ootp 15 list

Howwy11 · 10-17-2013, 02:57 PM

I'm brand new to this and I just downloaded ootp 14 last night. I only got to play it for a couple hours but soon realized that its awesome. Here are my ideas for next years version:
1.) Ballpark customization- It would be awesome if you were able to spend money on upgrading/customizing your stadium. Add seats for more attendance, add consessions for a little bonus money, maybe bring in or push back the outfield fences. Or maybe take a completely different approach and take a page from MVP 2005 owner mode.
2.) T.V. Contracts- Maybe if your team has dominated the past couple years you can sign a contract with a big TV station and get some big bucks.
3.) Scout recommendations- ask your scout what they think about a player. See if he thinks you should make a push to acquire him, or ask him if he's ready to be called to the bigs.
Again, I'm very inexperienced with this game and I'm just getting my feet wet.

Outside of adding concessions, you can already do all of this with the ballpark editor.

You can do this by editing the team's financials.

You can request a scouting report on the player. If the player is ready to be called up, a green arrow will next to his name when you view your minor leagues in the Transactions screen.

Being so new to it, before phrasing these kinds of things as OOTP 15 suggestions, consider going to "New to the Game?" to ask whether what you're looking for can already be done.

Franchise Hockey Manager at end of the year on July 1st in the news says like Blues have signed a new TV Contract but to expand it in both games with who and include Radio to.

Even though you can edit the stadiums already, I think it might be cool to have that part of the game be a bit more interactive. Sure, you can change anything you want right now, but it's either purely cosmetic or can be changed on a whim, no strings attached. It'd be cool to be able to pay money to upgrade your ballpark to make more money, and I think that's what he's suggesting.

I'd like to be able to change certain basic rules, like game length. (7 instead of 9, etc)

RchW explains why that's a good, but unlikely, idea.

It would be nice, however, to be able to mimic the minor leagues' rule on game lengths in doubleheaders.
