OOTP 27 Patch: 27.2.60 (HOTFIX) - Page 5

md40022 · 05-16-2026, 12:05 PM

I've played enough 27 at this point to throw a little bit of feedback out there I suppose.

Yes, wayyyyyy too many infield hits. The graphics seem pretty choppy this year. It's not that big of a deal to me. I don't buy this game for the graphics. But if I'm offering an honest opinion, yes - they are choppy. Outfielders are running through the wall and into the bleachers. The flight path of pop ups and fly balls at times seems really weird, like it moves in slow-mo and then all of a sudden moves real fast.

There's still a lot to be desired when it comes to throws from outfielders going to home plate and allowing the other runners to advance, when the throws should have been cut off to prevent runner advancement --- but that's been like that for a while. I live with it.

There's definitely an issue with guys who have played for multiple teams having their in-game face gen file switch back and forth between the team they currently play for and a team they played for previously.... I haven't found any rhyme or reason with this. It just seems if a guy gets 5 at-bats in a game, 3 of the times he comes up to bat it will be the correct face gen and the other 2 times will be a face gen of a previous team.... It's not a huge issue, but a definite annoyance.

Short of that though, I think it's pretty darn good. No crashes yet on my end and no issues with my computer slowing down either (I know some have reported that). Seems to run smooth. The excessive number of 5 star prospects (with 99% of them immediately turning into 1 star prospects) seems to be fixed. Engine seems to be every bit as good as the last version that I played ('25), if not maybe even a little better....... All in all, I'm happy. But if the devs are bored and looking to tweak a few things on the next patch, listed above would be my issues right now.

3-D graphics are still janky. Need an overhaul I think. Half the reason for me to play OOTP is the graphics and in depth gaming. Otherwise, I'd just go back to c&d!

I agree about the 3D. It just feels a bit off and not as smooth as '26 to this point. I play a lot of 2D, pitch by pitch, so it's not a big deal. But the advanced stats have added a whole new layer to my fictional league and it worth the upgrade just for that addition.

In my experience every time a player appears in the wrong uniform it’s for the team he played in two seasons ago.

I had not had this happen for a long time, and then last night in a game I was playing out I did. I was playing against the Brewers and one of their players was in a Phillies uniform in the lineup and on the field. I looked at his career stats and.. he played for the Phillies 2 years ago.

You may be on to something.

I'm not smart enough to have been able to draw that conclusion haha, but I suppose that's definitely possible. Once I saw them in a previous team's hat, I quit my investigation right there.

They have become very rare to see at least in my game. I was playing the 82nd
game of my season before I saw a wrong uniform player. A couple of patches ago while I was in Spring Training I'd probably see one every 5 to 10 games.

IOW, you may not see one for quite some time.

I’ve got a fictional league with 24 teams. There was a 4 team expansion before the current season started. I’ve seen one or two these mismatches almost every game I’ve played. I launched the current season after I installed the current release.

Edit: I'm very dumb and was looking at the trade block screen, thinking it was waivers. Disregard!

Edit 2: Seeing guys on waivers with good stats is still present but a lot less than OOTP26

Edit 3: On a positive note, the daily signings and releases has greatly improved

ojoe · 05-26-2026, 09:48 PM

Still having trouble with facegens. I can get the pictures to update, but once I make a baseball card or team picture, the changes are gone.

Braden · 05-28-2026, 10:51 PM

Is there going to me another update.soon and, if so, what is going to be fixed.
