Silvam has made pretty much every park from 1901 to modern. Only ones that are missing are a few pre 1900 parks like Palace of the fans West Side Park and a few others

All the parks from the '90's are there.

is the tournament mode basically identical to the current WBC tournament type mode?

Thanks!

That is pretty cool! "Hey! Guess who I traded you for!"

I do know that they expanded to six teams this year. That makes the wait even better

Not included with the game itself, but there will surely be mods for this, just like last year

Not sure why you should. The Pecos League is already a highly questionable inclusion, given that attendance is not reported for its games (indeed, the league office estimates attendance). And now the PA?

The Pacific Association does have attendance reported, but it is minuscule: just 239 per game in 2017. No, that's not a typo. The larger summer college leagues outdraw the PA by a considerable margin, let alone the main four independent leagues.

I'd say the major summer college leagues, particular as a place where college players can develop for the draft, would be more useful additions.

Don't worry, you can be in OOTP19

Well, if someone volunteered to be the data hound for the PA, good for them. But if actual paid effort has to be expended on including leagues which, really, appear more akin to semi-pro rather than bona fide professional leagues, that strikes me as wasted resources. YMMV.

BennyTheMarlin · 02-28-2018, 07:04 PM

One small change that's hopefully an easy add. I'd like to see an import/export option for the schools file. I've been playing the same league for some time and would love to make edits for draft purposes.

Hi Guys,

During my games, I like to display the expanded stats... Would it be possible to have (as an option), some of the listed stats-- such as last year's stats & career stats dropped from the box, while having the option to replace... say total pitcher's K's and replace it with K/9? Maybe replacing his ERA with WHIP or a batter's OPS with just his SLG%?

That is an option that Action PC introduced in their game and it is a nice option.

Jack

With EA having become integrated with the design team of OOTP, is there some chance that EA will purchase the rights to the game and sell it as their own?

jaysfan17 · 03-01-2018, 12:14 PM

21 days left, oh man am I excited! Hopefully these high profile FA's don't sign with a team, thus allowing for us to sign them when OOTP 19 hits the market.

Padreman · 03-01-2018, 03:37 PM

OOTP team One thing that annoys me is that every season the game automatically generates personnel that's in their fifties and sixties with a bunch of years of experience but not really because when you look at their history it's blank can you have that option to be turned off or if they do generate personal just to have them Be generated at 0 experience

It irritates me to see the several things wrong with the minors. The minor leagues are a different animal from the majors, and in my opinion OOTP does not properly reflect that. Someday, perhaps, there'll finally be an appetite to correct these longstanding issues. (To be fair, most of these items are on the smaller side, but the little details matter when taken in aggregate.)

Until that day, I'll just keep researching and compiling data on the real minor leagues. (My annual research project is about to take another jump upward in details recorded, though I will eventually need someone else to write a bit of software to make the best use of the data.)

jslmsca · 03-01-2018, 10:23 PM

With the amazing screenshots of real stadiums, I'm wondering if the default major/minor league stadiums as of the same quality. I only play in a fictional league and hate using real stadiums.

(I'm looking forward to the day when such stadiums can be edited directly through OOTP).

zappa1 · 03-02-2018, 10:37 AM

I have a problem with missing award icons in my OOTP18 game. Has this been fixed for 19? I've seen other people have reported this, also.

I hope not either. EA does makes some beautiful games, but the gameplay leaves something to be desired. With all the money EA has in their coffers, it's not a stretch to think that EA may just purchase the rights to the game once they see how successful it is.
