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. 3d mode doesn't make a difference to us as we just sim games anyways.

Just as a note, in the BML, the other league I'm in, I help recruit and have been able to find guys this week. It's no doubt harder, but not impossible.
I've said my piece. Whatever the league wants to do is fair.

While waiting to iron out potential bugs is very prudent, it remains a fact that interest in OOTP leagues is highest when a new version is released. This can definitely work for recruiting. So I voted to upgrade because I'm not very smart. My 104 loss season confirms it.

I'm 95% confident we will be making the jump to OOTP15 for this season. Trying to import the league over now to see how it looks.

I successfully imported my solo league into OOTP15. I simmed many weeks and did not encounter any glitches. The AI has been executing trades, but I have not yet intervened and tested manual trades initiated by a Commish.
So far, it seems to me that the functionality we use in PBL is solid - very little has changed regarding user interface screens. And the duplicate MR displayed in the roster section of the team home page has been eliminated - a cosmetic change more than anything. I must say that I really like the expanded screen and new look. More player stats are displayed on the player profile page, too.
I really hope the AI has been improved, especially the contract negotiation process (i.e., player demands and responses). I am looking forward to testing it out.
To date my sense is that OOTP15 is very stable and ready for prime time in the PBL. One man's opinion...

I love the look of it. Feel so much cleaner and modern than 14'.

The move from OOTP14 to OOTP15 will be my first in an online league. I have a few questions.
1. When in the off-season do we normally migrate to a new version? 2. Do you poll the GM's to ensure that everyone has the new version installed? 3. What is the process? Is it as simple as following updated steps in the Getting Started area of the PBL website to capture the file, the league settings, and the images? 4. Have you had an opportunity to develop a plan for the upcoming migration?
Just curious...

I guess this is a done deal. I always hope for leagues to wait until the sale at the all star break. By then all the issues have been identified and corrected and its cheaper. But obviously at this point, I will do whatever.

I agree with Josh, I'm one of the few who voted against moving to OOTP 15 as I'd like to save the money and wait for the all-star break sale, but obviously the rest of the league wants to go to 15, so I guess I'll be buying it shortly. I gotta admit I'm kinda excited to see the 3d

I understand some wanting to wait but there is simply no way to wait for the All-Star break as it would limit us in our recruiting and too many GMs (myself included) are excited to make the switch!

Well, if we are switching now, I'd better get myself a copy.
I love how they still use that 5 year old Curt Schilling quote as their sales pitch.

Is it possible to share a copy with someone? We get two license codes included with our purchase right?
