New settings allow you to define how many players will enter your game each year from the following categories:
  • The international amateur free agent pool (teenagers without any major league experience)
  • International established free agents
  • Free agents from independent leagues (hidden and invisible within the game)


Within the original and amateur draft pools, you can decide the number of players that enter from each category as well as the percentage each nation contributes, so you can replicate modern MLB or suit your own preferences.

OOTP 14 truly opens up a whole new world of player discovery and origin options to one of the most immersive and customizable sports simulation games on the market today!
I have a question that has been bothering me ever since this was posted. It relates to the "International Scouting Discoveries (Per Team)" Setting. Does this setting mean that, in this example, every team will discover 18 international prospects per season, regardless of how they devote resources to scouting particular nations and/or the overall scouting budget? Or, is this number just an average? Some additional insight into what this rating means would be appreciated.
