OOTP - Learn something new everyday

Bluenoser · 03-13-2026, 10:38 AM

Been playing this game since day 1, and even a crusty old veteran like me is still learning stuff about OOTP.

If you hover your mouse over a players batting order number and then click, it opens up the Lineup screen that also shows your bench players and their stats, and has an option to take you to the substitution screen. I already knew about the shortcut to see your bullpen and pitchers, but never knew this one existed for hitters until this morning.

This game is always full of pleasant surprises

When I saw it was you posting with that title I had to look and see what it could be.

This one I knew and it is very handy. But I too find things from time to time that I had no idea was there. All part of the journey.

In the lineup, it now shows defensive ratings for each position.
