I love OOTP's depth but I find Mogul so much more accessible. The new engine sounds great, but they have never put it out for Mac and don't appear to be starting now.

Fork of Unknown Origins posted:OOTP13 is available now if you preordered. I'm downloading right now. The new random debut randomized MLB database thing is awesome. I created new league and populated it with random players then held the inaugural draft. The first player chosen? Dan Brouthers #2? Mickey Mantle #3 Sandy Koufax #4 JR Richard #5 Rube Waddell #6 Noodles Hahn I took Chief Bender #7 overall. All of them playing in a league structured like 2011 MLB. I passed on Lou Gehrig because he's already 37 years old.

Nevermind, I found it. It's under "Historical" and then you just have to force a fantasy draft. I felt honorbound to take Johnny Bench in his prime (22) first seeing as I'm a diehard Reds fan. The next picks were Charlie Greggus, Tex Hughson, Jesse Tannehill and Rogers Hornsby. I kind of wish there were an option to only have players that started after a certain year so that there wouldn't be as many 1800s guys that I haven't heard of, but I have gained a new appreciation for how many obscure baseball players have wikipedia pages. Also the "Real Life Stats" button was a fantastic decision. This is definitely a worthy upgrade to OOTP12.

Yeah I really am enjoying this OOTP13. But then again I haven't played 12 in so long either. I really enjoy the new pitching engine, that is for sure.

I've really been critical of Markus & Co. with all the problems of OOTP11 and OOTP12, but so far, I'm really liking OOTP13. A lot of the smaller nagging details that bothered me are resolved, such as sorting by ratings in talent-only leagues, owners no longer wearing uniforms, and regional leagues sort of work.

If you're doing historical draft it's best to only have one (or max 2) minor league levels. For now at least any more and you'll have to fill them all with fictional players.

So after a couple days of playing way too much of ootp13 I have to say it is a very worthy upgrade to 12. The GUI is mostly the same but better laid out and with better information where it belongs (full divisional standings on the team screen yesssss.) The bar is on the side now instead of the top but it's pretty much all the same menus and screens, just better. The historical random debut thing is neat but needs a little work. I'm not sure how well it would balance long term if you have more than one or two minor league levels. I'll definitely mess around with it a bit once I restore the Reds to their rightful place as dominant team in the NL central. It's not new but putting trading on 'easy' turns all other GMs into complete idiots. The only challenge at that point is deciding who off your allstar team to trade for all the best prospects when you run out of money. So yeah, basically if you like the genre 13 is a must have. If you don't then 13 won't change that but I doubt anything would; it's 100% a niche game. On a side note I got the football manager demo. It seems like it would be really awesome if I understood soccer at all, but sadly no.

So I just had my first draft in a MLB league and did they make rookies a LOT better? I was pulling 4.5 star potential guys way later than I'm used to, and that's with scouting accuracy set to high.

Telex posted:haha goddamn. The dynamic storylines are actually much cooler than I thought they'd be. A lot of it is fluff like players opening restaurants and taking girls with leukemia to the prom, but a really cool one was reports of a feud developing between Tim Lincecum and Brandon Belt that got to the point where they got in a fight in the dugout. Following that the Giants went into free fall and with Lincecum in the last year of his deal they put him on the trading block.

Does anyone play in an online league for OOTP 13? I imagine that takes awhile, but has anyone ever done it? edit: this is my first year owning the game, and I started a 24 team major league in England with randomly created players and no trading from other major leagues, so it's purely a self contained bubble. The inaugural year's darling pitcher through spring training is a guy named "Ben Affleck". Does the game often use names like this, or just a coincidence?

I see that there. posted:Does anyone play in an online league for OOTP 13? I did for an older version of the game (6.5 I believe). Was fun but I just didn't have the time to keep up. A lot of the people in it took things seriously and I was getting a lot of e-mails and IMs about trades and such. Not a big deal, but I decided it was just too much time at that stage in my life.

Has anyone figured out House Rules yet for this game (if they are needed)? Basically things I shouldn't do to rip off the AI. I know in the past I could nab decent prospects on the waiver wire and they vastly undervalued relievers. Also, is there a consensus on the trade difficulty? It seemed that hard was pretty solid. Normal wasn't bad but I was still able to pull off a deal that I shouldn't from time to time. Hard seems to not give me much ground at all but I'd rather that be the case than it be too easy.

goddamn. bit the bullet, got the OOTP13 even though Diablo 3 is coming out soon enough that i'm basically playing this game for 2 weeks and maybe not again until July or August. I start up a new game, and here's my first 2 weeks of the major league season  what the gently caress OOTP. seriously. what the gently caress. Oh and Berkman wants 20 mil to stick around past this year. I'm loving trading everyone. Everyone. All of them.

This is a new "feature" that I dislike in 2013. I could stand a couple of 1-2 week dingers a month on random players, that's cool. Having ALL of my power hitters AND my two best pitchers simultaneously nuked from orbit for 5 months was kinda lovely. (It took out Molina for the sweep about a week later, woop).

Thanks for the offer, but maybe next year. I'm not a huge baseball guy, and playing a sim like this is still pretty new to me, I'd just slow you guys down, but I do appreciate it. I was mostly asking to hear about the experience, like the other poster said, a lot of seriousness and emails about stuff is what I expected to be the norm. I was sort of wondering how the pacing works, and stuff like that.

Well, normally there is a commish who makes sure things run smoothly. Basically, they'll just run the sim without your input, which normally amounts to just setting the week's line ups.

I've come to enjoy simulation leagues over fantasy leagues because simulation leagues tend to only sim a few times a week or even once per week. You usually have a couple days from the time the previous simulation is run to adjust your roster for injuries and make any lineup changes. The experience is all about finding a decent group of people to interact with who want to make trades and participate in the league. tadashi fucked around with this message at 15:07 on May 3, 2012 |

What's awesome is when you get to the world series to find the other team found a 5 star player in Panama mid-season and he is now carrying them through the playoffs. At least they have playoff rosters now so teams can't just find some player who got an incredible ratings boost after being released from their AA team in mid-September.
