Old version

[teoleo]

No way to purchase old version?

Sadly not. And as some of the changes are so fundamental, and not always to some player's taste. Having, say, the previous 2 versions on sale might be an idea. But this has been discussed on this forum and the official OOTP forum many times over.
For a while you could get the old OOTP 6 (from 2005) from the Sports Interactive website, a long time after it was obsolete. But even that ended years ago.

They insist that you spend full retail price each year, for a game that is getting worse each year. I haven't purchased their latest garbage for several years now.

Except of course for the pre-release sale with 10 % off, and the half price sales around the All Star game, World Series, Christmas and any other sales over the season.

Swisspike, you haven't bought it in years and know the state of the game? Are you playing a pirate copy? Otherwise how would you know?

You keep grinding that axe.

I have about 15 thousand posts on their forum boards, which I joined back in 2002. I know more about this game than virtually anyone else in the world. Thanks for playing.

This is the first year I didn't buy it. Com2us drove me away with PT greed. I did not buy to keep them completely out of my wallet. My choice to play an older version of the base game is good for me. I do hope the friends I made on PT continue to have fun if that is their choice.

I was there in 2002 also. Unlike you I haven't skipped any versions meaning I know more about the game than you. : )

Not one chance in hell. Seriously. Do you really think that they have many any significant changes to the engine? Do you even think that they know HOW to make changes to the engine? Their mission is to generate as much revenue as then can, as cheaply as they can.

If you have followed this game, as closely as I have, you would have noted that every. single. version. gets. worse. reviews. every. single. year.

For a reason, and you're OK with that??? You're just another useful tool for the current owners of the franchise.

My work here is done...and you're blocked.
