I am new to OOTP and need help
OK I know a little about baseball, have seen a few games on TV in the UK and I am now trying to enjoy this game. In fact despite my lack of knowledge I AM enjoying it. Although I do find the amount of stats frightening.
I am using CubbyFan's real-life roster to help improve my knowledge of the real life players. I am playing as the Detroit Tigers but I do not seem to have any scouts, nor can I sign any scouts. The manual says you have six but as far as I can see no team has any! What am I doing wrong here please? Also when I tried to sign one free agent I got an option to claim him (which failed). But what does this mean? Thanks in advance for any replies. |

Well you have to turn scouts on to get scouts. Go to game setup then turn on scouts.
I'm assuming that you didn't get to claim him because another team either made a better offer or he liked them more

If you PM me with your e-mail address, I will send you the PDF file that contains the Game Guide. Warning: It's 16.3MB (zipping it in WinZip does not save much, 14.7MB), so your ISP may not allow you to receive it due to size restriction. |

Sorry about the Game Guide link. Most of the site downloads are not functioning at present. Apparently Sports Interactive is in the process of migrating their site to a new server and much is disfunctional while the process continues. And before you ask, we have no idea when these problems will clear up.
