OOTP6 - I'm a putz for waiting this long. Anyone know of any fictional league with openings?

The league I run, which just started the year 2022, has a few open slots actually. Let me know if you want in.

The league site is at:
http://bmnetwerks.net/~disola/ncbl/index.php

We're having some issues with the stats on the main site so look at:

Santa Fe and Victoria are available.

ESPN College Hoops 2K5 - I'm surprised no one else is playing this game. I have one game left for both George Mason and Syracuse, then it's conference tourney time.

MVP Baseball - Just started a season with the Pirates.

OOTP6 - Not sure if I want to continue with my MLB league or create a fictional league.

HoI 2 is great - interface is a lot cleaner and easier to follow.

Steel Panthers is great, but I couldn't seem to get it to work with XP. Are you running it OK on that OS ?

Works 100% fine on my XP machine.

Was at EB last night, they had one copy of HOI2 so I nabbed it. Holy frickin manual! Seems like this is ridiculously deep. Did a couple of the tutorials too. First impressions are definitely good.

Xbox:

Fight Night

PSP:

It's the only PSP game I own for now. It's a damn fun game and the music is nice.

Just played vs a co-worker in a 15min morning break via ad-hoc. Freaking nice!

Nice one mate - got it running OK (Dos window...thought I was having acid flashbacks to my first 486 PC..), and even found the separate Campaign disk.

Enjoy HoI 2...I'm off to brew up some BT-7s

I've been playing Brothers In Arms (awesome single player), MLB 2006 (great game but I've been getting some freezes all of a sudden) and some MVP 2005. The 2nd patch for MVP 2005 has been a huge annoyance so I may just scrap the damn game. I've been mixing in a few GR2 matches also.

FYI, I;m running the new Steel Panthers, the one referred to as SPWAW (World at War). Is that what you have?

davet010 · Post by **davet010** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 4:54 am

No, I'm running the original 1995 Steel Panthers from SSI.

Just done a search for what you were on about - to be honest, I'd never seen this one before, although the graphics are quite similar.

Is it any good ?

PS - the fact that I was talking about the 95 version should hopefully explain why I asked about which OS you were using

I haven't played it a ton (haven't played much of anything lately) so I'll have to defer comment on the game for now. You can read about it on the forums at http://www.steelpanthersonline.com/

I figured once you were talking about DOS and problems with XP that you weren't trying to run the latest one.
