Regarding top prospects

efnratz · 01-31-2023, 05:10 PM

I just picked up OOTP a few months ago and am having a blast with it so far. This forum, You Tube and reddit have answered a lot of questions that I have had regarding gameplay, so thanks for the help, already.

I have a new question; is there a way to configure the game so that I can quickly tell at a glance who is on my top prospect list when looking at my roster or different levels? I would have thought that there would be some icon next to them, or the name would be shaded in a different color, but I can't seem to find anything like that.

Thanks in advance.

You can customize your teams home page (see image 1) to show them.

Also, go to your Front Office, then click on the player development tab, you'll get a list (see image 2)of your top prospects.

On the ML tab is the Prospect Pipeline, which can be filtered by team.
Interestingly when making a trade there is an option for prospects but not on the roster overview page.

Thanks for the info, guys!

What I am also looking for is to be able to see at a glance which of my players are top prospects when I pull up the roster for one of my minor league teams, (or a trade screen), without having to dig into the history or change pages. I usually print out the TP screen and keep it close but was wondering if there was a different way.

You could always shortlist them. Then the name will always show in upper case letters. Maybe not ideal but it would make them stand out when looking at the roster.

I do this and I have a spreadsheet with my top prospects listed by minor league team. I keep that open on a second screen when I'm playing.

Perfect! I'll give that a try.
