Might be an odd question......but aside from the changes that have been announced for OOTP 22, is it safe to assume other things were "improved" or "fixed" under the hood from 21 to 22? For example, the charity "bug" that would impact market size or fan loyalty depending on what you selected.

Small things here and there.......can we expect changes with certain things or is it what we see is what we get?

Rain King · 03-18-2021, 02:34 PM

There are always general changes/improvements that don't necessarily make the feature list.

If a Dev. has commented on an issue saying they will be looking into it for the next version there is a pretty good chance that it will get done.

The Trailer told me the game would be available March 20th, but when I purchased the game it's telling me March 26th. What's the correct answer?

I highly doubt that. You might be mistaken. The game releases on the 26th.

When does the Q&A video go live today?

Westheim · 03-19-2021, 03:56 PM

Youtube says 8pm ET.

Shake Appeal · 03-19-2021, 04:33 PM

Are there any new stats in the game? What's there lags pretty far behind common analytics in use now, especially Statcast stuff.

DowntownTorontonian · 03-19-2021, 05:49 PM

Oh I figured out what happened, the main page with the pre-order now, if you scroll down and the trailer is for OOTP21 and I totally missed the 21 part. Shouldn't be on the same page imo, was pretty easy to miss.

When I put the license key in the steam, it tells me that it is the wrong key. What should I do? I bought you a pre-order Out of the Park Baseball 22.

If you pre-ordered then it's not a Steam key, it's for a direct download from OOTP (when it releases).

Any chance the uniform templates have been updated to include pants? Would be nice to see pinstriped teams have matching trousers instead of plain white.

How about uniform numbers?

filda1095 · 03-20-2021, 04:10 PM

Thank you very much!!!

youcoolman69 · 03-20-2021, 05:15 PM

One thing that the Q&A video didn't cover is in-game lists. Lists tend to reset to the top after you've already scrolled to the bottom if you adjust anything. Any chance lists are stable in OOTP22?

Hotwheelz · 03-20-2021, 07:36 PM

First off....tip o' the hat to Markus and the team. I've been around since version 2 and not a single version has disappointed. There have been a few rocky points here and there. Nothing is ever rosy all the time. However, what sets this great game and the team behind it apart from others is the fact that you all listen to the community and communicate. Bugs come up and bugs get fixed. I've never felt like it was a game that was put out there and we were forgotten. It feels like our game just as much as yours. It's almost like a family.

Question for Markus....you are obviously a huge baseball fan. It would be odd if you weren't lol. Whats the origin story for OOTP? What gave you the inspiration to create such a niche game and put so much time and effort into it? With your skillset you could have created so many other genres of games but you chose a baseball sim game.

M3dranc · 03-20-2021, 07:37 PM

I hope this hasn’t been answered already, but here goes:

If I pre-order will I be able to download OOTP on more than one device? I previously bought 20 and 21 on Steam and have both programs on two separate machines (obviously can’t play either program at the same time). Will I still be able to have this setup with the pre-order and without Steam?

There's actually a pretty deep interview with Markus talking about that in this year's reveal video https://youtu.be/kqtwNyaVFQM

Guess I should probably watch. Last year I figured I'd go into the game without really diving into what's new. It was exciting. All the new stuff. So many times with video games you know so much about the game from all the reveals, screenshots, gameplays, etc. that it takes away from the excitement.

Definitely should not have skipped the reveal. That was worth the watch for sure. Fascinating story.

You can have it licensed on two separate machines at one time.

And you can play it on two machines at once. Currently I have it installed on my MacBook and PC and sadly (well, I think its awesome) I have actually played 2 separate leagues at one time. One on each machine lol.

Thanks for clarifying that! I actually have a similar setup; an iMac and a PC laptop. And I too have separate saves on each.
