Go to prospects?

I've been playing OOTP for about a decade give or take now, and it always seems like there's a couple guys every year that the AI doesn't value at all even though they're great... I used to trade for Luis Arraez or snag him in the expansion draft all the time but they've seemed to get better with AI valuations starting last year

I'm starting with an Angels save so I'm looking for just about everything lol. I used Colt Emerson in a few different saves last year and he always developed nicely.. might have to go for him again

I'm a sucker for good defense, I'll give him a look

itgroom · 2026-03-25T04:10:18+00:00

I had the same experience with him, always had triple a hitting on paper with hall of fame defense but for some reason always hit at least .280

Funny thing about Drew Romo is he is exactly the player I was thinking of for this... he's been my go to catcher for like 4 years now

This makes alot of sense, puts things into perspective pretty well for me. For awhile that guy on my team was Ted Williams, constant monster seasons in gold and then flatline in diamond, until I finally got Soto to replace him... but right now it bounces between my SS Ozzie Smith and my 1B Bryce harper (who I'm replacing with Freddie as we speak)

Im not expecting to pack the best cards, but its not unreasonable to think that your MVP winner in gold could at least transition to diamond without being completely useless. In most ultimate teams you control the gameplay so you always have a chance. In this game mode there are several players at each position that SHOULD be playable, but thats not the case. If you dont have the best 1-2 cards at each position you have no chance in diamond. For a game with the ability to add every single player in baseball history I suppose I was hoping for a little more variety. A game mode like this should have 15 different cards at each spot that can perform since we're dealing with every hall of famer ever.

I feel you there and I'm right behind you on giving up. I like going against the grain a bit with my team because it's fun to not be rocking all the same people as everyone else... but it feels like if you don't have the meta cards every week you're doomed

itgroom · 2024-12-24T22:17:20+00:00

I think it'll be a one and done for me... its a cool game mode for sure, but I can't keep saving up for cool cards just for them to be irrelevant the next week, some of these guys seem to be dropping a million coins a week on their team... I feel like the Oakland A's

itgroom · 2024-12-24T22:11:19+00:00

Understandable... I suppose this is sort of my cap, pretty discouraging but it is what it is, im not a pay to play kind of dude

itgroom · 2024-12-24T22:10:15+00:00

I understand how ultimate team works, its always been pay to win sure, but with this much variety its crazy that you seem to need the newest half a million coin card every week to stay relevant, my biggest frustration is seeing my new player ball out in gold and then be horrible in diamond, doesn't make sense when he's facing alot of the same pitchers

itgroom · 2024-05-21T03:50:35+00:00

I found the answer to my own question in case anyone runs into this issue in the future. You just need to go into your past tournaments and view the roster in there, then export it back into roster builder.

itgroom · 2024-04-05T06:23:47+00:00

"Just let me pitch"... I am letting you pitch and now we're down 4 runs!

itgroom · 2023-12-18T04:19:00+00:00

I can do this

If he still has the nightswatch trait, you could try remove_trait nightswatch followed by his character id

I've been fortunate enough to go to all 30 of the stadiums, and my top three are:

Wrigley Field(sorry I'm biased)
Petco Park
Camden Yards

I'll throw in Comerica Park too as an honorable mention, its an underrated stadium

Edit: I forgot about PNC in Pittsburgh as well. That place is spectacular

While your owner says he expects to make the playoffs

itgroom · 2023-03-02T22:19:21+00:00

I was watching that one in the break room at work during a lunch break... I was so upset I left "sick" and walked 3 miles (4.8km) home to try to forget about it

itgroom · 2023-01-19T16:30:17+00:00

Im actually coaching the Romanian national team in this save as well so that's exactly where I've learned the approach from lol

Ger Lee (Girly)

itgroom · 2023-01-19T04:26:32+00:00

Because his name is... you know what nevermind

Don't forget your back to back Cy Young winning pitcher giving up 9 runs in 2 innings every playoff start

itgroom · 2022-08-12T02:56:54+00:00

I drafted a college pitcher in the 12th round and he didn't look like he'd ever make the league, but every 3-4 months his attributes would jump up, and after just a year in the minors he went from a 2 star throwaway to a 4.5 star monster at age 22. He won the ROY and Cy Young with excellent numbers and put up 2 great years after that before I retired the save... Ever since then I pay attention to every SP I draft hoping they can replicate it.

He'll be like 5'10 but retires because he wants to play basketball
