Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

lol go tribe
question....... how do you improve moral

Not sure if this has been answered or not. I have found that winning helps this out a bunch. I know it sounds like the obvious, but some dudes are just not happy if they are not winning. Also, look at others personalities on the team. A few individual's personalities may be hurting the team.

Haven't played Out of the Park Baseball since OOTP 12, Downloading it now as I love everything that they have this year. Really looking forward to taking my "General Manager Role"

Bye Bye 39.99 in addition to 69.99 for the Show

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

The game is fantastic. I think it's better than the Show 16 (and I have both so am speaking from personal experience).

People keep saying that there is no competition for the Show because of their exclusivity deal, but OOTP has a way to truly change that. If they can somehow focus on adding the *option* of user gameplay with even just respectable graphics and continue to grow that, I think in a few years they could be the game that rivals the Show.

If they somehow can eventually match the visuals, they'd someday outsell the Show too.

As long as they stay true to allowing it to still be a baseball sim, they have the potential to completely alter the industry.

And then if they do the same for football...just wow.

Actually, there no longer is an exclusivity deal for baseball, it's just that no one else wants to make a baseball game right now.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

How much control does one have when managing a game? Can I tell what pitch the pitcher pitches? How about the batter how much control do I have there?

Can't tell a pitcher what pitcher to throw but can tell him such things as pitch around batter, pitch to contact, walk batter, hit batter.

You can tell the hitter to take pitches, swing away, bunt, and steal.

Overall, I just manage my team in it's games rarely telling them what to do.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

As someone who is new at this game, how do you all play the game? Do you go game-by-game or do you simulate a lot? Do you manage each game?

Also, is there a good guide for newcomers that anyone recommends? The contract stuff in the game is pretty complicated.

I simulate a lot. What I tend to do is simulate a series at a time, then evaluate what's going on in the league, make any moves that need to be made, etc.

Imagine if OOTP teamed up with someone to develop gameplay... that would be game over.

This game is so addicting. I'm finishing the Divsion and then going to fully dive into OOTP. I can't wait.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

playing with tribe, typical 1-9 start. lol so the game is spot on again

They made it to the ALCS in my first SIM. Kluber finished 23-2 and then blew out his arm in the playoffs. So you know, this game is pretty accurate when it gives Cleveland its usual doses.

As an Indians fan myself, I'd say the idea that you aren't sure whether they are going to start 1-9 and suck the rest of the year, or make the ALCS is spot on.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

Thanks for that information, Perceptor ![emoji2]On the OOTP 17 Forum...I was told that roster updates were made 20 times last year, whenever any type of update was made available

Keep in mind that any roster update is going to require that you start a new league file.

The game can't apply roster changes to an existing file as that would be impossible to coordinate.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

I started a season with Toronto last night...a few games in...some unrealistic results so far...after 5 games...no Home Runs for Donaldson...only 2 HR's for the entire team ! Encarnacion is something like 1 for 16 in batting ! And when using RA Dickey pitching, it says he is throwing breaking balls...but does not state knuckleballs even once !!!

Andrew McCutchen hit under. 200 for the first month of the 2015 season.

This stuff happens. If you're looking for a game that's going to automatically give Donaldson 40 home runs then this isn't the game for you.

Regarding the knuckleball, I think the pbp refers to it as a breaking ball but I would need to check to make sure.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

Can anyone suggest some great fictional Leagues for me to download and start with?

You're 5 games in bud. That's nothing. It happens and I wouldn't fret right now.

Re: Official OOTP 17 Impressions

I'm in late May and Bautista is hitting something like .150/.240/.350

Straight out of the Frank Thomas days

When he turns it on it will be glorious though.
