We have fixed all reported issues that we were able to reproduce, and found quite a few ones which may be related to crashing issues that a few users are experiencing. On top of that, we have improved the AI in multiple areas and also further tweaked player development.

Two new features have been added as well:
1) You can now assign starting pitchers in the 7-day lineup screen, giving you full control over your team.
2) In the player strategy screen you can now set a player to a position which is forced upon the AI when it selects the depth charts and lineups. This feature is useful if you do not handle your minor league teams but want to teach certain players new positions.

But we did not stop there, we have also improved the in-game text and with the great help of some beta testers the play-by-play as well. It now mentions more stats and also things like league rankings.

We'll also have a special promotion very soon for the playoffs, offering OOTP 9 at a reduced price for a limited time. :)

Cheers,
Markus
