Two good reason to buy OOTP 14?

jesuiscris · 06-21-2013, 03:37 PM

Hi all, as an owner of last 3 OOTP version. (11 to 13)...could anyone here give me two good reasons that convince me to buy the last version OOTP 14

Tyler87898 · 06-21-2013, 04:13 PM

International Complex - Where the international players (prospects) that you sign or your scout finds can go and develop until they are ready for the minor leagues.

New bullpen model - Now you can designate even more roles for your bullpen (middle relief, long relief, lefty specialist, setup, closer, etc.) while saying how often they should be used. Very helpful.

I'll give you a third reason: Better scouting/ratings/development system. In this version there aren't any of those big rating drop-offs on the first day of Spring Training. I really like how players develop in this game.

I'll even give you a fourth reason: The graphical depth chart.

Edit: There's more cool things, but I already gave more than you asked, so I won't keep listing.

Every one of those reasons is reason enough.

Player development emails.

I'll definitely third it. By far my favorite feature. Makes monitoring progress (or tanking) of players much easier. I love scrolling through the report and seeing all green.

ukhotstove · 06-21-2013, 08:04 PM

All the above and throw in home and road uniforms.

I'll fourth it. This is my favorite new feature. I find myself looking forward to the first day of the months that it comes out.

Me too. When the box pops up that says Scouting Players, I find myself thinking: "oooo, yes!"

That little blue bar can't get all the way to the right fast enough.

I love the depth of the game where as the others are very much limited. I love the uniqueness of the style of the game

I love the creativity of the programing in this game. Where its never ending continuous improvements. Always doing better every year to bring the best product.

As far as price its good especially when you buy it before April (generally) or during the all star break and off season. I rarely IF ever have any complaints with the game.

It's the best baseball game in the world. And it's German. Who would have ever thought it?

Walsh06 · 06-22-2013, 08:31 AM

setting the percentage of player origins. And of course all of the above

David Watts · 06-22-2013, 08:48 AM

The ability to set the size of pitching staffs seperate from the stamina/use of reliever settings. This alone makes 14 my favorite version ever. Finally the roster size option is usable.

Option to allow pitchers in the starting rotation to be used in relief. Love this.

jesuiscris · 06-25-2013, 12:21 PM

Ok Thanks, maybe I will give it a shot...

SirMichaelJordan · 06-26-2013, 08:48 PM

One thing that did it for me was the International Complex.

But after playing the game, I have notice much better lineup's by the AI (I GM Only) and the draft was better. There is just alot of lil things that made me forget about OOTP 13.

So player development emails....

Does this mean that you know when a guy is going downhill so you can cut him immediately?

Seems that will skew league stats in an online league since you may never see someone hitting or pitching poorly enough

Tyler87898 · 07-02-2013, 12:38 PM

The player development messages just shows how some players are developing (ratings wise). For example, "player x's contact potential improves to 60" and stuff like that.

Carlton · 07-02-2013, 01:48 PM

Ahhh ok Tyler...seems I thought it was overpowering like that utility that lets you see every tick of development plus or negative
