OOTP 17 Impressions

[Mike Lowe]

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.

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?

I'm hoping for an OOTP with manager mode plus graphics.

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 !!!

Must have started the season on the road and not in the homer dome.

Another question:

How do I turn off Automatic CPU trades in a Season ?
I like to have realistic rosters only

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.
