I had OOTP2006 last year. I honestly didn't play it nearly as much as I did OOTP3, 4, 5, etc.

However I've been thinking about the game lately with all the hot-stove action going on in real world MLB and then I received the email announcing OOTP8 for $20. Needless to say I'm definitely interested.

I have some questions though.

One, I read about importing your OOTP2006 league into OOTP8. Will it keep my leaderboards detailed, the list of award winners for each year, etc etc? I know in one of the versions there was an "Almanac" but if you imported from a previous version the Almanac obviously didn't work for the years you imported. Is there an almanac in OOTP8, and if so does it include all the years of your history?

The reason I ask is because I have a league and simmed over 100 years on it. I started in 1901 and it is currently in 2007. It has a lot of history and I'd like to keep using it. If I can't, it's really not a HUGE deal...but just something I'm thinking about while deciding on a purchase.

Another, is the gameplay a huge step up from 2006? Or would I, being an occasional player the last couple years, be just as satisfied to keep playing on 2006, especially considering I didn't play it a whole lot to begin with?

Thanks for any info anyone can give me.
