This is the best iteration of OOTP yet.

For the first time ever I'm enjoying running a historical going back to the beginnings of baseball.

Facegen makes the game come alive and all the wonderful customization features are a dream come true for someone who began playing baseball games oh so long ago using a deck of cards and pair of dice.

Thanks Markus and Co! Good job!

This has certainly been the best version to date.

As a fellow historical simmer, I agree wholeheartedly.

As a diehard fan since OOTP2, I'm proud of Markus for all he's done with auto-expansion, team changes, divisional realignments, accuracy, right on down the line.

It is a lot less like work once you get to the 60s and 70s. Usually that's as far as I would get, as it was just too much of a process to fight expansion. Everything is automated. That was key.

BTW, have you tried the Giambo face pack? It blows facegen out of the water for historical sims.

I liked facegen for my fictional stuff but yes have used Gambo's for historical. Just have't gone back as far as 1901 before because of those expansion issues.
