About my only disappointment is still no national team tournament. Oh well, the other changes probably will make up for this slight disappointment.

Well, to me this: Improved league strategy settings; i.e., define the number of starting pitchers, relief pitchers, and position players carried by the AI teams,is real huge for everybody trying to replay the 19th century. Being able to limit the number of pitchers should enable me to replay the very early years in the right way. Have been waiting for this for a while ...

Let me be the first to ask an obvious question (a specialty of mine). Conversion of leagues from OOTP 13 is expected to be very smooth, as in recent years?

I'm really excited to see that scouts will be able to draft from Independent leagues! This will make the early 20th century much more realistic. If I can get my independent leagues last more than a few years, I will be even more excited! (they seem to run out of players...)

I'm a big fan of the development tracking and the "stop offering this guy in a trade" button. I'm also very interested to see how the fielding skills development plays out.

No real 19th century against this year
I mean the real structure, team, leagues and transactions... I know we can do it manually since this is what I do, but having the game doing it automatically would be so better. Anyway I will pre-order next week as usual, even without this I know the game will be an update. Last edited by AESP_pres; 01-24-2013 at 12:35 PM. |

College World Series?
Scheduling Games Overseas like say the Mets/Dodgers will start season Overseas? Little League World Series? Multi Team trades? Saying like Barry Bonds has joined Root Pittsburgh as a Studio Host for Pirates Games or like Steve Stone has passed away and Frank Thomas is joining Hawk in the Booth? Seeing the Manager Argue with the Umpire live? Umps/Front Office People Retire? Unretirements?

I'm pumped about the new & improved Player Origin System. It was an area of the game that assuredly needed to be reworked.
Quote:
Question: Do these international leagues need to be created first in order to be scouted, or are they simply implied?
Again, I like that this area of the game received attention. If it works the way I hope it will, it will really add immersion to the game & be less resource-intensive (at lest for me) than before.

little disapointed stadiums werent touched this year but seeing this made me excited.
OOTP now properly tracks the development of your players and offers several ways to analyze the data. You receive monthly player development updates from your head scout (or the OSA, if scouts are disabled), who highlights the most important changes, such as when a pitcher in the lower minor leagues learns a new pitch and improves his prospect status. Been waiting for that for a long time. |

As for historical play, Markus, I wondered if you guys ever tried to put in a league waiver system for historical leagues that were pre-1960.
Back in those days if you wanted to trade a guy out of your league, like say Honus Wagner from the Pirates to the Browns, he had to clear National League waivers first. Meaning, the 7 other NL teams had to not pick him up in order for the trade to an American league can occur. That's why players back in those days rarely switched leagues. No free agency , and trades between leagues were rare. |

I'll pre-order in a couple of weeks, after my birthday. Feature list looks cool, but how will the new player creation stuff work with non-US leagues? There were issues before with the percentages of created players being hardcoded for the US, and I'm wondering if these features, especially the draft thing ("By default, players in the draft pool are now from the USA, Canada or Puerto Rico.") Can ths be customised to say England, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland, Ireland for an English league?
Does the "hidden independent leagues" thing mean that little or no work has been done on actual independent leagues that might be created? "Improved league strategy settings; i.e., define the number of starting pitchers, relief pitchers, and position players carried by the AI teams, split by DH and non-DH sub-leagues.". This sounds pretty useful, and will hopefully prevent teams having 12 pitchers and 38 hitters if I want a 50 man roster lol. |

"Improved Trading
We improve the trading AI each year, and OOTP 14 is no different. On top of that, we added a screen that keeps track of all the trades in the history of the league, with a detailed look at the involved players' salaries, overall ratings, prospect rankings, and so forth. OOTP 14 also adds a "Not interested in Player X" function that prevents the AI from repeatedly offering a certain player to you." It just got real people! This feature alone is worth buying the game for me. Markus, I will also private message you my shipping address for the iPad. Thanks. |
