Yes, that is a good question. Will we see a change when the scout updates at the beginning of the month? Or do we run a "Full Re-scouting"? or......?

The development changes will kick in over time, as players age over time.

If I just started a game, would it be beneficial to start a new game? I have made it somewhat of a career out of starting new OOTP games. :-)

I agree. One short additional sentence would make a huge difference.

Brad K · 08-09-2025, 08:06 PM

Something I've been hoping for is a fix to coaching so when its on it works with the pre-calc modifiers.

Matt/team can you enable ability for users to “add” the awards icons for players? I see no way to do this as a user.

This would be a huge quality of life improvement. Hoping to see this soon!

BestbatBoy · 08-10-2025, 03:21 PM

Not a huge deal, but you guys listed the draft update as all drafted players are in the game? Frank Camarillo is not showing up in a fresh game. He was drafted by the Mets from UC Santa Barbara in the 13th round by the Mets. Kyle West also a 13th round pick from West Virginia of the New York Yankees is not showing up.

I was only checking players that played in Division 1 ball, as I am setting up a feeder league.

mdcarr11 · 08-11-2025, 10:11 AM

Started a live yesterday and noticed like one day in all the teams started to release their 2025 draft picks. Many were 40 graded on the traditional baseball scale in increments of 5. Some may have been higher, I'd have to look. From a realism perspective, that doesn't seem quite right. That said, I'm starting another right now, so maybe this is a case of the AI not valuing the players as much as the real life GMs and maybe this won't happen going forward in my save. At least I hope it doesn't.

PS This is for the latest patch

You don't need to start a new game for development.

You would need to start a new game if you really care about college players getting the ratings boost from this update, as your existing save will have a few draft classes already formed and those college players will not have their ratings boosted.

Most of the changes to college players is actually related to their development while in college, not necessarily as much the initial roster ratings for them. So even that point you wouldn't necessarily need to start a new game to catch most of the updates (other than obviously the current draft players have all been significantly updated since the draft itself).

I hope this is only an issue in Live-Starts...as the issue of teams releasing draft picks from the same year, was supposed to be fixed

Braden · 08-11-2025, 04:25 PM

Any adjustment to the high number of foul balls when selecting Hit and Run?

perfection is the enemy of the good. just play the dang game already.

eas9898 · 08-11-2025, 05:06 PM

Great to see development finally meaningfully addressed. Looks like I'll be able to start a run with this version.

In my test sim 31 % av major leaguers (secondary rosters) are international players. Compared to over 40 % in previous versions.
Just a coincidence?

Could be indirectly related to the changes to college player development?

yes I was speculating whether it could be that earlier in this thread or if it was in the original thread. Hopefully it’s more balanced from now.

This is again where adding just a bit of detail to the patch notes would go a long way with the community.

Braden · 08-14-2025, 12:01 PM

No fix to the high number of fouls with hit and run or the invisible leg guard?

fthomas361 · 08-27-2025, 02:29 PM

I am having trouble with first year players all coming in to the game as free agents. Attempting to play 62 Mets historical at default with players going to first year teams. After the world series ends and the off season starts players such as Bud Harrelson and Dick Selma being FA's. Cleon Jones as with my OOTP21 game is with the team. Help.
