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!
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.
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!
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 :(
He made this post 3 weeks ago... You have not been able to spam defense since like 3 weeks after the game release, when it was patched then. Also he does not say, anywhere in this video, that you can run the defense lab over and over on a single player. Listen at 4:55 He says "Place players that have already attempted at defense in for baserunning or base stealing"
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.
