    The only way I've ever really played OOTP was with Fictional leagues, so I was wondering if there's been enough new changes in that department to warrant getting the new one. The last one I bought was OOTP9, so any changes that came along in '10 would apply also.
    I've never purchased OOTP, so correct me if I'm wrong.

    First you have the ability to dynamically evolve your league. This means you can manually create an expansion team, or change the league rules. You can change the schedule length, playoffs, ballpark dimensions, etc.

    You have the ability to create custom playoffs, which I believe is new. I remember playing the demo of 9 I think and I didn't like the way the playoffs were set. You can fix that.

    The new drafting additions come into play when you start with the fantasy draft. You have to manage your budget while creating the best team you can.

    You pretty much have control over anything you want. It's awesome.

      Just the interface changes alone from 9 to 10 and 10 to 11 warrant buying 11. Buy it. You will not regret it.

        Juiceman612, are you the same Juiceman that does the great car setups for sim racing?

        OOTP is awesome. I like the baseball sim so much, that I bought their Boxing sim just because I was so happy with the way the game lays out. Now if I'm looking for a football sim of the same quality.

          I know the season has just started but some moves have been made not present in the rosters... so where do I find an updated database?


          Further, I cant figure out how to update my rosters PRIOR to starting a game. Is it even possible? I wish this game had an editor resembling Football Manager -- that way you edit EVERYTHING in a special program meaning more preciseness, and incorporate that database into the game..

            Start a game in Commissioner Mode then you can make the changes you want before you start playing the game. You could also save it as a quickstart so you don't have to make the same changes all the time, I did that when I added a NCAA feeder league.

              For a more true MLB experience, I suggest you guys add the all in one MLB mod. You can add this from within the game.

              Installation Instructions - All Leagues
              This mod has been made available through PadresFan's servers and <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym>'s in-game add-ons functionality, so downloading and installing it should be a snap!
              1. Load <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> and load any saved game/start a new one. (it doesn't matter which one, you just have to be in a game to get to the Add-ons Central)
              2. Navigate to <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> Menu >> Add-ons Central.
              3. Click on Reload Add-Ons List. You should now see PadresFan's server and some add-ons in the list.
              4. Click on the Download button next to H.F.P. 2010 MLB All-in-One (all leagues).
              5. Wait for the download to complete. The mod is over 200 MB in size, so it may take a few minutes. Don't worry if it looks like it's not doing anything - it is!
              6. When it is complete, click the Install button.
              7. When that is done, return to the <acronym title="Out of the Park Baseball">OOTP</acronym> Main screen, and click on New 2010 Major League Game. That's it! Your new game should have all of the above!
              Are there any other mods as great as this one for OOTP?

                Hello, I am looking for a realistic computer baseball game , computer or console, that would allow me to play a fantasy league as a general manager with 2010 MLB real player ratings as well as limiting player playing time to real life 2010 MLB games played. I do not want random injuries, only those that actually happened in 2010. Can baseball mogul or Out of the park 11 or another game do this with a fantasy league? Please help!!!!

                  First of all, I love the OOTP series and recently bought OOTP 11 on a whim one night. I usually create a "baseball universe" that includes full Majors, minors, college, high school, Japanese, Cuban and a few "oddball leagues" (a Macedonian professional baseball league where the salary ceiling is only $100,000 and player stats are the equivalent of 1970's era baseball, and a European Baseball League, which has every major European nation playing a short 32 game campaign. May come up with a creative playoff series for that if possible).

                  I personally love fictional leagues. It may be confusing at first but once real "stars" emerge, tracking their careers (and the progress of teams) is unlike anything else in gaming today. OOTP has always been amazing in that regard and 11 is nothing different.

                  I'm yet to find out all the "little things" the game has going for it (after overplaying the free version of OOTP8 I've barely scratched the surface of 11) so I'm keeping my eyes peeled. But as of right now, definitely the best in the series. Tons of depth and a hell of a lot of fun.

                      OOTP has a demo available, that would probably be enough to let you know.

                            I'm way late to this, but I saw Steve's post about this being on sale for $19.99 so I grabbed it and thus far am having a blast. Goofed around with the 1971 Oriole's because I've heard a lot about that pitching staff recently. (I'm only 29) Then started to rebuild with the 2010 Orioles. I'm new to text-sims but I am enjoying this.

                              i'm messing around with the demo but am OVERWHELMED with the options!

                              i've always wondered what the show could be if they used some the ratings and all the sim stuff from OOTP though.

                                Does the game include interactions with individual players, like Football Manager 2011? Like: peptalks and bringing them into your office to scream at them for a bit. That sort of thing?
