I'm pretty sure its an easter egg of some sorts since in BBM I've seen the name come up in multiple simulations when you get past the point of historical players in the draft. Cletus Fuckhat. He just keeps reappearing.

Garret Anderson did break 4000 hits and retired at the end of the season. I added Yu Darvish, and simmed a few seasons past. Him and Tim Lincecum both had seasons where they only lost 1 game all season.

 I was thinking, what if I made an alternate reality 1915 league where the MLB didn't win all the Anti-trust lawsuits they had filed against them so you had the: United Major League Baseball Association consisting of: American, National, Federal and Pacific Coast leagues. How would I do the playoffs? I don't have any idea how they're thinking of doing them in '13, but I would imagine for historical accuracy, you'd have the east coast leagues do a play off series (maybe AL/NL against FL) and then they play the PCL or something (to eliminate ridiculous train trips from New York to Los Angeles). You could do East v. West, and because of the four day travel play four games in one city, then have three days off and play the last three in the other city (if you could even do that in OOTP...) Oh the wait. Can't wait for opening day and OOTP.

I noticed when building an encyclopedia that a Dick Green of the 1969 Oakland Athletics had walked 242 times, 216 intentionally, for a batting line of .256/.545/.338 Does anyone know if I can find out who he was batting in front of? Not that there's literally anyone in the world it makes sense to walk him that many times for, not with a .338 SLG  This is from the earliest save I have in that game

How do you guys do long term sims in OOTP without running into poo poo like "Random Low A team has an illegal number of players (7)!" in the first roster expansion? I'd love to sim a few decades and just leave it running but that always happens

Yeah, Rule #1 is to immediately bump the injury rate to Low or Very Low, because setting it to "realistic modern day" settings means that 60% of your rotation and 80% of your lineup's going to be injured at the end of the season

Moe_Rahn posted:"realistic modern day" is really more along the lines of "realistic 2009 new york mets" The game keeps trying to give one of my superstars a CEI. I'm all "gently caress that noise", and changing the injury to something like a papercut. It's happened 3 times in two seasons! I should combine 'concussion' and 'torn labrum'(torn UCLs are frequent too but not nearly as bad as far as career enders go) to some sort of super injury. BTW, just started the 2020 season, and the Marlins decided to up and move to San Antonio, calling themselves the Wallabies. That makes a whole lot of sense, I guess.

I think I've figured out what I want OOTP to do in regards to prospects: instead of having maybe one five star prospect, two 4.5 star prospects, a smattering of 2-and-3-star prospects and the rest one-stars in each draft and have almost all of them hit their potential ratings, I want the game to generate a big pile of five-star and four-star prospects and have most of them fail to meet their potential and become 1-, 2-, or 3-star prospects. Is there any way to do this? e: and also to make the draft class not be 90% middle relievers, almost nobody drafted is a reliever in high-school or college CraigK fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Mar 9, 2012 |

Is there any way to do this? If you're using OOTP 11 or earlier, there's no way to reduce the number of relievers without manually editing the draft class. There was supposed to be a patch to 12 that reduced the number of relief pitchers the draft generated. I don't think you can make the game generate more top notch prospects, either. You can slow down player development. It's in the game setup menus.

quote:2012 Major League rosters, along with rule changes introduced by the new major league labor agreement, including Houston's AL West move in 2013 and a second wild card team in each major league, starting with the 2013 playoffs. That's the email for people who are not on the mailing list. First round byes is important because you could hypothetically go 2 plays 3 winner plays 1, where as before you had to have an number that was a power of two.

The MLB-based OOTP 11 league that Toona the Cat used to run has something like 10 teams open and we're looking for some managers to come hang, get screwed over in hilariously bad trades, and possibly win championships without really trying. The following teams are (probably) open: DET, KC, MIN, NYY, SEA, CIN, MIL, COL, SD, LAD We've just started the 2019 season so you can get a feel for how the league runs before you have to make any transactions. Since it's 2019, a lot of real life players have retired but the draft class of 2011 is entering its prime so there are a lot of present day prospects playing big roles in the league. Here's the news page: http://www.toonathecat.net/scmlb/news/html/leagues/league_100_home.html Nobody really told me to recruit but I'm sure if you're interested we'd love to have you. There are several SA forum members in the league and it's been a lot of fun in the 6 seasons I've been in the league now.

I wish there was like an upgrade edition where if you have the previous year you could get the new one at a discount. I would definitely buy 13 if it was 25 or something near that but 40 is really steep. I always wait until the WS when it drops down to 20 bucks and he's done with updates.

Oh hey, the NDA has lifted so there is tonnes of information out on the boards on OOTP13. There's a new pitching model meaning most pitchers start as starters but get relegated to the bullpen based on the number of pitches they have, You can create leagues based around regions. The trading system has improved (I don't know how much by, seems to be about Brian Cashman level, not Andrew Friedman level). high level catchers frame pitchers better. more customisable playoffs (First round byes! Yay!). 2012 CBA additions minus some elements of the draft system (it has the "no major league contract" options). Real Time Scores - so basically you click "play real time" and the entire league plays out a day in real time (or at what ever speed you want) so you can watch an entire league's games at once like you're at MLB.com or something. People seem to be raving about it, per usual. I don't know if there are any real paradigm shifts, but it's still got some big improvements. edit: The amount of by the testers is remarkable considering they would have spent the last however many weeks ironing out game crashing bugs, so if they still have enthusiasm for the game then that's a good sign.
