Front Office for OOTP Beta

[Discobolus]

Really liking the additions. Just a heads up, It looks like the increments of 5 toggle in the settings only affects a players OA rating on their page; the depth chart and farm system tabs are still using the continuous 20-80 scale

Loving this new OOTP Front Office! Is there a way to add some history to the team-franchise?

[ButcherHaig]

Hello! I have a save that I'm really hoping to use this with...it's in Challenge Mode, so I have no option to export a CSV. Front Office finds my save but can't proceed further without a CSV. Any options or plans for this to be compatible with Challenge Mode? I'm 21 seasons in and this would be so nice to have! Sorry if this has been asked before, I wasn't able to find any update in the thread. Thanks for any info!

Kind regards

Yes, just need to provide the AI chat the ability to access that data.

I have never played Challenge Mode, but from what I have seen from screenshots, there isn't an export all to CSV. I do believe there is some export functionality right? If so, can you provide me with me a list of all CSVs you can export?

International complex players showing in MLB roster.

Thanks for the Team History!!

Bud, another question if I may, how is FO getting the advanced stats? Is it calculating internally or are they in one of the csv files so coming directly from the save?

Thx

WAR comes out of the exports directly, the others are calculated using the supporting data from exports. It is possible to see a slight variation from OOTP on some advanced stats. On average, the WRC+ for my players is within less than 10 difference. My OPS+ is usually within 3-5 difference.

A couple of things I've noticed:

- I have a storyline that compares my closer's statistics to another reliever on my staff (Kotialik now in majors), but in one case it is their MLB numbers and in the other their AAA numbers. Not really a fair comparison, at least in that context.

"Aldridge, 27, has struck out 45 in 43 innings with just 10 walks and a 3.14 ERA, comfortably the sturdiest relief line in the organization. Billy Kotalik owns the closer's ledger with 25 saves, but a 4.78 ERA, 29 walks in 49 innings and a 1-6 record say the leverage is being handed to the wrong arm."

- Players with arbitration years remaining are listed as "Coming off the books." in the Front Office > Payroll & Budget section. While this is potentially true, it seems like arbitration-eligible should be handled differently than a contract that is actually expiring. Maybe show both?

Ahhh. I did not include any type of level filter, so this is definitely possible. It has never happened to me yet but is inevitable in its current state. Simple fix.

Another minor issue on my side reading values incorrectly.

I've seen the minor league stats called out too.

Is the app understanding upcoming arbitration? I often see comments about a player being in their last year, but they do have arb coming up. Seems like that would really affect how the app values players if it thinks they are going to be FA.

This is one of the most incredible tools I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

I pushed a fix earlier and tested it briefly but had to run. Can someone test and let me know? I am away from the computer until tomorrow.

Yep, it was very close to the in-game but not 100%, thus my question.

Thanks so much.

Looks like the levels issue has been fixed. Not so with the upcoming arb years.

[luckymann]

Just thought I'd point out this slight cosmetic mislead in case you want to fix. The actual path doesn't involve Global Actions, just Database Tools.

Three other points I'd like to bring to your attention.

The first is that I am seeing team logos from one save sticking and being incorrectly applied when you switch to another.

The second is that the graphical representation of ratings etc on different scales probably need a bit more work. If you have a player who rates five for CONTACT and you're using the 1-to-5 scale, it shouldn't look like the attached should it?

The final point is a request for two-way players to be included as both hitters and pitchers in areas like rosters and lineups.

Thanks!

Is it possible to exclude pitchers that are on the IL in the Clubhouse > Pitching staff view? They aren't available to me, so seeing them there isn't helpful. Maybe it's just me that feels this way.

[Larryk007]

Agee, the IL pitchers should be excluded, they are in the IL area anyway.

[lsukev]

Added a toggle for show/hide players on IL. I kind of prefer to have them there to keep track of my bullpen but definitely understand why others wouldn't want it that way.
