Read this from here.

Out of the Park Baseball 16 - Officially Licensed by MLB.com, Available in March 2015!

Quote:
Get the game three days before its official March release!
We won't be done with the giveaways after the price goes to $39.99 on February 16, though. Everyone who pre-orders between February 16th and three days before the official release in March will still receive a free OOTP 16 Steam key and get the game three days early.***
Order now! You get it early!

I just hope they don't have too much control over the game itself, if you know what I mean. I thought I read that the only thing that had to be taken out was drug suspensions for MLB games and related storylines. Let's hope it stays that way.

I'm just a bit concerned if they need to approve basically everything..

I'm definitely looking forward to the changes that have been made this year. I have a few questions for Markus and/or Matt:

In OOTP15 I play in Commissioner Mode and have "Act as GM only" checked despite the fact that I play out at least part of every game my team plays (I mostly wanted my assigned manager to win Manager of the Year, rather than me). In OOTP16, if I act as the GM only in Commissioner Mode, to what extent can I override my manager's tendencies? Can I set my lineups and pitching roles even if the manager wouldn't otherwise allow it? If I want to manually play out a game, do I then get full control of the team for that game? I would like my manager's personality to play a role, but there are some things I definitely want control over.

Alternatively, if it would be better for me to serve as both GM and manager, how much of a role does a manager's personality play in that case? Do his preferences show up in games I simulate? This aspect is largely cosmetic, but can my assigned manager win Manager of the Year even if I'm playing as GM and manager?

Lastly (and slightly off-topic), if I manually turn a retired player into a coach, does he still become a bench coach by default? It's a trivial thing, but it would be nice to turn some of my favourite players into coaches, and not have them become bench coaches with extremely low ratings.

I was on break at work when I read the newsletter, and I almost shouted out loud because of how excited this part of the game made me. I cannot wait for Friday!

Have you had a read of this regarding the "Act As" role?

Out of the Park Baseball Manual

Near the bottom of the page.

Just some info on the Act As role for you

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not a bad thing to have public copy checked. As Corsairs says they didn't go wobbly on the roe sucking bit so either it doesn't matter or they are looking for something else. I'm of the view that something has to happen first before I would worry about MLB.

I really like this! Thank you!

I am curious what is meant by "Above Average", "Extreme", etc for the ratings? Does "Extreme" shifts mean "Ideal", or "Prone to Overreaction"?

This sounds very exciting; so excited for a half a week from now!

I just edit them in commissioner mode, but it would be nice to see an option where they didn't automatically turn into terrible bench coaches.

I definitely like some of the Crusader Kings II ideas launched here.

We'll see how well you like it when your owner tries to assassinate your manager and marries the assistant GM off to the Polish club.

I knew that hiring a possessed wrathful gluttonous lesbian to be my hitting coach was a mistake!

Every RTR I read, and basically every feature about the game y'all bring out, it gets harder to keep to my rule of only buying every other year.
