I will start off.

I’m likely going to be importing my 2017 MLB Orioles start from OOTP 18. I’m currently in 2019, about half-way through the season; yes, I restarted a couple games. I’m likely going to restart one last time before OOTP 19, as real-life had me trying to cram-in games late this weekend, way past my bed-time and I really messed-up my save, as I got into September, but I’m not restarting past this latest league-back-up date (which dates from about two weeks past the 2019 draft) and I’m not going to do that again no matter what; I will be more “diligent” in my pacing and play-time. Anyway, I plan to import this 2017 MLB start to OOTP 19.

I play out all of my games (at bat) and my settings will be the standard out-of-the box settings, with these notes:

*20 to 80 ratings scale

*No stars (this has been great)

*Trade AI: Most difficult/favor prospects

*All the “major” baseball nation leagues; I think it’s about 5 or 7 (Japan, etc…)

*Change the names of major awards to the Real-life names.

I plan to follow this team for a few years in game time. I signed Manny Machado in 2018 to a big deal as a 3B guy, but also built an interesting core of other players, and a strong international pitching signing who has become an ace.

But, I also want to try a new 2018 MLB start with those settings mentioned above as the Orioles; it's a tough transitional year, with a lot of challenges for the team.

So, I may just let my 2017 start run a few more years, and then dive into the 2018 season. Tough choices really, as it’s lot of time invested, but it’s hard for me to focus on more than one team. I will still keep that 2017 MLB start saved however, and perhaps come-back to it at some point.
