How to solve the 2-way problem with Ohtani

coachbtown32 · 09-10-2022, 09:30 PM

I don't know if everybody has solved this issue but I did read that people were having the same problems that I was having. I saw a lot of ways people were trying to get around using Ohtani as a batter when he wouldn't show up on the roster to create lineups.

Here is how to do it:

1. Go to the Angels team page.
2. Go to the "Organization" tab.
3. Go to the "Strategy" tab.
4. There are 2 tabs, Team and Player. Go to the "Player" strategy tab.
5. The entire roster will show up on the left half of the screen. Select Ohtani and drag and drop him on the right side of the screen. A new screen will show up on the right half of the screen with pitching and batting statistics.
6. Go to the batting stats on the far right and select the box that says "use as 2-way." Once you select this box, Ohtani will now show up as a positional pitcher (P) but in the lineup roster so you can now put him in the lineup as a pitcher. There is also a box that asks if you want to use his as a DH when he is/is not pitching, your option.

Hope this helps anybody having problems with Ohtani. I wanted to post this to help anyone having issues because others have tried to post to help me with mine.

I can't figure out how to keep him in the game as a DH when I bring a reliever in for him.

I can't figure out how to keep OOTP from dictating that he not be the DH on opening day despite being in my line ups (because he is the SP I guess.)

I have a LF/SP player who I would prefer return to LF when he is pulled for a reliever, but it always replaces him.

It's been quite some time since I managed a team with a 2 way player but I think the way I solved the problem was on the days Ohtani was to start I replaced him with another SP in the daily lineups but kept him as DH. When I started the game and was on the lineups page I inserted Ohtani as the SP. Or it may have been when I was in the 3D sim but before the game started I inserted Ohtani. It was something like that but it did work. When I replaced Ohtani with another pitcher he stayed in the lineup as DH.

I don't even know if you are able to place a removed pitcher into a fielding position.

I have two way players in my fictional league and they are all handled correctly. When those players are starting pitchers and they are pulled for relievers, they remain in the game as a DH. On days where they are not pitching they play regular positions. Don't know why it works, but I'm glad it does. Only thing I noticed is that they get tired more frequently, so they need a rest day about once per week.
