I was expecting this to go the route of "would he lose all of his fielding ability" -- But yeah at the age of 40, if his Defensive ability has already dropped to 50, I would expect him to be pretty...

I think at a high-level the GM's perform fine, but they're fine for a video game. Rule 5 Draft is a perfect example -- there are always 5-10 Relievers who are 47 OVR with 55 POT who never get picked...

You might've not seen it with Soto specifically, but you've certainly seen it. It's the exact reason why one GM will treat his 23 year old SP with 75 POT like he's the next Roger Clemens and why...

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. As others have said, HS Pitchers have a much higher chance of being busts than college pitchers.

Typically I don't like to take HS Pitchers in the first...

I really don't think that a new hitting coach will solve these issues in the span of one season. You probably just had a season where the majority of your lineup ended up on the 'bad' portion of...

What exactly is the influence of having coaches with specific focuses?

Typically I've hired my coaching staff to have neutral preferences so that I'm able to draft the best players available without worry. Plus that way I don't have to babysit the minor leagues more...

Interesting -- so it sounds like the AI might have it right (unsurprisingly). Obviously 3B turn less double plays than middle infielders, but still feel like it happens plenty but the stats might...

Just going to ignore the Rockies piece because that throws a wrench in it all and that's for you to figure out.

College pitchers are generally MUCH safer, you can start to really stack middle of...

Which is the better 3B Fielding Profile?

Typically my Third-Baseman come from the range challenged shortstop profile. Meaning they'll usually have range around 60, infield error around 65, infield arm around 65, and turn double play around...

I'll usually increase batting development to like 1.1 and pitching development to 1.050. I decrease aging just a bit, maybe like .900.

Batting and pitching development is the only thing I think...

Another tip I'd recommend is finding a utility player than can play seven or eight positions. They've often became my favorite player and they help me pay more attention to matchups. For example, I...

100% on your "scouts give you a list of top 20 prospects on another team" idea. Personally one of the issues I run into and I'm guessing many others, is what to do when an AI team offers you a 70 OVR...

Absolutely not. First, you'd have to account for the fact your prospect is farish from the MLB and that he could bust. Perhaps a 60ish POT SP/positional player and a first five rounds draft pick and...

Few simple features that I think OOTP 21 cannot be released without

I think this game could massively improve if we could see why assistant GM's, trainers, and scouts have the reputations they have.

For example, I want to know why scouts have a legendary...

100% on #5. International FA's both 16 year olds and 27 year olds are the key to making your window go from five or seven years to twenty. They're a god damn cheat code if your scout does it well.

Do coaches ratings change?

I followed this in the editor once for one of my HOF players who turned into a coach and he never changed a bit. But that is one guy.

So say you hire a 36 year old hitting coach with 125 teach...

Curious what you all would trade for my CFer. I'm disagreeing with the AI.

So Nate Scott. First round pick of mine in 2024. Shoots through the system and produces 3.0 WAR in 512 PA's in his first year. Unfortunately, I have a complete logjam in the OF with Juan Soto, Mike...

Absolutely agree on pitchers. We are doing the same thing. Batters no idea what to do in the later rounds. I'll usually make my park completely neutral so I can't do the draft to my park. But one...

The thing that keeps me away from historical is that it’s not as precise and well done, or finished is a better way to put it. To provide an example, if you check the draft where Craig Biggio is...
