Thanks. Maybe it's a MAC issue, but I don't have that option on my screen. It's there in v25, but not in v26.

Just a minor issue - I notice my sound changing volumes, usually at a pause in action. From good crowd noise to almost silence. .Don't remember it being that noticeable in 25. MAC version

Variant cards stuff is hard to understand the purpose or value including the merging.

What specific questions do you have about how it works? I'm willing to help you understand the mechanics of it better if you'd like.

Braden · 04-05-2025, 02:21 PM

what is the purpose of merging with merging it another card, what is the benefit to the variant card and do I use it to my advantage?

Merge makes one card stronger and harder to beat. Like merging two Wille's to make one better one.

Hi all. I usually wait a while before starting a long term save to iron out bugs and all that. How is the current state of the game? Should I keep playing 25/MLBTS?

Battman · 04-06-2025, 09:09 PM

Another minor quirk that I have noticed - whenever there is a pop-up in the infield, if the second baseman does not have a base to cover, he jumps in the air as another player is catching the ball.

I'd like to see an executive mode where I'm managing my career rather than just one franchise. Sure, I get job offers every winter in the current design, but that involves quitting and also lacks a negotiation phase. I'd love to see that side of baseball leadership explored more. Conceptually, a first draft of this should be easy to implement too. A game setup check box to turn the mode on/off and an email for "OWNER has offered you an extension for $$$ [accept, reject, discuss]"

It would be cool if the game engine assigned my character ratings like those of the cpu coaches and execs based on my decision-making. That's both very much a "nice to have" and likely harder to implement.

I've been hoping for years for a stronger GM mode. I know they don't want to be like Football Manager, but in that game, I like how you have to actually "interview" for a managerial position. And when I apply to an open position with a club that I don't have the experience yet to manage, I get an email saying my application has been rejected. It just adds so much more to the career mode. And how more immersive that game is when having contact(conversations) with your players.

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to put this comment so forgive me if this isn't the relevant location.
For the first time in my 10+ years of playing OOTP, I purchased OOTP 26 through the website and not Steam, and I find it quite clunky when it comes to updates. Is there a way to transfer my game into my Steam Library so that it updates automatically?

Thank you.

Love the new edition of the game and I am sure I will spend hundreds of hours playing it in the next year. I started a historical league in 1996 with random players.
When importing the modern parks I noticed the Angels and Brewers did not have the night parks to import only the day which is what I did. However when going to those two parks to play i get an error message to go to settings and debug. My question is why are the night versions that were in last year's game not in this years? Is this an oversight and can the next patch include them? I will watch for your answer, thank you!

Batters strikeout 10+ times EVERY game. There are multiple hit by pitches, wild pitches, passed balls, etc. EVERY game. No matter how much I try to change the ratios in the game settings, still the same. I don't understand.

Crickett13 · 04-09-2025, 03:47 PM

Draft Scouting with combine disabled is still not working like previous versions. Having to scout a player 10+ times to move from low to high and never getting to very high

Did you run autocalc to set the League Total Modifiers? In my experience HBP, wild pitches, passed balls, and balks being way off is usually an indicator that autocalc hasn't set LTMs. I don't want to assume how much you've played OOTP but I see April 2025 as your join date. With that in mind I'll post some autocalc info that hopefully helps.

If you already know feel free to ignore.

In the screenshot (from an older version but AC hasn't changed much) the...
LT= League Totals
LTM= League Total Modifiers
AC= where the autocalc button would be if the regular season hadn't started yet.

Autocalc can only be run in the offseason. My screenshot doesn't have the button because it was taken in season.
The best time to run it is on opening day before any games are played. Once a game is played the option to run AC disappears.

The LTMs are not just the two boxes with the double arrow line. They extend all the way to the bottom of the screen, ie the "range" and "errors" sections.

Leave the League Totals alone. Instead hit the autocalc button (where the AC is in the screenshot). This will run three seasons in seconds in the background and set the League Total Modifiers that should give you stats very close to the League Totals. With regard to wild pitches, passed balls, or anything in the lower sections of the screen, you cannot set League Totals. However running autocalc will set the mdofiers that should give you realistic stats in these categories.

More info in the manual and there are also many threads over many versions about AC that a search would bring up. Hope that is of some help.

Game isn't recognizing "Expanded Roster Size", which is 28. I'm past the "Roster Expansion Date" and only have 27 players on my active roster but it keeps telling me my roster is over limit. Never had this problem until now. Something to do with the new build, or am I missing something?

roscoe55p · 04-10-2025, 07:08 PM

Hey Matt,
Version 26.2 Build 50 which I downloaded from the OOTP 26 Official Site and then from the OOTP 26 Forums showed Nathaniel Lowe still on the Rangers roster and not with the Nationals.

What was FULL challenge mode? Seems interesting.

Im in my 90's save, and I see that the brewers abbreiviation is ML4 instead of MIL, assume this is becuase they are in the AL at this time, but it kind of is annoying and throws me off. Is there any way for you to make it MIL instead of ML4
