Just my first ever draft pick in the franchise retiring five months after he was drafted, no big deal...

Hi all,

This is my first foray into a fictional league. Just bought OOTP27.

Grew up going to Cape League games as a kid. Have seen the likes of Kyle Schwarber, Aaron Judge play on the beaches of the cape. Im not trying to duplicate the current setup of college summer league. I would just like to run a casual independent league starting with the current 10 team format and possibly expand as time goes on.

I’m going to start with only New England players eligible and expand out of that over time. My question is how to make it so my league can only have players drafted from one region to start. And I don’t want a league with players making crazy money. So how to operate that at the beginning.

My apologies if these are basic questions still trying to learn the ins and outs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

As you can see, the game on the 18th got canceled and somehow it automatically got rescheduled and now I have to play 2 games in one day? is this possibly a bug

I'm fairly new to the game and have only played ootp Go, so I'm not entirely sure how it differs from the full game but I know there's no Development Lab and I can't choose coaches.

Usually when I draft or trade for a prospect that has a high stamina rating, I'll shift the stamina weighting way down (sometimes to zero if I'm desperate) in favor of movement and control. I figure most pitchers get raked the third time through the lineup now so I'd rather try to realize the movement and control potential sooner. Plus I know that you can be a pretty effective starter at even a 40 stamina rating.

Is this a sound strategy? What do you do in this regard? Is stamina also tied to injury proness? That might make me rethink this strategy a little...

In 22, if you used Run and Hit, you had a decent chance. Have the mechanics changed that much between 22 and 26? I have guys with 60 speed/65 stealing ability getting thrown out before they're halfway to second by a pitcher with 40 hold and a catcher with arm strength of 50. It's the end of May and I have 1 stolen base on the entire team because it's just a way to run myself into an out. HELP!!!

So I’ve been thinking of getting OOTP 27, and I saw it was on sale for 40% off on steam. Is there going to be another sale any time soon or should I just pull the trigger now?

Also will this game be able to run on a laptop?

Thanks in advance

How do you get good starting pitchers? I've read that it's very difficult to develop pitchers without crazy TCR luck, and I thought "ehh, it can't be that hard, I'll draft 40/75 college starters in the first round in my first 3 drafts."

As I'm sure you can all guess, those three starters are now 45/45, 50/50, and 50/55. Y'all were right, I was wrong.

So if you aren't drafting and developing pitchers, how are you consistently getting pitching?

Meet Ken Markuson, my current 3B. I recently had need for a 3B and liked what I saw in Steve Beck, who was stuck behind two very good 3B with the Angels. Steve started 19 games for us and has been everything I hoped for when trading for him. The day after my trade deadline I noticed Markuson started at 3B. Who the f___ is Markuson?

I did not edit Steve Beck at all. Checking the players in the full game there is no Steve Beck. There is only one Ken Markuson, my starting 3B. Game logs show Beck at 3B, then Markuson. Both link to him.

I am going to respect his wishes. Whatever circumstances led to his choosing to change his name are his business. (My theory is that his father shared his name, and he decided he didn't want to be known by his father's name any longer. Preferred his middle name + mother's last name.)

Welcome to the team, Ken.

What's the biggest reason to upgrade?

Im on 27 go, and every draft for the past 2 years , the pitchers have had pbaibp at 35/35 or lower. Anyone else getting this, is my save glitched?
