We are going to have at least 2 or 3 open teams heading into the off-season and with the release of OOTP15' I think its a great time to be in the recruiting stages. My question is the time the playoffs finish up, etc should we convert to 15' or should we wait another season before doing so?
My concerns are:
1) If we switch and we run into an unexpected bug it could be a problem that takes time to fix...
2) If we don't switch it will be hard to recruit open teams AND will probably lose the attention of a lot of active GMs as we are so excited about testing out the newest version of our addiction.

I say we wait until the Friday release to see what shape the game really is in. Every year they say the game is in great shape and that there are no bugs... And every year there are an assortment of bugs and features that dont work right.

Its tough being this closer to the end of a season with a new version. I think we should go another season on 14, but... You have to deal with the problems and if you want to switch then I'm with you.

I voted to switch, but only if it is stable. I agree with Anthony that we should assess the condition of the game before we switch. The timing is excellent in that we have a few real-life weeks of off-season before we must make a final decision.

+1 on the last two posts. I am going to abstain for the time being.

I think the timing is great. We will probably finish the playoffs by the end of the work week and then I normally take a few days to get things organised and a little breather before we jump into the off-season.

Someone has to go early, so with back-ups in case of a problem and obviously testing first, no problem with going straight away. Should definitely help with recruitment as well.

recent ootp releases have only had minimal bugs out of the box - I'd vote for a change in the off season (after Jan 1).

I'd much rather wait for the All-star break sale. I think it's way to early to upgrade right away. There are always bugs out of the box. This year, with the new 3D, and more league options, i expect more of the same.

That would be an extra 2 years of PBL time (at least) Maybe I'm the one guy who doesn't like paying X for something when I know it's gonna cost half of X on a certain date. I'm obviously the odd man out looking at the poll, but really, whats the rush? I think bugs are guaranteed. There is stuff in the OOTP 14 that Marcus doesn't even recognize as a problem(faulty downloads where files get FUBAR'd you must re-download outside the game). There's stuff in OOTP that has never worked right(preseason predictions). That doesn't mean it's not a very good game. I just don't trust a brand new game when there's a history of things, especially new features not working the way people expect them.

Thats why i suggested we discuss it friday when the game is released to those who pre-ordered. If we stay on 14, were going to have a hard time recruiting the 3 (maybe more) open teams. Detroit and St. Louis were open all year, so expect the AI to screw them both up even more.

Yeh recruiting this year was almost impossible because people are waiting for '15. The only problem with 15' that they mentioned so far was the 3D not being available on first release in which the general consensus was that's fine as long as GM mode is working fine.
