Update 03/29: We have updated the public beta to build 37. Please give it a ride if you like. Build 37 contains a few minor bug fixes.

Important: This patch is only for OOTP 21 versions which were purchased directly from us or resellers who use our version. It is also available via the Steam client with the public password below.
It is NOT compatible with the Mac OSX AppStore version!

Hi!

We have been working more on the game recently and are nearing another official patch release. So, here's the public beta of it, version 21.2.37. If this works fine we'll release it officially on Monday. Have a nice weekend

Note: This version is NOT compatible with previous builds in online leagues. If you are in an online league, do not use this public beta. The final release will also be incompatible with exports from previous versions, so if you are an online league commish please consider this an advance warning. All members of online leagues should update on Monday.

We have tested this build for 24 hours and did not find any issues, however use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta.

Changelist (21.2.37):
- Improved 2020 MLB & international rosters sets & added more international schedules (need to create new game for changes to apply)
- Added easier way to manage minor league games
- Improved in-game notification for injuries
- Fixed missing coaches on importing large OOTP20 files. Fixed minor league contracts with major option changing to minor league deals on import.
- Fixed AI signing suspended players
- Fixed HS choice for created players
- Fixed tournament job offers immediately expiring
- Fixed JuCo players entering college as freshmen
- Fixed player strategy import/export for bench when fatigue %
- Adjusted draft player demands
- HS players will continue to college even if they cannot find a school in the DB
- PT: fixed/relaxed criteria for when players can play other positions
- Several other bug fixes

How to access the beta on Steam:

• Quit OOTP 21 if it's running.
• Open Steam client -> Library
• Right click on Out of the Park Baseball 21
• Click on "Properties" at the bottom of the menu
• Click on the beta tab. Here, enter the following code / password: ootp21pubbeta
• Click on "Check code"
• Open the beta pull-down and select "publicbeta".

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

Here's a PC installer (Fastspring) that installs into a single folder, which is useful for external HDs for example. Or for creating a second test install of the game, so you can try the patch out without the risk of messing up your main install of the game if something is wrong in the patch:
