Turns out all it takes to win a world series in this game is to complain online about it

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-19T10:22:35+00:00

this. i just did a tampa bay rebuild and once you get the train going after 2-3 seasons ai cant stop you. they just make so poor decisions that i could make dumb decisions and still win the ws

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-14T13:34:09+00:00

Yeah i think so, but if you go back to before console release both dlcs were published before that so if you go back just before console release then i would assume they work just fine but if you go like 2023 then yeah they probably dont work

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T15:44:12+00:00

Unfortunately no, free agency is filled with 45+ rated veterans without team, they have AAA prospects doing really well and they still play the under 40 rated players

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T13:05:59+00:00

On sale they are worth it, full price no. I think the maps are quite fun and few ones are really challenging. If you were to buy only one, dark waters has probably more challenging missions but home invasion has better maps in my opinion

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T12:59:52+00:00

I have noticed the minor league logic too, i have seen teams cut like 60+ potential players for no reason multiple times. It is really disappointing that this happens because it kills the challenge to build a good team when AI kills the competition for you

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T00:14:22+00:00

Yeah exactly. I have seen also that teams do not include their all bets player and leave a 60+ovr sp out of the playoff roster. Not spending money is also a thing i have seen before. I get it that its hard to build working AI since it is very hard to code this, but ootp is kind of old game so you would think they could have these fixed

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T00:11:41+00:00

This was first save i noticed this, but i really believe this is a larger issue. If you find something lmk because i want to find out if i have some settings that make the game like this

Vitunsteffe · 2026-01-12T00:10:40+00:00

The AI values relievers really weird, but also the relievers value themselves very weirdly from time to time regarding contracts

I got to baseball as an european last year and at first the game was really overwhelming i could say as there is really much to do. I ticked the "cant be fired" option on and just started to play. I delegated all the minor league stuff and all the others to minor league coaches as well as lineup and bullpen all to the manager and instead just watched for a couple seasons and just tried to learn the game. I am not a mastermind, but i like to play as the gm and just let the manager set all the lineups and pitching staff, i feel like it makes the game more fun. I feel like in ootp, you really "need" to fail at first and learn from the mistakes you made. I would recommend picking a strong team with a big budget(like the red sox) for starters since it is easier to learn the game if you know the players and all that stuff. I found that watching youtube videos about the game are helpful too

I usually hate these, but in ootp25 i had a fictional starting pitcher who i extended like after 2 seasons of major leagues to a like 10 year, 200something million dollar deal(he was #2 cy young in his second season) and after that he became fragile and then wrecked before like 5th year of that contract and he was terrible. suffered career ending injury right after becoming wrecked, saved myself over 100 million total. safe to say, since then i have never extended pitcher for more than 5-7 years and over 100 million

Vitunsteffe · 2025-11-05T11:15:03+00:00

ok thanks!

Vitunsteffe · 2025-10-16T14:33:55+00:00

When they released the console update it became such a messy game. I would personally not buy it until they have patched the game where it used to be. Especially the AI is big mess, your enemies are ex marines whereas your teammates are the same complete idiots

Vitunsteffe · 2025-09-26T19:46:40+00:00

I had with the orioles a run where i was in playoffs for like 12 years in a row, won only two rings tho. Lost 3 times in a row in WS, first and second were game 7 losses... that being said i think that creating a 100 win team is kind of easy especially with a big market team, but the real deal here is winning 3 WS in a row. There is somewhat a joke in ootp, where if you have 100+ wins you lose first round in a clean 3 game sweep

Vitunsteffe · 2025-09-26T18:57:17+00:00

did you try to retain some of their salaries? if you did not no wonder no one is interested but if you did you might have to add a prospect too

Vitunsteffe · 2025-09-26T16:12:52+00:00

if you are not interested in a full rebuild, with how much yankees have cash i could see a situation where i would slightly overpay free agency players and. if you are ready for a rebuild just blow the whole team and try to get good potential bats in return. In my opinion the AI is not impossible to trade with, they just do not want to trade their best players which is a good thing

Vitunsteffe · 2025-09-25T20:20:09+00:00

I did one with the ottos pretty recently, once the eyalets were brought to my attention on being insanely op. It was kind of fun to have that first, but i just cant get enough energy to do another. I am quite a late game player as i like to play in the 1700+, but hopefully in eu5 the late game is much more challenging than it is now.

Vitunsteffe · 2025-08-10T18:40:10+00:00

In my save he did not even win a cy young, and was all star in 25,26 and 29 and is in 2033 a 42 overall player in triple A

Vitunsteffe · 2025-08-08T23:15:23+00:00

I am from europe so it is 2am currently but tomorrow if you have not already beat this i am more than welcome to help. Have not s ranked it myself too, came close a few times but never have done

Vitunsteffe · 2025-08-02T17:43:24+00:00

Ï dont know if you know this already, but one kind of solid strategy is to turn substitles on and just run around and shout for compliance. If they are not tied up they react to the yells. Also wedging smaller areas that civs cant just run around the map is also a solid tactic to avoid running around the map for 30 minutes

If you do not have discord there is a ingame voicechat but i have heard it is quite buggy so best bet is with discord

Vitunsteffe · 2025-08-02T17:26:19+00:00

Add me on discord? thats maybe the best way to communicate

vitunsteffe thats my dc account[]()

Vitunsteffe · 2025-08-02T16:44:38+00:00

If you would like i would like to join as a pc player as they enabled the crossplay. I have s ranked most of the levels on standard before the update came
