![]() Probably the most immersive way of playing OOTP is to play a fictional game, creating your own baseball world. I, personally, rarely use this but for aficionados of the history of the game, what could be better than simulating the 1927 Yankees, the 1994 Expos or 1992 Blue Jays? One of the highlights for me is to be able to manage a complete minor league system from Triple-A all the way down to an international complex (where players improve but don’t play games) as well as the Dominican Summer League.Īnother game mode is the historical simulation. You can play in a world with any or all of these leagues, leaving you to pick up players from the independent leagues and outbid the Japanese league for free agents. Another way to play is to manage in one of the other major or independent leagues around the world including the Japanese and Korean major leagues, the Cuban professional league, Dutch or Italian leagues or even the North American independent leagues. You step into your new job/role and guide your team to domination and the World Series over years and decades, building your minor leagues. One is to just jump in to the 2016 season as the GM (and/or manager) of one of the 30 big league teams. I’m sure that your ability to achieve these goals makes a difference in the long run as to whether or not (or when) you get fired, but I didn’t play long enough to get to that point. If you’re playing in a regular mode, you’ll have an owner who gives you a series of goals. That said, it’s probably not wise to delegate too much because it might cause issues down the line. You can ask your scouting director’s assistance when it comes to your draft and it can leave you to focus strictly on building your major league roster. You can delegate minor league management to your assistant GM. Don’t want to set your team’s lineup? Get your manager to do it. It can probably be a little bit overwhelming at first but this game has become easier and easier to customize how much micromanaging you want to do. Set your rosters, trade for players, sign free agents, hire your staff, set your ticket prices, draft your minor leaguers, and on and on. If you’re new to the OOTP series, it is the most realistic and immersive management simulation game for baseball. I probably wasn’t as active in the promotion/demotion category of the minor leagues as I could have been but was active enough and some surprising results came out of the season sim. I also tried to start the season with the minor leagues set as close as possible to the minor league rosters as the Jays had them set up to start the year. I simmed a 2016 season with as close as possible rosters to what the club was playing with at the time I started my season (a few days after the start of the season). First is a game review that talks about the game itself, how to play, the mechanics of it and second part will look at how it simulates the Blue Jays and their 2016 season. ![]() This game keeps getting better and more realistic, particularly for those of you who follow the minor leagues. It’s one of the few computer games that I actually play on a regular basis and, although I’ve seriously cut my playing time back, I still am active in an online league. I’ve been playing Out of the Park Baseball (or OOTP for short) since about 2010. Most settings related to roster management are made in the Rulesscreenduring game creation, or after game creation by navigating to OOTP Menu | Game Setup | League Setup tab | Rules tab.Full confession. This section of the manual will walk you through some of the more important aspects of roster rules and management, including the following:Īlmost everything related to rosters comes into play on a team's Transaction page, accessible by navigating to Team Menu | your team | Transactions tab, or by clicking the Transactions icon (a clipboard with red and green arrows) in the icon bar at the bottom of the page. So, it's also important to understand how OOTP works in these regards. ![]() OOTP's treatment of roster management is awfully close to the real world, but it's not identical. However, this requires an in-depth understanding of how rosters work in baseball. Much of a general manager's job involves carefully managing your team's rosters. Managing a team isn't all about signing big free agents. ![]()
