I present the Genesis of the FaceTool mod.
The All-Time Hardball League
A 24 team fictional present day league. Its birth into the OOTP world was 4/22/2001 with v3. We began simming in 2001 and currently we're in the offseason of 2015-16. We have proceeded through v4, v5, and v6.
We use v6.5 currently and have refrained from going to 2006 for reasons of stability and complication without added fun. I think the continued improvement of OOTP has enhanced the league but if the game doesn't improve and reestablish online user friendly approach, the interest will wane.
