Anybody have this happen to them?
You wind up following your OOTP baseball teams more than you follow real baseball?
I think I can say I've reached a new level of pathetic because of this. I go to sleep and dream of having make-believe press conferences. My team lost to Boston 21-3 and all I could think about was what I would say to the media. Gee, thanks for ruining my life OOTP, now that I've completely detached my life from reality. |

It's really bad when you're talking about rookie performance and/or injuries that happen in your game that are different than real life. You need filter your comments when talking to others...Was that real or in my OOTP league???
Maybe if we get committed though, we'll have more time to play! |

How about this. I dare anyone to get a real life jersey made of one of your OOTP fictitious players! Last edited by drksd4848; 04-23-2015 at 01:02 PM. |

I cared more about my OOTP league then I do about RL baseball. My nephew might have me committed after last night.

It's fine as long as you don't get angry with the members of the media. |

It's not pathetic, it shows your passion. I've been the same way since I was a kid and watched wrestling religiously. That's when I started coming up with my own storylines and such and I still do to this day, just not in regards to wrestling anymore.

Yeah, same here. I've been creating leagues and stories in my head since I was a kid, playing in the yard with my dad. OOTP is the place they come to life the most.

i have a coworker that i got playing OOTP and we often discuss our OOTP franchise before we discuss real baseball or our real fantasy teams.

Early morning conversation:
"How are the Dodgers doing?" "Really well. 32-12." "WHAT?" Oopsie...

It does help that Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey or sometime George Kell and Al Kaline announce every single OOTP game I play. In my OOTP world, guys like Tom Grieve, Josh Lewin, Rod Allen and Jim Price are forced into government experiments involving voice altering drugs that make it so only cats can hear them.

Actually thought about it already. I dated a girl for a bit who liked the Roses jersey in the Nickname project and she wanted to make it herself. We broke up before she could but I do know she bought a blank white jersey for it. So at the least she attempted it.
