Re: Fans of this series, sell me on it...

So you can only watch the game you don’t get to mage the game by choosing bunt or hit and run or pulling pitchers?

Everything you do is from the management side. So you can choose to bunt for a hit, hit and run, warm up pitchers, double switch etc. It does feel very disconnected though.
Basically your options are
Swing away
Bunt for hit
Take pitch
Steal
Hit and run
Similar options on the pitching side, and you can

You can either have the game let you choose those selections each pitch or have it so you pick 1 per at bat and then have the game just show you the result (swing and miss, grounder to the left side etc) if you want a little faster experience

All you get though are very basic 3d models which removes a lot of the immersion from the game.

It is still a great game but I do agree that I wish there was a way to get MLB the show type gameplay with Ootp depth

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, bunt for hit is the one option I can't find that I'm shocked wasn't in.

I only have those options but instead of bunt for hit, it's just bunt.

I would really like both but can't seem to find out to bunt for hit.

(I would like to assume that selecting bunt with no one on would automatically default to bunt for hit but haven't had success. And beyond that, there are times with a runner on first that I would prefer to try and bunt for a hit versus sacrificing.

To original poster, if you have the time, you simply have to buy and play it.

I got an email today that it is currently on sale for $9.99. So if you're on the fence, now might be a time to take the plunge.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if you can do expansion team(s) complete with an expansion draft? Thanks in advance!

Yes you can. Sometimes the game will even add expansion teams on its own (unless you turn that feature off)

Each team submits a list of protected players and then the expansion teams draft

Yes - either done via real life history or you can add your own at any point in any off-season with protection lists.

Last version I played was 2018.

Just bought 21 for $4.99

It is the deepest baseball simulation in terms of running your franchise or creating whatever baseball universe you want. If you like text sims this is the GOAT of all text sim sports games.

I will have some fun with this....for $5 it was a insanely easy no brainer.

$4.99

This is all anyone needs to be sold on the game right now. I usually pick it up during the ASB sale, but didn't this year. Just bought it for the $5.

Sale lasts until January 5 at 1 PM ET for anyone else interested.
