I quit!
I'm not leaving OOTP, don't worry Just figured I'd had enough on my main personal save, and I think it's finally time to start something new. Some stats:
-Year started: 2014 (so, OOTP15, I guess?) -Year retired: 2087 (simmed a couple years after) -Entire career as GM of the Blue Jays (most of the time GM-only, once we added that mode in ) -Career earnings: 55M (no salary my first 20 seasons, until we added that in) -Best season: 126 wins -Worst season: 75 wins (2014) -Worst season (after I built my team): 82 wins -Longest WS streak: 2 (yup, I never won 3 in a row) -Longest WS drought: 5 (after my first win - took 8 years to get the first win) -First star: Chase Vallot. 2380 games at C. 513 HR for me. 15 straight years at 136+ games started at C. -Best player: Yong-u Park. 127.5 WAR with the team. .450 career OBP. 400 HR/700 SB (still active at 43, but the AI decided not to re-sign him after I quit the team). Over 2000 career walks with the team. And he only signed as an international FA at age 24, so always wonder what his "previous" stats would have been. His last season with me he played 147 games in his age-39 season with a .465 OBP and 31 steals/35 HR. His age 42 season only had 81 games, but still 3.8 WAR and a .478 OBP. Still an 80 overall player. Do I need to debug our aging code now? -Highest career HR: Tony Angel, 708 (like Park, now going into age-40 season with someone else, at 763 career HR) Pitching was my enemy. I never had a starter who hit 200 wins for me. Stieb still holds most team records on the pitching side. It's been a ton of fun over the years Now I have to think about what to take on next. |

Whoa, that’s an impressive career winning percentage. I’ve had some careers over the years that went over 20 seasons, and one career made it past 50 seasons. I don’t think I ever finished above .600. I’d say you earned your retirement.

You wrote that you started in 2014, but was that also the year that you began your clock in-game? Like, it wasn't a historical start? Was it real players or fictional to begin with?
Cool to see. |

It was an MLB standard game. Chapman had 450 saves for my team after I signed him a couple years in. Vallot was my first round pick in the 2nd or 3rd year, and it took me a couple years to realize he was a real player when he got picked for real in 2016 or 2017. I also remember picking up Brendan Rogers as a rare middle infielder who could hit 40+ HR. Always interesting to see if any of them will do as well in real life as they did for me!

Did you manage any of the games like big playoff games or was it all sim? Very cool to see you guys put in a lot of work with your own teams.
