New Jersey, USA. I believe I started with 5, but it might have been 4. I've had every version since I started.

Izz · 03-29-2015, 01:57 PM

New Zealand. Been playing since OotP 13, though 14 was when i really got into it.

So far we are missing south America, Africa and Asia I believe. Anyone from those continents

Griever20 · 03-29-2015, 02:34 PM

Dortmund, Germany...

I randomly watched into MLB after the 2012/13 NBA season was over and while I didn't understood a thing... I was sucked in by the game...

Tried the OOTP test version and loved it and then bought 14 and every version since then... and became a huge baseball fan

I think someone mentioned they were from Taiwan, so that covers Asia.

Still missing Antarctica, though. Any penguins up in here?

We had one from Africa and I've seen a few from Asia of different parts. Haven't noticed anyone from South America, though.

I bought OOTP in 1999. It wasn't OOTP 1 yet because there wasn't a 2, or maybe even plains for one yet. I had been following the work of Shaun Sullivan who was building a baseball game in his spare time. I even had a alpha version of the game that was almost playable. But his progress was slow and spotty (eventually he did produce PureSim baseball). Than one day I ran across a completed game by some German kid. A German baseball game? But still it was offering me what I was looking for and was more involved that Baseball Mogul, so I bought it.

When I went to activate OOTP 2 my license didn't work and I sent an email to Markus who replied almost immediately. It turns out I opened the old email from OOTP 1 when looking for my licenses and had to email him back admitting that I might not be the smartest customer, but at least I was loyal.

I grew up in Austin TX, which obviously is in the U.S. but back when I was a kid, Austin might as well have been a foreign country when it came to baseball. My dad was a New Yorker and would take me to U.T. baseball games. Back then they played in Clark Field. Notice that there is a cliff in center field and the fence is a good 20 feet behind it. You could actually hit a ball on top of the cliff, and the ball would still be in play.

So were you embarrassed with that mistake lol?

Strikingly similar to my experience with football and Championship Manager (as well as a short-lived game called one-nil) 20 odd years ago.

There are a bunch of guys from Asia around.
