A couple of questions before I buy

RD17 · 04-21-2003, 12:20 AM

I've played versions 3 and 4 extensively, but haven't purchased OOTP 5 yet and I need a couple of questions answered:

1) Do more drafted players develop into superstar players in OOTP 5? For example, in OOTP 4 it was very rare that a drafted player would reach a rating higher that 12 for HRs, 9 for avoid runs, etc.

2) Does OOTP 5 support more than a 4 or 5 round amateur draft without clogging up the AI teams's minor league system?

1. As far as players developing into superstars, I know that in leagues that I have tested I've had guys develop 12-14 or so in homers particularly. However, the player developmental "path" is much less predictable some high draft picks will flop while others will shine who didn't look like much to begin with.

2. 7 seems to be a good number to use from what I've seen.
