTP 26 game on the other computer.
