Newbie

OOTPBB21 is amazing.
Could someone please tell me how to install the most recent patch? I bought the game last night.
Also...I see symbols next to players and I don't know what they mean. How do I find the meanings.
TY and be safe.

1. If you bought the game last night, then you have the most recent version, no need to install latest patch.

2. Go to your team page, click on "Rosters and Transactions" Tab - look along the bottom of the screen.

Many thanks. Is there a place in the manual that shows what the numbers mean ? I think a blue cross means cold streak.
I took the Mets and Syndergard was injured after he completed and won on opening day. Out for the season.

Be safe

Avatars? I'm not sure what you mean

Bob, do yourself a favor and keep this running in your web browser whenever you play. http://manuals.ootpdevelopments.com/...php?man=ootp21

I have almost 4 months of experience playing OOTP and I still need to reference it every single day. Usually, multiple times. There are just so many features and screens and options. OOTP's online manual is probably the best manual I've ever read. The search works perfectly and almost everything is explained in an easy to read manner.

I read on the manual using the F1 key. What does that key do? I don't have that key on my laptop.
Thanks and be safe. Bob in Buffalo

It brings up “Help” on a particular screen.

Almost certain you have an F1 key (top row on your keyboard).

Nope...no F1 key or any other "F" keys. And boy do I need help.
Thanks and be safe.

Been playing so long I forget how intimidating this can be for a Newbie. Stick with it and you will get it eventually. You currently own the best baseball simulation ever made. Take you time and have fun.


Go Bills.

OMG...It certainly was for me. Heck, I'm almost at 5 months of playing and I still have to stop and look up things in the manual or come in here and ask "What does this do?" or "Can someone explain this to me...?" if the manual didn't clear things up for me 100%. Thankfully, there are so many awesome people in these forums who are very, very helpful.

You’ll be playing for years and years, and still have questions. 21 years of playing for me and I still have questions from time to time.

This is excellent advice. Seriously, Bobby, excellent advice.

I'd only disagree that the search works perfectly. I'm sure for ALB's needs right now it's fine. He's not wrong. Sometimes it takes awhile to pare down to exactly what you're looking to define or have explained, particularly if you're extremely detail-oriented. If you aren't or you're not a researcher/reader, then you've likely not read my post to here at this point.

And the search function here - on this forum -is a whole other story.

I'm certain development has a manual update in their sights, so continue to rely on it and further improvements will no doubt come your way.

Welcome to the fold. And ALB, thanks for sharing what gets it done for you.

You can also right click on the player's name.
