Head To Head?

simian35 · 03-02-2016, 04:37 PM

Just curious if this was ever an option or going to be? I am new to the, pre-ordered last week and work has been busy. I havent played a Baseball sim in years and years but have been wanting to and this one looks great.

Thank you All,

Simian

Head to head, do you mean online league with other players then yes

I have requested this option for the past 5 years. I even am willing to pay more for the game to get that option. If Diamond Mind Baseball can do it why can't OOTP? I played DMB years ago before I got into OOTP and it was a blast. Opposing GM's take turns controlling the mouse during game play and the other GM can not see your selections on things such as take a pitch or hit and run or pitch outs! Play can advance in autoplay until a GM jumps in to take control in a situation as the other GM reacts. Usually played a game from one half hour to one full hour. There must be programs out there to accommodate head to head play..........i.e., Norton Security has a program where by the tech person takes control of my mouse on my computer to repair virus and other issues. Does anyone out there know of a program whereby it could be applied to OOTP head to head sims ? Will programs like GoToAssist, LogMein or Team Viewer work with OOTP head to head play ?
Seems like a good business opportunity for our Add on programmers in OOTP to offer something like this and charge OOTP gamers in online leagues for this service.

I like Padreman's posts, it's like there's a hidden meaning in there somewhere

Didn't head to head once have a huge thread way back?

I like his posts too, but he really needs a spellchecker.

Well, maybe not, "olive league" would have passed a spell check.

simian35 · 03-03-2016, 09:36 AM

So Padre you are saying we can play against other players in the game in online leagues? There is another post that someone says you can't so I am confused.

Padreman · 03-03-2016, 09:59 AM

Online leagues are all human players

I think Padreman is confusing your question for playing against others in an online League, ie human players running all the teams, but in that you just set your lineups and then the commission runs OOTP to sim the next set of games and so on, not actually two humans playing the game out.

So, no, actually playing head to head against another person in the way you are asking is not in the game.

Olive league is a proposed 3rd spring training league to rival the cactus and grapefruit leagues

You do work on online pests? I might have some business for you.

You can already do this simply by using TeamViewer (freeware) and have the other guy get access to your desktop (where OOTP is running). He can use the keys to select the plays, so you don't know what he selected....

And there you go. And ONE DAY, one day OOTP will offer head to head and online league play via Steam.

But today is not that day.

I will bet money that doing that will increase your sales significantly.

If it doesn't, I'll buy five copies myself.

Oh come on Mr. OOTP Evangelist. You'll buy ten copies and spread the good news.
