Pork Pie Hat posted:I appreciate that this post is nearly three weeks old so my reply might now be redundant, but what does being in an OOTP league involve? I mean how does it work? Yeah looking to fill the Giants, Astros, Royals, and Mets. Being in an online league you play it just like normal but you have to download a new file after every sim. This can be done in-game, but if there's a problem you'll have to download it from a website and just put the folder into your saved_games folder. Before every sim you'll export your changes to the ftp server, also done in-game, and I will import whatever changes you made to your organization before the next sim. When I run the sims I broadcast them live on twitch most of the time and our website has a chatroom and we usually have a substantial turnout to watch the games. These usually last about an hour. Is that a good explanation? con fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Jan 28, 2016 |

oldskool posted:I'm not sure if stadiums evolve. I've never seen it happen, but to be fair I've personally never had a league really evolve at all. Teams will move stadiums at the appropriate time if you have the league set to evolve historically. I haven't done a long historical sim in forever, so I don't know about the capacity thing when you start in the pre-modern era. I know I did one starting in the 40's or 50's and the Giants moved to Seal Stadium for the first two seasons in San Francisco before settling into Candlestick. Likewise with the Dodgers and LA Memorial Coliseum. I thought that was cool. You can also ask questions like these on the OOTP forums and usually get a solid response since this is a pretty straight forward question. Other questions or suggestions usually get a lot of poo poo posts.

In short, I do the team management parts, upload, you then SIM the games, I download the updated save after the games, then repeat, right? If you're happy with a relative novice joining I'd love to join in.

Something not in that list but in the article that is also important (to me at least) is that they support multi-core processors now. So for people like me who very rarely play games it will (supposedly) no longer take absolutely forever to sim through a month (or even a week).

They generally do a half off sale during the allstar break, and before that you might be able to catch it for 10-20% off during a big steam sale. Which would be $32 at 20%.

Speaking of OOTP, I did an interview for my blog with Markus and the crew at OOTP, and while he crushes my dreams a couple times (no radio broadcast mode, no Inside the Park 2), it's kinda interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes. https://www.an8bitmind.com/index.php/2016/04/04/an-interview-with-the-folks-over-at-out-of-the-park-baseball/

So I just got 17 yesterday and started messing with it. As someone who has hundreds of hours sunk into Football Manager over the years while also being a huge baseball fan, I feel incredibly at home in this In 2016, unlike in reality, the Cubs were absolute dogshit and finished third in the NL Central, while my Mets ran away with the NL East (it didn't help the Cubs lost Lester and Arrieta for the season in like, June) Turns out the 2016 WS is going to be a rematch of the 1986 WS, which the Mets are gonna win in a sweep This is a good and fun game

Not trying to steal Armitage's thunder (the Super League looks awesome and you should all definitely join it) but my long-running online OOTP league is looking for a few new members as we've just made the conversion to OOTP17. We've been running since 2008 so we're about to enter our eighth year of existence and the league's 37th season overall. We've got a couple SAS members in the league already, and others who are past members. If you've never done an OOTP online league I highly recommend it, it's much more challenging than the AI and the time commitment is literally whatever you want to make it. And first-time online leaguers tend to make the best members, I've found! Here's the post on the OOTPDev forums that I made that goes into a little of the league specifics: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-17-online-leagues/267343-rising-star-league-moves-ootp17.html If anybody happens to be interested, just reach out to me here or via PM or via email.

So this is going on in my current game: He's apparently a 34th round draft pick who in-game was traded for a middling closer while still in rookie ball. I had nothing to do with any of this editing or otherwise. His initial scouting ratings were 1/2/1 and SOMETHING happened when he was in A ball. Something...big. So, that's 6 straight Cy Youngs, 5 straight MVPs. I don't think I've ever seen a better player in this game that wasn't some sort of edited thing. Also in this game Mike Trout has managed to stay pretty much healthy and productive into his 30s and he's approaching Ruthian career levels, which I've also never seen. bewbies fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Oct 10, 2016 |

Lol this poo poo is always amazing. I've never had Mike Trout have a better year in OOTP than any of his real previous years. Just like how Pablo Sandoval was the greatest player ever in like ootp 13/14/15 whenever really.

In my game Trout had a few bad injury seasons but otherwise didn't have an OPS+ under 140 through 2030. He completely stopped hitting home runs when he hit thirty though (and only hit 11 in fictional 2015), so he just barely hit 400. What's interesting is he's played for eight different teams, with two separate stints with Texas and LAA, and has never won a championship. And he appears to be ending his career with the 32-58 Cleveland Indians so I don't think it's gonna happen. His last playoff run was at age 37, with Texas, he hit .339/.464/.536 that postseason in 16 games. They lost in the World Series.

Ok here's some interesting career shots. This was kind of a strange game in this regard...a random all time great, trout and Harper both having long and relatively injury free careers. I managed the Royals until 2020 (I think) and then resigned and just ran a sim. I made no edits to any player. Carlos Correa: could have been the best SS of all time, but had some major injury problems after his age 25 season.  Bryce Harper: I signed him to a 10 year, 350mm deal as the Royals (lol), I think my world class trainer did a great job of keeping him healthy. Fell off the cliff badly at age 33 but that 13.0 WAR .363/.492/.700 season is maybe the best I've ever seen from an outfielder.  Clayton Kershaw: was brilliant as expected, signed HUGE deal (8 years, 45mm per year I think?) with the Pirates and promptly blew out his shoulder.  Manny Machado: pretty close to the best 3B of all time. Yankees signed him to a stupid huge deal in his first UFA year and certainly got their money's worth:  Some regen catcher who I posted because he is probably the best all around catcher of all time:  Giancarlo: Made it to the HoF despite always being hurt and becoming the all time ML leader in K's:  Trout: 3rd all time WAR (behind Cobb's 176 and Ruth's 167), kind of funny he appears to have developed a Bondsian eye out of nowhere at age 33. I think he could have easily passed Ruth if he'd stuck around but retired young (relatively).  And now this motherfucker: he's still pitching and is still useful at age 41 but I got tired of waiting for the stupid sim. 5 MVPs, 11 Cy Youngs. 16 ASGs.  Here's his contract history which is also kind of funny:  Opted out of his 7/112 Padres contract in 2025, signed with KC for 7/239 (this was the CPU, I had resigned by this point), opted out there after 2 years, signed with Reds for 7/283, signed 2/125 with Indianapolis (expansion team), then 2/89 with Seattle, and just finished 1/16 with Colorado. I have inflation set to between 2 and 5% per year but still, lol. All that said I think the funniest thing of all is he's still nowhere near Ryan's strikeout record.

He's less than 500 Ks away from Ryan, which is pretty impressive considering exactly one other pitcher ever has gotten within 1000. I'm only into 1911 in my attempt to go 1901-present, so nobody's done anything really ridiculous yet. (Well except me, trading the White Sox enough pieces for a World Series run to get an underperforming, non-power-developing Gavvy Cravath  )e: and the moment I say that, Connie Mack gets fired in 1911, 39 years early.

So after only playing historical exhibitions and simming historical what if's to see how Negro League and would do in the MLB, I finally decided to actually play a season-long+ game. For some reason, I decided my first game was to try and one up Sandy Alderson and started with the 2011 Mets in a historical game. However by 2014/15 I've noticed that some of the prospects and my players had their ratings either shoot up (Justin Turner) or collapse (Matt Harvey even though his arm didn't explode this time) and it's probably going to be not as fun if I decided to just trade for prospects I know that are going to be good even if they have low potential ratings. Because of this, I've been thinking of using the development engine instead of recalculations on real stats every season and enabling the scouting system. I do have a couple of questions about this however. 1) This is more for a standard game, but how common is it for a player's potential to improve like I assume with Tyler Watson in bewbies' game? 2)Is it still relatively common in this mode for the same players to be good? Asking in case I decide to use this mode for future historical simulations. 3) How will relievers who became starters be handled like Adam Wainwright or pitchers who became hitters and vice versa like Ruth, Musial and Ankiel?

Because of this, I've been thinking of using the development engine instead of recalculations on real stats every season and enabling the scouting system. I do have a couple of questions about this however. You have two choices for how historical players develop: one is they basically take the historical stats for each season, set up each players production for that season based on what he did historically, and sim it out for that year. So like, 1961 Roger Maris' power is through the roof for that year, but they fall off...abruptly after that, because that's what he did historically. The relief pitcher thing is handled in the same way, like Dennis Eckersley's scouting report will show him as a top notch starter in 1985, and then he'll suddenly turn into a reliever in 1986. I personally find this approach pretty dull as you know EXACTLY when a player is going to break out, or alternatively fall off, etc. The other way to do it is they feed in a "career potential" kind of setup when the player is built, and they get thrown into the game, and the game engine just takes over from there. So, like George Brett gets put into the game in 1970-something, and starts with the potential to be a .390/.454/.664 hitter eventually. He'll then develop just like any other player...might get to .390 territory, might not....might be even better. This is a lot more fun as you can kind of see "what ifs" based on player talent level but with them in different situations, different injury histories, etc. You can turn up the randomness too, so they'll get more (or bigger) bumps or hits to their ability and thus you'll have even more variation. I did a complete computer sim of all baseball history using this on a previous OOTP and the results were pretty cool...Babe Ruth hit like 800 HRs, Ted Williams sucked, Roger Clemens didn't even make the majors, etc.
