2. We need to turn this off. I think it's cool if you are playing a league that originated on OOTP because you've had time to adapt to these systems. I'm not going to spend time on "making my players happy" in addition to everything else. If there is one GM in this league who could take advantage of OOTP’s team chemistry angle, it’s you. 2024: “Sean just won 107 games without a single rostered player over a 95 OPS+/ERA+. But he’s got 15 spark plugs, 7 work ethics, and 3 team leaders.” JIm

That's why I know I don't want to spend my time doing that. It's a bit too subjective. Hard pass, thanks.

I just bought it on Steam because I'm too lazy to remember basic stuff like update the program. Thanks Steam!

I've learned a lot about OOTP this weekend. I'm still on the fence about whether I'm going to like it. What I do like is the additional work they do on projections and ratings. It affected some of my favorite players adversely, but it made my team a lot more interesting.

Honestly, Connor wrote a script than made it possible. Something about VLOOKUP and merging and Bob's your uncle! I had previously spent a bunch of time manually loading about 1/2 of the rosters. It's.... more complex than DMB... and could have been done if Connor wasn't a hero.

Do we have a roster file somewhere for OOTP? I've got the license key input.
Now what?

For those who have not downloaded, LA John shared some great advice over in MLBSA, where we're doing the same thing. You'll have two options from OOTP:
1. Physical download to your laptop 2. Download through STEAM app
Consider going with Steam. On one hand, you do have the additional hassle of downloading the Steam interface, but John said the advantage is that Steam will automatically update any new patches with the game. (There's been 2 for the 2024 version already!) If you download only to your device, it's your responsibility to manually add any OOTP updates throughout the year, which could be a pain.
I've used Steam for a handful of games over the past decade, many of which I haven't played in years. As soon as I re-opened the app this morning, they were all right there. OOTP Steam all the way!

The other thing to note is that if you download separate from steam you need to keep the updates current. If you miss an update your file won’t load.

Just a quick update, Joe has been busy, but is working through prepping the league to send to StatsPlus (https://statsplus.net/), who is a 3rd party vendor we will be using to help with a variety of things (stats, hosting I think, other toolings I don't know).
Not sure on any exact timeline, but we're working on it

Not sure on any exact timeline, but we're working on it Thanks for the update! I imagine there's a ton of work getting all of this set up this year. Also, if anybody wants to mess around with the sim, if you go to export rosters and send me that file I can send you an import file back that will load 95% of the rosters. It won't be perfect, but it will be close enough to let you mess around in the game with close-ish NSBL files. Unfortunately, the way OOTP structures their playerid system I can't sent out a universal file until we're all synced up with the same game save basically, so this has to be done each time a new game is created. The best way I've found is: -New Standard Game -Set whatever settings/bells & whistles and stuff you want -Export rosters (.txt file) -Send to me -I send you back import rosters (.txt file) -Import rosters into game -Save game -Create backup (VERY IMPORTANT) -Sim a season or do whatever -Then you have one of two choices to get back to your backup save -1. You can restore backup to create a new file to start from -2. You can force quit OOTP, which bypasses the auto-save on quit thing, then re-open OOTP, go to load game, and you should be able to be back at the start of the season (your last save point) For #2 you can't really sim part of a season and continue later, so if that's what you want to do #1 is your best option. Also for #2 you'll have to change the auto-save game setting to "once a year" or something. Not sure if any of that made sense, but for those of you who want to mess around with it post any questions here and I'll do my best to answer them. I can also post the roster playerID mapping file if you want to mess around with the export/import files yourself

I highly recommend playing around with the game too (either with NSBL rosters or just the default MLB ones, it doesn't really matter). It's a lot different than DMB. I would say there is dramatically *MORE* variance associated with player/team performance. I haven't gathered any numbers to compare, but in my test sims teams hop all over the place, and while I haven't looked as closely at individual players, it seems that to be the case as well.
Other major things I've noticed that are different than DMB: -hot and cold streaks, not sure how much they affect performance, but they're indicated -players playing out of position can "learn" the new position as they get more experience, and the game shows you what they can "max" out at the position -player projections seem to maybe use ZiPS as some sort of baseline, but OOTP has it's own opinions which affect how a player is projected -other stuff I can't think of or remember, feel free to post your findings here as well!

So we will be having players learn new positions? Is there other items in OOTP that change how a player is rated from zips?

Hot and cold streaks are the worst.
I’ve found that they are accurate for batters, but quite the opposite for pitchers.
If you have the flame icon appear by your SP in a key game, that’s almost a golden recipe for him to get shelled.
