I thought we did as well.

When you say:

- Improved player development & aging, resulting in more realistic careers

In what way do you refer? Will they start regression sooner or later? In what way will it be more realistic?

I've always wanted to play with the greatest HR-hitter of all time - Josh Gibson. and he played "a" difficult fielding position. (relative to offensive stats, likely the most difficult)

(and 'satch of course... he's playing into his 50's when i get him in my league... we'll see what he would have done to the record books due to his longevity - i'll see if i can get info on his decrapitation over time... like velocity in any given year etc and control his aging myself)

if i import a saved game over to ootp18 will things such as the arizona fall league and the international tournament be able to be included within the saved game?

Yes, you can add them in at any point to a game already in progress. In the game setup page, there's a button in the top right to "add a new tournament to a game" (the same place you would add a new league to a game).

So I guess when ever you expand and make a new team that team will automatically have a coaching staff? No option to disable that but how about in a Patch this year?

No historical minors.
Want a draft.

When will the1902 players show up. Nov-dec. 1901
Next spring. 1902
Some other time.

Curious

Isn't it usually November 1st of the preceding season by default? So, 1902 players show up November 1st, 1901.

Quick question, I have been playing OOTP for some time, since 14, and there is one player I got from Japan who is currently on my Washington Nationals team in the year 2020. Currently my team is tanking but he is still raking. So, is there anyway for me to take a player from one save and put him into another game?

jDaveMc1984 · 03-21-2017, 12:29 PM

Can we now push team logos and uniforms in the FTP file? My online league requires me to put up a new starter file each time there's a logo/uniform change.

dave1927p · 03-21-2017, 09:32 PM

any chance to add the team name or nationality to tournament leaderboards so we can see what team/country that player was representing? Guessing it's no easy addition...

jparker2112 · 03-22-2017, 11:52 AM

is there any way to include a "select all" button when editing where International Origination is? That would be SO helpful instead of having to manual click every nation. THANKS!!!!

flaquis010285 · 03-22-2017, 11:26 PM

In tournament mode, did I play without the pitch limits?

The Game · 03-23-2017, 12:10 AM

Really excited for this version.
Added Tournaments (WBC, Olympics and custom tournaments)
So I could do a Galactic Baseball Challenge with my teams in my MLB vs EBL league? Can I make a custom date when it is played? i am folding a league after my current season for 6 seasons, would love to play the GBC in November of my current season.

the tournament is for players to be loaned to a tournament team not have teams in leagues play each other in a tournament. That's better solved by putting them in an association and creating a playoff.

Sorry if this is obviously posted somewhere else, but is there a concise list of additons/changes from the March 20 beta? Or is the best description "we fixed the bugs found during the week"?

Badnewsgoonies · 03-24-2017, 07:39 PM

A very important feature for me is the players history, (when they were drafted or are they international, traded for ect.) for a lot of players this is missing even though it was there for 17

It's not missing...it's all still there.

hey all, really enjoying this year's game so far.

just one quick question/suggestion:
in the broadcast/3D view, the interface provides one window for pitcher information and one window for batter information. the way this is laid out, when the other team is batting you have the opposing batters' portraits and information are located below your team's quick box score, while your pitcher's window is below the opposing team's quick box information. is there a setting to change this? it just doesn't really look right. wondering if there's a way to change around the 'pitching:' and 'at bat:' windows so that one will be dedicated to each team.
