What Is Your Favorite OOTP Feature?
Not just for 19 (mostly since i have yet to get it). For me my favorite thing is to read the game recaps. Just interested to see what others like so much about OOTP.

Financial and roster management, including draft and free agency. In other words, being a career GM as opposed to just playing games.

The ability to import historical players and teams, and to customize the universe to nearly any configuration.

long-term play... development, management, financial management etc.. everyhting can be optimized for success. you can be distinctly better than your coutnerparts in an objective way not related to luck of the draw. being competent in all aspects is a real advantage.

Favorite feature would have to be career play. A year or two ago, I purchased Actionpc Baseball. Probably played it for less than a weekend and quickly realized I can no longer simply replay a season. If I can't go season to season, I lose interest quickly.

This is my goal--to ultimately have a unique, long-term fantasy league, but right now I'm playing pretty vanilla to learn the game.
My favorite part of OOTP has just been those very few small choices I've made that have panned out. No success is as sweet as rare success! Also really enjoyed bring able to dig into player stats and occasionally pinpoint where they are struggling and make adjustments that correct. |

Want to see hands down the best feature OOTP has to offer?
Go to the "I Screwed Up My League" thread. Read the thread. What Lukas just did is hands down why OOTP rocks. So, my answer above is my second favorite feature |

Gotta be customization in almost every facet of the game.

The ability to create your own fictional league with custom logos, teams, schedules, talent, playoffs, finances, etc.

Another vote for the customization. I love the complete level of control the game gives you (Season length, game settings, etc., etc., etc).
I probably haven't even taken advantage of more than 5% of what this game offers you (I don't really need to) so I know there's tons more examples of how you can completely edit a universe to your liking. Also, I love the leaderboard Updates, Power Rankings, news, etc. |

Ohtani
If ootp put on the front page "ootp19 now featuring Shohei Ohtani" i think the sales would quadruple. Last edited by GmOfTheYear; 04-16-2018 at 03:19 PM. |

Let’s make it simple EVERYTHING, even things I cannot use properly or have yet to discover in the game.

If we're talking only about 19, for me it has to be the great new 3D stadiums combined with the improved on the field animation. I'm watching Juan Marichal pitch to Lou Gehrig I know I'm really not seeing that but the immersion is fantastic.

How details the stats/data collected is, and everything collected remains as you advance to future seasons. Really makes it feel like a real universe as opposed to just a fictional game.

The fact that I can play multiple versions of fictional baseball that is realistic while not having the angst of real fake names not matching expectations.
