Are there pre-order or loyalty bonuses this year?

Football Manager has the same problem: at a certain point, the devs just started tinkering around the edges and adding new ways to view the same information because overhauling what happens under the hood is a bear. OOTP would benefit from a top-to-bottom UI/UX refresh (no more hitting "ENTER" to refresh static pages would be nice); robust prospect and player development mechanics (with knock-on effects for international scouting, drafting, and minor-league management); much better modeling of pitches and batted balls within an at-bat; a dramatic overhaul of AI roster construction and trading (which seems like it's on the list for this year, but we'll see); and more of the kind of statistical data real-time front offices use to project performance and find edges—rather than topline numbers and a smattering of early-2000s sabermetrics. We need to get much deeper into the guts of how modern baseball is managed and played. But that's a ton of hard and costly work. It's easier to make quick and profitable additions to Perfect Team. |

If I preorder directly from OOTP developments to receive the 3 day early access, will I be able to transfer my game to Steam when it launches? I was hoping to get early access, but I prefer Steam since I typically like to run the game on a desktop PC and use Steam remote play to play from a laptop while relaxing.

The Steam version is a separate purchase. So, you would have to buy the game again to play it on Steam. Though the save file can be moved from version to version. I like the convenience of Steam along with the Steam Workshop, so for the past two versions (v24 will be the third) I have passed up the early release. Other's mileage certainly varies. ![]() |

Honestly the game is so polished it does not need any real changes year after year. They could just charge for roster updates each year
I mean honestly what more do we want? Graphics like a ps5 game? They could never do that. Soon as they start using player likeness in the faces and such they have to pay for that and it is probably not in their budget I am with you I notice very little changes but I do not look at that as a bad thing. I just think the game is so good not much you can change. |

On the screenshots of the International Complex, it doesn't show any Japanese players. Will they still be included in the game as generic players (obvs not licensed from ***)?

Tuesday can't get here soon enough.
Also, don't depress me further by starting Edwin Diaz on the DL. Please and thank you.

Do the developers make more if I order on Fastspring or Steam?
EDIT: Probably can't answer that... preordered on Fastspring! Last edited by PumpDunkler; 03-17-2023 at 03:44 PM. |

They actually have been open about that: the answer is in fact Fastspring, although as they've said they get more views on Steam the more people order there so it's not a net loss for them if you prefer the latter.

I really wish there was an improvements/changes features list instead of "road to release" videos so I could nitpick what didn't happen and make my decision to drop coinage on it. I really hate sitting and watching videos for any game.

That is interesting. I didn't know this. Almost all the games I have bought from Matrix games and other publishers will give you a Steam key when it's released on Steam.

OOTP did do that for one year. I *think* they still have to pay Steam for the keys.

If that's not enough, or you don't like Steam, then fork over the $4 extra and get it later, or wait for a sale. Nobody is forced to buy at any time. It's all up to each of us. |
