Hi everyone!

The past 24 hours we have been working very hard to update the MLB rosters with the latest transactions, rating changes etc. So we figured in order to sweeten your weekend, we'd release the updated rosters today via a quick patch, version 20.0.29.

The patch does NOT have any code changes compared the version 20.0.28, only database files are updated. In order for the changes to apply, you need to start a new game, existing games are not updated.

Another thing to keep in mind, since in OOTP the AI sets up the rosters, it is impossible for us that OD rosters are 100% accurate! We try to get as close as possible by tweaking individual player ratings, but in some cases it's simply not possible not force the AI to act like the real life human manager.

Update Info for our webstore customers: To apply the update, simply download the setup file and install it over your current installation. There is no need to uninstall or unlicense your current copy! However, you should quit the game before installing it, of course. Updates always contain all the changes from previous updates. Saved games are compatible between different versions.

We will release another patch in the middle of next week which will have plenty of fixes and improvements, plus updated rosters.

Have a nice weekend!
Markus & the entire OOTP Team

PS: If for some reason your rosters still seem outdated (eg DeGrom's extension is missing), please go to the Settings dialog (Main menu), Troubleshooting tab and hit "Force game data re-installation". That will do the trick when you start a new game then.

Cheers,
Markus
