We are proud to announce our first independent release in 3 years, Out of the Park Baseball 8.0!

The game is 100% compatible with OOTP 2007, including online league play. It adds the following features:

CATO history import function (click here for detailed instructions)
Milestone-watch in the history section
Integrated Lahman database 5.5
Major League quickstart game, including real player names and full minor leagues (discussion here)

We are planning to officially release the game once the new Lahman database is available, so this is basically an unofficial forum release. The official release will have the same game version, so there is no need to wait for it. The only difference will be the Lahman database, which you will be able to download as well from www.baseball1.com once it is available!

List of Fixes
Here's the list of fixes that appear in OOTP 8. There aren't that many!

*Players claimed off waivers in online leagues are now placed in DFA, not the active roster
*Players from deleted feeder leagues no longer show up in the draft pool
*expansion protection lists for online leagues now included in exports
*rare crashes tied into coaching model resolved
*fixed some contract negotiation issues where players over-valued themselves
*improved double-switch AI

Download
The game costs $19.99, or 19.99 Euros for people outside of the U.S. and Canada, and can be downloaded here:

Attention OOTP 2007 owners: Use your OOTP 2007 order ID as coupon code to get a discount of 13 USD/EUR on the purchase! Just open the webstore, add OOTP 8 to your cart, click on "I have a discount coupon for this product" and enter the OOTP 2007 order ID.
You can find your OOTP 2007 order ID in the file receipt.txt which is in the OOTP program directory (or click on "Unlicense OOTP 2007" in the MS Windows start menu and copy the order ID from the text box - but you don't need to unlicense the game!).
We've already sent a discount coupon code to all OOTP 2007 Mac owners. Please let us know in case you didn't receive that email. In that case I will need the email address which you've used when buying OOTP 2007.

Enjoy!
