OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Is it just me or are catchers still crazy under-abled?

My experience was that in OOTP17 there seemed to be too many strong offensive catchers. In OOTP18 there seemed to be too few. I'm guessing that the paucity of good catchers in OOTP18 was a tweak that overcompensated for the plethora in OOTP17.

In OOTP18 I played a fictional league from 1871-2017, with a statistical environment that mimicked real-life baseball and ended up with exactly zero hall-of-fame catchers.

As for OOTP19, it seems about right so far to me. (right now I'm in 1916, having started in 1871 - so I've got a ways to go before I reach my final conclusion however)
