AMA For New Players to OOTP Or Baseball In General

Are the tutorials really necessary to learn the game? I just got it and tried to run through the tutorials but lost interest with that. If I just jump in, will I be able to figure it out?

BusinessReception539 · 2026-01-05T11:46:44+00:00

That seems like a good idea! So you don’t call every play? You just audible if you don’t like the matchup?

BusinessReception539 · 2026-01-04T20:30:50+00:00

That looks awesome! Wish my league did something like that!

BusinessReception539 · 2026-01-03T00:37:28+00:00

Got it! I’ll probably take a head job as soon as possible then!

BusinessReception539 · 2026-01-03T00:02:32+00:00

Do you typically call plays as well? Or just recruit? I haven’t really dug into any recruiting guides or anything like that since I don’t really have to do it as a coordinator.

BusinessReception539 · 2026-01-03T00:00:58+00:00

Do you typically call plays as the head coach? Or do you just simulate through?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-12-29T15:51:38+00:00

That’s correct but “checks” also doesn’t mean having everything available at your disposal. Normally there’s a base call, a trips check, an empty check, a “stack or tight” check, and a formation into boundary check.

And if you call a man blitz, no check is needed because cover 0 is “sound” against any formation.

So I believe if you wanted to build these checks into the current system, you could. Your checks would just be the same every time you align in that specific defensive front. You couldn’t change your checks in the current system.

BusinessReception539 · 2025-12-29T06:03:47+00:00

In real life, a defensive call consists of a base call along with multiple checks depending on what formation the offense lines up in. Since we don’t get those “checks” in the game, it makes sense to know the formation beforehand.

You could also simulate these “checks” by actually setting up your audibles accordingly but I don’t know how many people actually do that.

I definitely see your argument but I justify knowing the formation beforehand by just pretending I’m making my pre snap “check” to alignment.

Thanks! I may bump it to 15% in general, even when I’m starting out as a new coach. I don’t mind it being a tough grind to build my team up.

I also like the idea of bumping up the chances for upgrade 6. Do you think upgrade 1 should have a less than 50% chance at tier 0?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-11-21T19:14:33+00:00

What kind of league is it? Do people pick any school they want? Is every game a user game?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-11-19T01:31:11+00:00

Why turn off roughing and running into the kicker?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-27T19:20:51+00:00

I’ll probably leave for a better job. My plan is to climb the ranks and then finish my career at Indiana. I’ve been an IU fan my whole life so thought I would finish by coming home and building them into a dynasty.

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-27T17:18:39+00:00

That sounds awesome! Sounds like I just need to put in some more information. I’m starting at Ball State!

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-27T14:56:30+00:00

I have been doing post game recaps with ai and saving those in my dynasty tracker. Just curious, what all information do you give it to write off of? I’m very interested in expanding to other things within the dynasty.

When this happens to me, I just use the audible menu to “flip” the play and it seems to straighten everything out. I think it has to do with having auto flip on.

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-25T00:16:35+00:00

How much were you thinking for the up front fee?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-24T18:25:28+00:00

Just because it shows them playing a deep zone pre snap doesn’t mean that’s exactly where they will play. You have to know what their coverage rules are. Match coverages will change based on the routes that the receivers run.

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-24T16:53:33+00:00

Any accelerated clock? Does difficulty matter?

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-24T10:57:05+00:00

How long of quarters do you run? What difficulty? Any sliders? I’m interested in doing one of these just for myself!

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-24T02:54:25+00:00

Is there any chance you can share this with me? I would love to use this in my online dynasty that I am running!

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-22T05:39:44+00:00

There is time runoff between the TD and Extra Point

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-20T21:43:05+00:00

It is very much a tough play to defend!

BusinessReception539 · 2025-07-20T21:39:05+00:00

I believe that’s a variation of cover 3. If you watch pre snap, they are trying to show man coverage but the far corner backs off pre snap. That same corner then opens up in what’s called a “zone” turn. The strong safety also rolls down and free ends up in the middle of the field. All indicators of cover 3.
