Have you pre-ordered the game?

BusterKing · 04-24-2008, 09:56 AM

Every year I buy the new version. I certainly grab this pre-ordering deal when offered. I know that I will get my money's worth!

Ditto!

To be honest I think I would get value even at full price.
But it makes it a bit sweeter at pre-order (especially with having to buy in Euros

)

Amazing big bug fixed with OOTP9. Read the following thread:

OOTP 9 - First Screenshots! - Front Office Football Central

Post #55 in that thread by Markus.

Now the AI teams just got smarter!

Stats_Enthusiast · 04-24-2008, 01:37 PM

I ordered 2 copies!!!

Mike Donlin · 04-24-2008, 01:49 PM

I did, although (and I don't want to start a big debate or anything) I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed by the list of new features. I'm glad scouting has been tweaked and I've been arguing for the return of the written scouting reports since we lost them in v 2006, but I was *really* hoping the starter/reliever pitching model would have been addressed since it's by far (even more than development, I think) the most unrealistic aspect of the game.

Maybe that's in the works, though. I hope so. But I'd probably order it regardless just to keep Markus in business. After all, that's the only way I'll ever get an accurate pitching model!

theasfl · 04-24-2008, 02:21 PM

I pre-ordered the hell out of it.

Irish Fan · 04-24-2008, 02:46 PM

As soon as I got permission from the wife !!

CHOWDERHEAD · 04-24-2008, 02:48 PM

Waiting to see what the rest of the features are before I order.

edm · 04-24-2008, 04:07 PM

YES ordered last night.

senorcoo · 04-24-2008, 05:04 PM

I purchase new version of the game every year as well. Looking forward to OOTP 9.

plannine · 04-24-2008, 05:57 PM

Ordered.........now waiting.....

HolyCow98 · 04-24-2008, 05:59 PM

I will be ordering but the pre-order or not will be if it is still available May 1st. Either way I'll be getting it no matter what.

MidnightPyro · 04-24-2008, 06:54 PM

Definitely. Like HolyCow98 though, I might have to wait until May (or atleast a few more days) for the credit card bill to get paid, and all of the end-of-month financial crap.

Gas prices are crazy, but at the end of the month I can go, "Look how many reward points I'm earning! This is a record!"

SittingDuck · 04-24-2008, 07:09 PM

I thought about making a poll like this, then laughed thinking about it. If I answered it today, I'd say no. But likely by tomorrow I will have pre-ordered. So couldn't change my answer.

Jah · 04-24-2008, 07:58 PM

Not yet, but probably will. Still waiting to hear some details about the "several improvements" made to historical play. A little something more than "the addition of several new stats modifiers" would help!
