The new patch for X has me interested. 2 Questions:

1) Is it OK to have OOTP 9 & OOTP X on the same computer at the same time, or will it present any compatibility issues? (I would think all the files would be stored in different folders, but I just want to confirm).

2) How is historical play in OOTP X vs. 9? Accuracy? Flexibility? (I see in the new patch the correct jersey numbers are imported--that's cool). Is upgrading worth the price if I'm mainly going to play historical leagues?

Thanks, and happy simming!:D ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions Murph3 http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190747-out-park-baseball-9-player-considering-x.html Spring training rosters http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190746-spring-training-rosters.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:06:15 GMT How do you stop the sim from putting the entire 40-man roster on the 25-man roster during spring training.

What the hell is that? Did anyone ever see something like that?

I wanted to use College (20 Teams) and High School (20 Teams) feeders. Is this enough teams with a 16 team league with AAA, AA, A, SSA, R

Every player on a college or high school roster has a 5 Star Potential rating.....even if there potential ratings suck. The scouting report talks about how great they are even if there ratings on a 1-10 scale are 4/3/2/7/8 or something like that.

Any ideas? ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions rabbitzk749 http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190738-feeder-leagues-filled-5-star-potential-players-suck.html Free agency salary requests (low and high) http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190729-free-agency-salary-requests-low-high.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:45:11 GMT Tried searching, nothing came up at all. Strange...

Well, two scenarios I've run into today:

1) In my online league, we just hit free agency after the 2009 season and players are asking for a BOATLOAD of money. Guys like Orlando Cabrera asking for $25M+ per year. Sounds like these crazy demands will come down, which is good but I was curious to hear some feedback.

2) My solo-league, it's the exact opposite. I have guys like Vlad Guerrero only requesting $2.5M/year and even middle of the road guys like Ryan Freel, he starts his "demands" at $600,000.

How can I adjust these? I have salary info set at MLB quickstart default; so $16M for star players on down to $400,000 for league minimum.

What do I need to adjust here? ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions Mike Lowe http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190729-free-agency-salary-requests-low-high.html Suddenly All My Catchers Are Throwing the Ball Everywhere http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190725-suddenly-all-my-catchers-throwing-ball-everywhere.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:22:53 GMT WTF? Playing a historic league, starting in 1969. All's well till we get to 1972... season 4. Suddenly, Earl Williams, my main catcher, is chucking every throw in sight into the outfield. Fine then. Let's try Ellie Hendricks, a real catcher (though with similar average-type catcher ratings to Williams). Second game in the lineup... 4 throwing errors. So I go with new draftee Rick Dempsey. First game in the lineup... throws into center.

Through 82 games, my catchers now have about 35 errors among them. Every time there's a SB attempt, it appears, we have a throwing error. This is insane. And of course it's killing the team.

Anybody have any idea why all my catchers are turning into Steve Sax/Chuck Knoblauch/Mackey Sasser? ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions Timeless http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190725-suddenly-all-my-catchers-throwing-ball-everywhere.html Aging and development modifiers? http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190715-aging-development-modifiers.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:44:17 GMT I did a search and don't see much that looks definitive. I have been a bit out of touch this year. Is there a consensus on aging and development modifiers yet, or do things work well at 1.000 across the board?

We have just released build 10.4.36 to the public. Theis patch only fixes FTP related problems and a couple of cosmetic issues. So if you do not have any FTP problems in your online league then you do not need to upgrade to this patch.

It seems to stall at the beginning of the backup process, and the screen never changes. I end up exiting out of OOTP via the task manager.

Is my computer at fault, or does backing up a league just take 3-4 hours? ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions jar2574 http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190690-how-do-you-backup-your-league.html Quick Start Frustration http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190687-quick-start-frustration.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:40:21 GMT When I originally heard the term "quick start", I assumed it meant a way to save a league structure after making all necessary customizations including leagues, teams, etc. Basically a way to save in template form everything the way you like it - excluding the actual players.

Now, however, I'm seeing that it's basically a glorified backup. Meaning - I save the quick start - not only does it save all my customized parameters, but also statistics, boxscores, etc. Not what I want at all.

I then thought well maybe I'll just take my league (that I really want to restart with slight parameter changes and a whole new slate of players) and save it as a template. While it saves the structure of the league, all my logos, uniforms, parks, etc., aren't saved with it. Heck, that's about 50% of the drudgery of creating a new league!

Ok, so then I decided to perhaps go back to the quickstart route. Even though a quickstart saves all stats info and everything, I thought maybe a way to solve my problem is to load the quickstart and just blow out all the info I don't want. So - I'm asking here because I don't see it - how can I take a quickstart that was saved in June (in game-time), and blow out all the history/statistics/players and start from scratch with the same league parameters/uniforms/caps/logos, etc.? Is it possible? ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions Craig Scarborough http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190687-quick-start-frustration.html Use Scorecards? http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190685-use-scorecards.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:43:19 GMT After picking up a book on the history of scorekeeping in baseball ($1.00 at a discount store), I'm seriously considering starting to do this as I play out my games. One of the aspects the book says greatly changes a game experience is the familiarity you gain with the players. I think I can see it, looking at every aspect of the at-bat. It'll probably slow my gameplay time way down, but it may well be worth it.

Any of you solo players ever use a scorecard? In days of way gone by, I remember keeping score with the old Statis-Pro and it did give me that at a glance look at a player's day that the quick box score doesn't quite do. ]]> OOTP 10 - General Discussions endgame http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/ootp-10-general-discussions/190685-use-scorecards.html
