I just got OOTP24 from Steam and I had to try it out the first day of official release. As some of you know I have been most interested in AI manually played games and I have published well over a thousand previous AI OOTP games on Twitch or YouTube. Some of you might also know that I had requested some additional features in future OOTP versions back in a forum post last December.
I was well rewarded by Santa with OOTP24. I wanted better runner continuity as my most wanted wish and OOTP24 has it. I wanted better defensive situational response as my second wish and OOTP24 at first glance has that. I also dreamed of numbers and names on the back of jerseys and imagined an option for short pants with stockings along with an option for black shoes--all in OOTP24.
Wow! The manually played OOTP game has now taken a giant stride forward. Those of you who don't normally play OOTP in 3D manual game action just have to try it to know just how much better OOTP24 is compared to any previous OOTP version.
We have about a week before official opening day and I wanted my rosters to be more handy for commissioner mode editing as the teams make their final moves towards opening day so I did for now turn off all trades and I decided to play an exhibition game instead of statistics count opening day. I added two custom cam views along with my typical game sounds + text-to-speech and placed the result on YouTube. Here it is, exhibition of 2023 AI Yankees at 2023 AI Blue Jays in remodeled Rogers Centre:

The YouTube description tells more about how I set up this particular game and even explains how you can set up the two custom cam views I created (which should work at any OOTP24 default park).
Well done, Marcus and team!
