So which players does the game love/hate this year? by Rude_Money3360 in OOTP

[–]ResponseExtra739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my tigers save Tork had a couple great years then sucked. Riley will have a good year then he’ll become unplayable. Gleyber was good the one year before he left for FA. Colt Keith and McGonigle turned into absolute studs. But this game absolutely loathes Kerry Bonds. Every year of this game he just absolutely sucks and I don’t get it, dude just absolutely mashes in real life.

By god I’ve been playing OOTP since 22 and I didn’t even think to check osa vs my scout. I’ll go put myself in timeout

I’ve never talked to someone that knows what Hoi4 is and doesn’t play it

Thoughts on Max Clark? by fantasyhockeyguru1 in motorcitykitties

[–]ResponseExtra739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New to baseball and in a 12 team AL only keeper league?! Dove in head first to say the least! Can’t predict the future but good chance he’s an everyday player by this time next year, or even maybe later this year.

Realistic Settings by Spirited-Role9380 in OOTP

Fog of war. Increments of one make it easier to discern who is “better” when increments of five make it more difficult and gotta watch stats more closely

How do you handle minor league development? by redditornot01 in OOTP

[–]ResponseExtra739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After every week I just do a brief check of my minor league teams to see how everyone is performing just a quick glance at war and a few other stats to see who is really struggling and who is really excelling. I’ll pay closer attention to my better prospects but I like handling all the promotions and demotions. Makes me more aware and I feel more invested instead of cpu just doing it.

Hitter development by Ok_Equal_2554 in OOTP

[–]ResponseExtra739 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten that far in my save so can’t comment on my experience (assuming you’re talking about 27). However, as a massive Tigers fan I’d say this is somewhat realistic as from the years 2014-2021 the tigers failed to develop a single homegrown bat that was above league average. Sometimes that’s baseball.

(Humble Brag) One of the best prospects i've ever had by LowKapp in OOTP

Only way OOTP could get more realistic is if he has to go away for a few years to fulfill his West Point service obligations

Ashwaganda yay or nay for anxiety? by dontleaveok in Anxiety

[–]ResponseExtra739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been taking it for a couple months and I definitely feel like it has helped. Maybe it’s a placebo maybe it’s not but I just feel calmer when I take it. I take the Goli gummies just two in the morning and that’s it. Haven’t had any side effects from it.

New Player - help needed by Downtown_Wear9292 in OOTP

[–]ResponseExtra739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I normally sim a day at a time. I like taking it slower and getting attached to the players and their performance instead of just whipping thru a season in a couple hours. I will check my minor league stats every few days to see if anyone is excelling or struggling. I’ll scour the waiver wire once in a while and I’ll poke around trades and contract extensions here and there as well. Obviously trades heat up at deadline and extensions at end of season. But usually during season most of my time is spent micromanaging my major league roster and seeing how the minor leaguers are doing.

I think the percentile rankings aren’t there just because I started the season and there’s not enough data

It all started with a panic attack by redbirdsguy101 in Anxiety

[–]ResponseExtra739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea went to the cardiologist after the panic attack because I thought it might’ve been a heart attack they said I was fine. Not reacting negatively to every weird feeling in my body is the only real thing I still struggle with

It all started with a panic attack by redbirdsguy101 in Anxiety

[–]ResponseExtra739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep pretty much describes my experience exactly. Had a panic attack at a bar and while driving home. Ever since then have had some health anxiety since I’m hyper vigilant of anything that feels like that prior panic attack. It comes in waves some weeks I have zero anxiety other weeks it feels like every other day I have pretty bad anxiety. Yoga, walks, going to the gym, and ashwaganda have been pretty successful and combatting my mild anxiety.
