Thanks for this. I had every intention of joining it live last night but managed to miss it anyway (something about a wife, curtains, and tape measures). Your post did result in at least one more pre-order!

Pretty sure they already have.
The idea of watching the video is to get a more in-depth look prior to release.
But if you go to the OOTP main website and click on the OOTP 21 image, this will take you to the FastSpring checkout page and if you click on OOTP 21 you will see a rather extensive list of the new features.

You can also find most of that here: https://gmgames.org/out-of-the-park-baseball-ootp-21/

Matt's sound is decidedly suboptimal - sorry about that - but if you can deal with it there is a ton of great information in our second Road to Release video from this week!

Scouting, Drafting, and a whole lot more!

Yeah, I pledge all my PT 21 spendings to go to first-rate audio equipment for the OOTPD crew ...

For those who like to read rather than watch, like me, I did a short summary on another site which I'll repost here.

All impressions are mine alone, so if I have misunderstood something, don't blame the team, blame me!

They covered:
03:40 Scouting
22:45 Drafting
37:15 Prospect Pipeline
44:00 League Expansion Window
58:15 Coaches List

Scouting

Scouting is much more involved, as the accuracy of your scouting report depends on (as well as the usual budget you’ve assigned to each level) how often you scout a player, or a group of players. Eg you can request that an individual player be scouted, or for example, second basemen. And within that group, you can focus on 2nd Basemen who are contact hitters, for example. So then you might have High Accuracy on the player you’ve scouted, but Low on his teammates, or you’ve got better info on the pool of contact hitting second basemen or infielders or whatever.

This will lead to if not compromises, then scouting management of some sort - for example after the draft pool is announced, you will want to devote resources to scouting those guys, and then after the draft, ramp up your other scouting again.

Not sure if I like this or not but it likely adds something. I expect you can just leave it as it was last year too.

A good thing is that you can configure your scouting screen, so you can have your scout and OSA’s scout side by side for comparison purposes (I think). Not just the stars but the scouting report blurb and the graphs etc.

There’s also a ‘Incorporate Stats into Scouting Reports’ setting which will incorporate the player’s stats into the report on some level. Matt said that the more accurate the report, the more it would highlight things like unsustainable BABIPs etc

Drafting

I’m not that into drafting so I’ll just leave the Draft Pool (which you can see at any time during the season now, not just at draft time) screen here:

1000×562

There’s also a mock draft you can see (dunno if it is just a report or whether you can participate and make a pick) based on OSA ratings which will give you a rough idea if other teams like your guy etc.

Prospect Pipeline

This is a really nice screen which is basically an expansion of the Top 100 prospects list - but it goes to 200 prospects, you can filter by team, position, all that good stuff - shows stats and you can drill in to ratings.

Some screens:

1000×562

1000×562

League Expansion Window

I didn’t bother watching this, but basically more options and control over the league expansion event.

Coaches List

Easier sorting and new columns (Development Influence) & filters etc, for your coach hiring

Awesome new version. Reminds me of the auto industry. You have a great engine, a great body and now you're adding some chrome. 3D looks great!!!!
