The first details of the new OOTP XI features have been outlines, and looks awesome  gonna be picking this year's up (I buy every other year's version, so didn't play last year's).http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/192604-little-out-park-baseball-11-update.html quote:- Partly redesigned user interface, making the game more accessible and fun to use. This does include mass-selection of players. Nice to see some more stats that've been much needed, though I woulda liked to see tRA too. And of course those defensive metrics are kinda lovely but considering the state of defensive metrics I'm sure it'll do. Even so, the big draft upgrades are awesome: sounds like it's coming very close to actually mirroring MLB in most of this front office stuff, which is nice.

All of the stuff like that is held in the bottom left of the Edit Player screen (assuming you've got commissioner mode on - pretty sure you need it to create a player, anyway). You may need to scroll down a bit to find it, though, but all of height/weight/fastball speed (it bases the other pitches' speeds off of that automatically)/pitch quality/which pitches you have, etc etc, in that pretty length section.

^^ It has official rosters, ratings and contract data apparently. Not got full minor league rosters, but:quote:The game will ship with the best roster set we have ever produced, with thousands of individually rated real players, updated statistics, and realistic contract data! All of last year's top draft picks will be in the game as well. So, want to take Stephen Strasburg and see if you can get the Nationals to the playoffs? Have at it! http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/newsletters/nl0062/ Also, comes out today (as it is now for me) for those who pre-ordered

AlleyViper posted:What's player progression like in OOTP? If a guy is a big time prospect is he going to pan out every time or are there a decent number of flops? Player quality can fluctuate a LOT, frankly. I haven't gotten too far in to any games in OOTP 11, but back in 09 I remember drafting a second baseman: speedy guy, great defense, would hit for average and had decent gap power. 5 star prospect. Dude never made it out of AA, and was a total scrub. quote:Will a player's performance actually impact whether or not he'll improve? Yep: players will oftentimes come outta nowhere in the minors, suddenly start tearing it up and became ML-quality guys. Other times, guys will do alright in the minors, then hit the majors and just start playing better, and become established stars. That's pretty rare, though, as it is in real life. quote:Can I take a guy as a project and make him into something better than he otherwise would have become? Not really; it's the only thing that particularly frustrates me about OOTP: how a player develops seems totally out of my hands. I guess that's pretty realistic for a GM, though. Scouting is REALLY tough in OOTP. Scouts will often have wildly differing opinions on just about every player, and it's near-impossible to tell how accurate your scout is. I generally turn it off, I admit  I did a 30-year sim of a game, just to see how it handles things, and, well judge for yourself: (Leaving all the images out as they're pretty big...) https://wi.somethingawful.com/c9/c9964a6bef83cf3f2affafcb9128ff3116b0268c.png Pedro Torres, 5th round pick (170th overall). Currently 4th all-time for HRs, just 19 shy of Babe Ruth (and he's not yet retired). He's also 11th all-time for steals. Really close to a fictional Barry Bonds, ultimately. Looks like a bizarre minor league career: sucked, great, good, bad, then promoted to the majors. https://wi.somethingawful.com/b0/b0592d46464505b46654877678f3c1756058153b.png Mathew Sanderson, 34th overall pick. Highest career batting average of any fictional player (.332), and still playing. Had a really bad first year in the minors, but developed steadily very well from there on out. https://wi.somethingawful.com/ad/adac8a11e455e421369bb0d36837cd14df02d5a2.png Edgar Artega, 1st supplemental round pick (52nd overall). Considering how low relievers usually go in OOTP drafts, it's no wonder this guy ended up being crazy good: #1 on the all-time saves list, and the highest fictional player for career ERA (2.41!). Had a shoddy minor league career until he hit A, and just kept getting better. Not yet retired, but hasn't pitched for three years, and is 42. https://wi.somethingawful.com/bb/bb455c8bfdbfec4e1184abebdaa73e4a299140a7.png David Paul, 4th overall pick. Second best VORP (note: only counts VORP from the first season in game, i.e. 2010) of any pitcher (also note: guy in first is a real guy, which isn't quite as useful, I don't think...). The one thing they have really improved is fielding degradation. Tulo went from being the defensive stud we know he is, played elite defense at SS until 2020 when things started going downhill (age 36... probably a bit late for realism, but hey, Jeter's doing okay there nowadays right? still, an elite guy probably CAN stick there longer than a regular guy), and suddenly had to get moved to 2B and 1B ( ) from there on out to be worth playing. By the time he retired he's listed as having no playing talent at SS at all. Which is great to see.No idea how much you can really gleam from any/all of that... but it does give a bit of insight, anyway. Can't really find first round busts, unfortunately (no historical draft logs, only previous years, as far as I can find  ), but rest assured they do happen. Often. Any other screenshots you want, just shout.e: hey I was beaten, but who knows maybe mine'll still be of a little help AlleyViper posted:b.) My most recent BBM season I did an expansion draft Rockies game. Leo Gomez became my starter at third base in my second year and, as a guy who was mid-70s overall, went for 30+ bombs and a ~.900 OPS. Since he's loving Leo Gomez, though, he regressed following the year. Can't answer a), but for b): It's pretty random, but I would say the vast majority of the time, if a guy has a breakout year he won't be awful the year after. He may not reach the same heights, but he'll still put up decent numbers. Sometimes they'll repeat; sometimes they'll do badly, but then have another great year after that. Things fluctuate a LOT. You can tone all that down, though, if you really want. Allyn fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Apr 24, 2010 |

There's also a tickbox for "Enable incomplete minor league rosters" somewhere under those same options. Can't remember exactly which menu, though, off the top of my head

Apparently I forgot to mention in my post, but remember that OOTP14 is not the latest version (that's 15). But still, it's a dollar, so you can't really go wrong even if it is an old version

Can someone with OOTP17 do me a quick favour? My hard drive hosed up because of some bad blocks while I was playing yesterday. Had to hard reset. Once I'd sorted everything out I loaded OOTP back up and now my Manager's Office screen has Your Next Game as each of the 15 squares. Verifying game integrity didn't sort it out. Any chance someone could quickly take a screenshot of the default setup so I can fix it manually? Cheers
