When will OOTP 18 Update (Version 18.4.45) be available on the Mac App Store? Still using 18.3.41 version.

I agree. I love the fact that dual nationalities was added. You're probably right in that it's most likely really hard to generate players with dual nationalities that make sense. I play on a modern MLB game but I go through generated, fictional players and sometimes add a second nationality to them that would make sense (in my head, at least).

having a problem after base running decisions.

I manage every game & play 'last pitch'. after I choose to either advance or hold runner, the screen flashes & the play is over. I have to 'replay last PBP' to read what happened.

anyone else?

That's definitely on our list to do.

The options are greyed out. Can these not be changed during the season or do I have to wait after the season is over?

The whole point of Challenge Mode is that these cannot be changed.

With the new update released, version number 18.5.54. Without creating a new game, is there a way to get the many improvements to minor league player ratings and international & independent leagues? Such as copying a certain file, etc.? I'm currently deep into a season…

Not really, no. Sorry!

[zigyzig]

If I stick with my current season and continue with multiple seasons moving forward will the minor league player ratings and international & independent leagues be wrong or messed up each year? More clarification please, thanks…

I think the trading block needs to be fixed. I never see rebuilding teams put veterans on the trade block or really any decent players put on it. I mean when it is near the all star game and small market teams dont put players close to free agency or expensive vets on the block is so unrealistic.

[bly08]

Was the AI Eval or trade settings adjusted with the new patch? Trading in challenger mode seems a lot harder now.

[zigyzig]

What is "Added wide screen options for field widget in-game"?

[chriskelly]

anyone else having trouble w/ the game locking up w/ the new patch? it's never happened to me before, I was simming 2017 once, multiple years the other, both times I got a "not responding" message.. I can't tell exactly where it happened. Wondering if it's just me

It's happened several times.

No, they're just not quite as updated initially as if you start on a more recent patch.

I've asked this once already with no response, so I'll try again ...

Why do I have to immediately replace an injured fielder/pitcher after the third out has been recorded, or an injured batter/runner who has just recorded an out? Why won't the game allow you to carry the injured player in your lineup until you actually NEED to replace them? This is the one thing about OOTP that drives me nuts. It forces you to make roster decisions earlier than needed, and sometimes it really gums up the works.

It's a far more complex issue than you'd think it might be on the surface. Markus has mentioned in the past that this is a nearly impossible thing to fix.

ARGHHHHHH! And then it happens again the very next game I play. Salas hurt on third out, down a run, scheduled to bat 4th in the late innings, and my options are replace him immediately with a pitcher who will have to bat or a batter that will have to pitch. It is the one (and only one) thing that consistently takes me out of the realism of the game.
