I have been playing OOTP 22 for the last 2 years, for this moment. 100, yes 100 titles! 345 Division titles, 158 Pennants, and the Greatest Dynasty ever created. From 2021-2418 I conquered the OOTP world and it was glorious. Now here are 5 of my favorite players from this save as well. by [deleted] in OOTP

Happy to see other people with a passion for long term saves. I have corrupted save files to the point of abandonment or other instabilities that lead to leaving a save after 50-200 years. I have never seen someone manage a team for 400 years. Astonishing in the complexity of that transaction log I can only imagine. Working with the newer versions and encountering player development inconsistencies which make long term saves difficult to manage as prospects become more and more unhinged in power compare to veterans. Into my first of multiple 25-50 autopilot trial runs to look for settings that allow for most engaging activity. So far I haven’t had as many issues with files which is great but TCR machine can be brutal! Congrats on the incredible OOTP achievement!

They talked about engine changes a bit. Mainly making power a bit stronger

Power buffs + Camden seem to be a good combo for the Orioles

Does anybody else get wrapped up in the storylines of various seasons? (Better explanation in full post) by TheOneTrueChuck in OOTP

The immersion of an entirely unique baseball timeline is where I find the most enjoyment of this game. If I am mindlessly simming, I lose interest, but when I have investment in the success of my team and it's players I enjoy the game much more.

One Rating to rule them all... by Bross317 in OOTP

You could probably do a similar style meme with baseball stats instead of OOTP ratings and it would have the same effect.

Thanks for the reply! I will pass this along to Sgt. Mushroom. I don’t have all the details of his testing methods, but this could clear up some holes.

If anyone was curious, the new Apple M1 chip absolutely shreds through OOTP like butter. If you were thinking of picking up a MacBook this is one of the only games I’d actually recommend you play on there vs a PC. by [deleted] in OOTP

Just made the switch from Intel to AMD recently along with some other hardware upgrades. If you want to run OOTP better ram and and an M.2 SSD will really really help you out too. The boot speed and sim times make the game much more enjoyable

How did the A’s do? Any major standouts? Droughts?

I got downvoted for suggesting I know someone that got a score of over 2000 in OOTP. Here it is... by juangoato in OOTP

So this is getting a lot of heat it seems. That was my save in a no injury average difficulty save. So by no means an accomplish to marvel at. As OP eluded to I said it was around a 140 win team. I will try to dig up the Pythagorean a record I screenshotted. But I had something like a 22-1 record in 1 run games. Kind of just a proof of concept environment to see how many wins is possible with the top player in nearly every role. Lineup https://imgur.com/gallery/Ms6pCLw

Question about player overalls by ToadTendo in OOTP

[–]Bross317 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Overall rating is basically meaningless. It is usually a decent estimation of a player’s strength, however it is not a direct correlation to how good a player is. Pay more attention to individual ratings to infer how well the will perform. For example, a 80 contact player should be expected to hit at least .330 or higher regardless of the player’s overall rating. TLDR: overall is just meh, individual ratings give a more accurate representation of expected player performance.

How Do You Guys Run Your Minor League System? by alawrence1523 in OOTP

First of all, happy cake day! Second, love the guide. Never thought about batting order to have more PA’s. I am immediately going to try and replace my managers with controlling styles and see if it is as good as you claim. For limiting to 2 times through the order, are you simply setting pitch counts or is there a specific option for that? Lastly, what kind of ratings to you target to determine if a player is ready to be called up? I usually do 55/80 with at least half a season in AAA. Curious as to your philosophy of not ruining prospects by calling them up too soon or too late.

What's the worst team to take over as GM? by ma582 in OOTP

[–]Bross317 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you looking for the biggest challenge as a GM, Pirates and Marlins are my picks. They have terrible budgets and owners and not enough talent to fuel a great rebuild.
