Re: ***The Official OOTP Thread***

My team has an ERA of 5.01 lol, yet I'm at 78-67 and tied for 1st in the wildcard standings with the Nats. I'm already 10 games behind SF so division is out of reach. My pitching is just awful from starting pitching to my closer.

Know the feeling. I picked up Ubaldo Jiminez last offseason as a Free Agent. I didn't pay him a ton of money, but needed a spot filled from Arroyo.

His ratings seemed decent, and that was about all that was decent. He was rough to say the least. Worst decision of my General Manager Career so far.

Is OOTP not providing a demo for those of us still on the fence?

Yea, my rotation was a mess. Should have called up Chatwood earlier, he was great for me. 4-1 2.61ERA in 6 starts late in the year, and most importantly saved my bullpen.

Probably sometime in June.

Finished the year 84-78, missed the playoffs by 1 game. St.Louis, Pittsburgh and Cinci finished 85-77 for 3 way tie for the 2nd wildcard spot. That sounds fun for them.

Re: ***The Official OOTP Thread***

I'm trying to do Mayberry and Tyson Gillies for Amarista and Garrett Richards from LAA, which would open up a spot for Tabata to start in the OF. Then again, the Rays would do Price for Tabata, hmm..

If I did that I could probably trade a starter for an outfielder to replace Tabata. Definitely gonna put that into consideration..

Laynce Lynn for Sonny Gray, Leake, Milone, Smyly, Kipnis, Pomeranz, Beavan. I'm liking the idea of getting Gray.

That's a hell of a year for the NL Central.

Halladay out for 1-2 weeks with a hurt ankle, why not call up Biddle from AA. Looking forward to watching how he does in Doc's absence.

Does the mod work on Mac? or is it only for Windows?

There should be a demo available for past versions that should give you an idea about the game.

If you're referring to the All-In-One Mod I can confirm it works on Mac. At least it works fine on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro.

Re: ***The Official OOTP Thread***

I acquired Jose Fernandez to take Lee's spot (down for 5-6 months, ugh), had to give up Parmelee.

Lynn trade hasn't gone through yet, neither has the Amarista/Mayberry swap. Trying to get Cron thrown in along with Richards because I'm trading them Maikel Franco.

Also attempting to free up some salary for other trades (Hanley took up alot of my payroll along with the pitchers), maybe Mike Adams for a younger, less-costly reliever is the way to go - Jonny Venters? Also being offered Chris Young (OF), Prado, Adam Jones, Anthony Rizzo, Marmol, Alex Gordon, Clippard.

My thinking is if I get Gordon/Jones, I trade Tabata for Price and then one of my starters go to relief I suppose.

Is there an actual game to watch or is it just all text?

Mostly text. Here's a screenshot of a play by play. There's a 2d ball that you can see, but that's about it.

Is there a way to create your own awards instead of just renaming the original ones they give you?

Also, can you go in and out of Commissioner mode?

Gonna give this thread a Sticky since we seem to have a good group going here.
