Real-Time Mode

brockholtsuperstar · 07-16-2014, 01:54 AM

Hello Out of the Parkers, I've been a long time follower, but first time poster here and I just had a few questions regarding the real time mode for OOTP 14.

1.) Does anyone actually play using this mode? If so could you explain your playing style?

2.) Is it possible for simulations to continue even when not playing the game? Like if I save and exit will the simulation continue?

That's pretty much it so any help will be appreciated!!

I play with it almost exclusively. I sim a day in game per real day. If the first game is at 12:05pm I start the sim at 12:05pm so it's as realistic (and as sad) as possible. In fact, you can even see some real scores right now in my league

The game doesn't continue simming once you save and close the game however, you have to leave the game running.

Thank You!! Do you continue real-time even in the offseason? Or just during the regular season? I was thinking about beginning a real time career.

That would be a long long dry spell.

Haha very true. I was thinking doing like a week at a time instead if a day at a time might be a better solution

I play as GM only, so real-time is how I watch all games...but I wish Markus would spruce it up, and not have so much wasted space( especially on higher resolutions)
