Applying for: New Applicant
Reason for applying:
First/Last Name: Mike NeugebauerI've been playing simulation sports games on and off since the mid 90's. My starting point was APBA Baseball for Windows and Front Page Sports Football Pro 98. The latter was huge for me, as I played in my first online leagues as coach of the Syracuse Orangemen and Detroit Lions. I enjoy competing, writing, relaxing and joking around in OOTP online leagues. I've essentially retired from all other video games and OOTP is all I play anymore. Over the past 4 years I've spent some time on and off as an OOTP beta tester and am pretty familiar with the game as a whole. I enjoy role-playing as a GM in an online league that has a social element. I have yet to make the playoffs or win a championship in online play, but maybe someday I'll break through. Also, the more I do it, the more I am enjoying online writing. For example here is a game-of-the-week write-up I did just a few days ago for my first league: https://pinnaclebaseballassn.proboards. ... eek-29-mia
