Does this also works on ootp 23,24 or 25?

Any new fresh guide for ootp 25?

Smart approach

Only thing he got wrong is... 1 long is ALMOST equal to 2 short. If you do 3 short you are going to be left with about 3 weeks left before opening day, not allowing you to do another program. When a program says 5-6 weeks, it takes 6 weeks, it never changes and if it says 3-4 months, once again it will be 4 months, it will never be 3. Now when you can only do 1 long and 1 short in the total of the off-season and your long is 3-4 (4) months and your short are 5-6 (6) weeks, that means 2 short = 1 long and that only leaves you with enough time for one more short. So maybe he has a typo and meant 1 long almost equals 2 short? You can ALWAYS, as long as you start one the day the lab opens, run 1 long and 1 short program. (this is also as long as on the day the long program concludes, you get that short program picked, you can't afford to miss a day.) Also, I would never say that short are better than long. If you have prospects that can utilize the hitting/pitching programs, I would use them, and for pitchers, ALWAYS use the Improve Secondary Pitch. Then on second programs, yes, use defense or running. Even use improve defense on your pitchers. Also, when picking defense, make sure you keep an eye on where your player is being trained at, as it chooses your highest rated position, that you are trained at. So if your guy is a 3B rated and trained as a 60 but, he is rated and trained at 1B at a 70, he is going to be in the defense program as a 1B, not a 3B.

did they remove this in a recent update? I just ran through the first dev lab of the offseason but wasn't able to select defense again, it just says "Attempted" now in a greyed out, unclickable box. disappointing if so :(

Very glad you have decided to re-engage OOTP series, despite your past frustrations. To reinforce what others have stated, it is great to have your knowledge and format to help fans go deeper and have a richer game play experience. Excited to see any of your video posts to come!

Thank you!!!

Please do a focus on "Set Developmental Focus"

is he back???

He has risen.

Great to see you back! What would you recommend for pitchers in the dev lab? Is it worth putting them in or just focus on hitters? It might make for a great follow up, even if it is very short. Keep up the awesome work!

Was just thinking the other day how all of the ootp players I follow basically quit making videos. Really would like to see someone get more in depth with player strategy and rating values.

Holy shit he’s back

The legend is back!

WELLL WELLL WELLLL... Look who it is.. IF it isn't mister I HATE OOTP DEVELOPMENTS in the flesh....

😮😮😮😮😮

THE GOAT IS BACK

Yo you’re back?

Binge watched a bunch of your videos today. Learned a lot. Noticed you never did those five final videos you promised. I hope youre doing well!

I recall a few years back when PT came out, Markus & co swore up and down that this was not going to happen. That the resources would help them build a better base game. People were nervous, and now in hindsight they were right to be. I stopped buying a few years ago, although i did just buy 25

Never seen a person strongly suggest something and in the first 4 minutes completely debunk what they were arguing against.

I can't even find where the scouting options are in the menu

How do you think this strategy changes with the OOTP 25 hard cap on international signings?

I just installed the game yesterday. I appreciate you putting this kind of info out there.

I agree. But that just shows the game is wrong in this regard. It's like saying "You can't tell how good a player is by seeing how good a player is"

One of the worst sports simulations I've ever played.

I've been playing OOTP for 14 years and I have never once played PT. I knew this was going to happen. The sad thing is, I'm STILL blown away with the lack of improvements in the non PT side of the game.

I’ve been a nasty girl (nasty)

It’s simple! Ootp is a game and not real life, therefore the ratings of a player drives his stats. Never vice versa! So simple yet so many people fail to grasp it! Great video 🎉🎉

A) When Markus sold his game and IP to a Korean phone company B) They care more about the 3D graphics engine. These two things are what are causing ootp get worse every year.

36 million in player development? Bro my entire budget is 55 million.

Top scout matters a lot.

Stats are useful for inflating my players values in my online leagues in trade talks though, did you consider that? no!

Thanks for the very informative and entertaining video.

Any comments on Ootp 25?

How do you adjust your lineup throughout the season? Or do you bother?

Can anyone here point me in the right direction to understand how RP fatigue affects a starting pitcher? In my fictional league I sometimes see starters brought in as relief pitchers (I have very rarely done this myself only in emergency extra inning situations). When I look at my opponent's substitution screen I added SP fatigue and RP fatigue and their starters all have low RP fatigue %,, but good SP fatigue. I just can't seem to find any explanation on how these two stats interact. Surely a starting pitcher with low RP fatigue has some affect on his ability to start, right?

I can see EA buying them out.

Honestly I think a lot of these problems go back much further than OOTP 24. I bought every version of OOTP from 6-15 because they actually made large changes but ever since about OOTP 13 I think the changes the improvements they have made have been quite underwhelming. For example, the MLB sim engine has gotten incrementally better, but prospect development and minor league play have been extremely unrealistic for over a decade now.

re: catchers starting ~120 games - any thoughts on putting two catchers in the starting lineup, but alternating which one is at catcher and which one is at DH? Is this a viable way to get maximum bang for buck from your catchers, or does catcher generally not have enough league-wide depth of offensive talent to justify spending the DH slot on a catcher?

Thanks for this. Any tips on setting scouting priorities? My scout always comes back with half a star rated international amateur players with half a star potential even when I have my priority set with a minimum quality. Im only 1 season down, but ive not found anyone worth signing yet.

I do agree with most points made in this video and for the most part I agree with not using stats as some are flawed based on the game engine. One key point not brought up is the delayed scouting reports. I've seen numerous examples of hitters drafted in rounds 6 or later with 35/50 power current/potential from my scout with a very high accuracy report within the previous few months to go on to hit a crazy amount of HR's in rookie or low A. Than I request another report and it still doesn't come back as improved from 35/50 rating but all of a sudden in the offseason it jumps like crazy to 55/60. It's clear from those examples that the on field performance predates the scouting report changes so for those examples statistics are invaluable. In your examples in the video you were talking from a 100% scouting accuracy examples but in franchise mode almost everyone I assume doesn't play with 100% accuracy on so my above example becomes very frequent.

Every year my coaching staff is fighting 😢, my staff cohesion sucks

but have you considered the fun and realism of factoring in statistics to some extent

Ive ignored PT since its inception but I still keep coming back hoping to happen upon a believable 3D play experience to match the statistical brilliance in OOTP. Funny how over the years theyve boasted improvements in each release but yet here we are at 24 and this is what we have haha. I dont ask for much, after all i loved Earl Weaver baseball on the Amiga. Thanks for the video!

Grateful to you! Best of luck to you

Hey look they increased the price of the game this year. Gotta jump on that inflation money train.

I know it’s been forever, but do you have any insight on how catcher/SS defense impacts in 24 compared to 23? Is it similar or closer to the old 22 and prior model

If someone complains about the gacha format on discord, the whales come out in force and say that the game would not exist without them. These old guys pay 5k easily without complaining. If only they would take some type of stand, things would improve.

Once Markus sold the game I knew it would be headed in a money grab PT. Once he leaves for good this game is toast.
