Crazy end to season

hqbaseball · 09-29-2016, 06:04 PM

I am new to the forums and only recently downloaded OOTP a few weeks ago so I have not come close to exploring the depth of the game. I started with rebuilding the Angels. After three years of losing, my team started to contend in 2019. I'm assuming yall hear many crazy stories about playoff races, but I just have to get this out of my system.

The acquisition of Bryce Harper (10 yrs/398 M) has energized the franchise, and the Halos are finally contending. Stuck in third place behind the Astros and the ridiculously good Rangers, I will not be able to win the division but I have a strong grip on the second wild card spot. At the end of September, I have managed to tie the Astros for the 1st wc. The Blue Jays are several games behind both of us. 6 games remain in the regular season. The Jays win 5 in a row and I lose 5 in a row (all to the Rangers and Astros). With one game left, the Blue Jays have pulled ahead of me for 2 wc spot. I have to win and they have to lose in order to prolong my season. They lose against Boston and I score 6 in the first inning to jump ahead against Houston. Heading into the bottom of the ninth, I'm winning 7-4. I summon Craig Kimbrel to close. He walks Daz Cameron and a steal and a passed balls later, he advances to third. Daz proceeds to steal home (STEALS HOME!!!! it was a called strike too). Bregman hits a double, AJ Reed hits a run scoring single, Correa walks, and then Kyle Tucker hits a walk off double.

I probably should have taken Kimbrel out. I would attach the game recap and chart but I don't know how to.

Also, random ?: Is there a way for me to make overall and potential ratings go up by increments of five when on the 20 to 80 scale? The individual ratings (such as power, speed, etc.) go up by increments of five but the ovr and talent ratings do not. How do I fix this?

That would be every Angel fan's worst nightmare. Which is what should happen to every 9 y/o boy that roots for them. I specialize in that.

BTW, to post your recap, use the manage attachments button, choose your file, and the tap upload.
