tournaments

Hit "pre-order my copy" about three seconds after it popped up on the screen. Any chance we can add a tournament into an existing game that we will transfer from OOTP17 to OOTP18? Pumped for the game

Some duchies are counties (eg the Duchy of Cornwall), but some are cities (eg Edinburgh, Westminster, Cambridge). Essentially the territorial extent of duchies is completely arbitrary.

Will this mode include a standard "MLB Postseason", where you just select the teams and go?

(If so, how is seeding/home field advantage handled?)

What's the max teams per tournament? Can you have byes? What about rainouts?

That's a good question.


My playoffs are always messed up(200 plus team leagues will do it).


I have tie breaker games that shouldn't be tie breakers(two teams with totally different records playing each other to break a tie).

[Orioles1966]

Can tournament games be used as regular season games? This would take care of me having teams playing teams from other leagues and having them count in the standings.

I know you can do it now but all the stats in those games goes towards the home teams league records.

Will you be able to allow the CPU build rosters based on different roster restrictions?

Here's something that occurred to me last night: in an international WBC-style tourney, I wonder if we'll be able to allow teams to draw players from more than one country. Specifically I was thinking of the Netherlands where, if you're being realistic, you'd want players from the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, and Curacao.

That's a great question. In order for that to be possible, OOTP would have to allow players & coaches to have multiple nationalities, like FM. But then that begs the additional question of players who do possess more than one nationality, which national team does OOTP assign them to, and why?

Great Britain also plays as one team, so you'd have to allow players from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland* and all the random islands that are not technically British but not really independent either (Jersey, Guernsey, etc).

*NI is a bit odd though, because some sports (not sure about Baseball) have an "Ireland" team, which allows both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland players. Generally if you are born in Northern Ireland you can choose which one to represent.
