I was only on SeeBS before becoming a hoopster.

There was a poster there where all he ever did was maintain a blog rewriting the entirety of baseball history. Thousands of posts with maxed out characters(10k characters was the max per post). Nobody had time to read all of it because like I said, there thousands of them and the site shut down before he finished, and for his sake I hope those weren’t the only places he had those. Some truly bizarre shit, like giant gerbils invading a game in the 1890’s. I think the dude was just unhinged and apparently FN was the only message board that would let him post his MLB history fan fiction.

Maybe @DJ remembers the dude’s name

It can be crazy addicting!

Some people play with 100% realism, using real life lineups and transactions.

I already know how that turned out. So, I let the CPU do what the fuck ever and see what happens.

I'd give anything for an NFL GM draft simulator that is real-time as the draft is happening.

I've said this before and I mean it, if I had been GM of the Titans during the Ruston Webster reign of terror, they'd have won 2x more games.

Yeah, giant gerbils are probably not something you will find in OOTP, but a wayward cat running out on the field does tend to happen.

Had a 1998 game play where Roger Clemens put his son in a private school in Toronto. I thought that one was pretty funny.

Fuckin A man, I played OOTP and EHM(hockey version) for like 16 hour shifts a decade ago. The game was like crack.

Fuckin A indeed. I had this on my laptop a few years ago, and boy was it consuming for a while.

I have the new phone app for it. To be fair it’s very comprehensive for a phone app, but I’ve not done much with it. Maybe I’m trying to be smart with what little free time I have.

It is a geek fest!!
