OOTP on Dual Monitors

Bobfather · 03-30-2026, 12:49 PM

Are there any advantages to playing OOTP on multiple monitors? While playing out games and/or looking through the different screens?

As far as I know it is a single window interface and you can't run more than one instance of it. So, you couldn't have multiple windows (one for playing out a game, and one for league info as an example). The only advantage would be spanning both monitors for an ultra-wide view, which I haven't tried, but also doesn't seem that useful.

No direct advantages. Having report screens that open in the browser or my game spreadsheet open is fantastic though. Sometimes a screenshot of a certain page if its going to save a lot of back and forth navigation in the game.

I never tried to use 2 monitors with the game but i can tell you that after
going from a 32" 4k tv and a 48" oled 4k tv to 49" ultrawide monitor, the game seemed more natural.
When you watch a fielder throw the ball it takes slightly longer to travel. Or at least it appears to and that seems to make it a bit more natural.

I do agree with letting the game run while you work on the other monitor.
Anytime i can just glance instead of having to move my mouse to the icons on the taskbar the better.

I do have a 2nd 49" ultrawide so maybe i should try using both at the same time.

Playing it on a widescreen is glorious simply for the amount of info available. Very hard to do otherwise after.
