I did a search and saw some posts on the fog setting from a few weeks back, but nothing recently. Did the developers every reply? I did not see anything.

It seems like it either needs to be significantly decreased in frequency or at least made much less dense. I am seeing it in probably 2 in 7 or 8 games, and outside of maybe trying to play a game in Seattle MLB wouldn't even be playing a game in most stadiums with that level of fog density. I might have seen three baseball games in my life (and we are talking thousands of games) where there was more than just a bit of fog during the game. It's a neat feature if you see it once every year or two in a game, but this is way, way too unrealistic. Add in its effect on your ability to actually see the game on a computer and at the least we should have the option to turn on/off, or adjust the frequency and/or density. ]]> OOTP 27 - General Discussions DaBears https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370294 100% Accuracy Glitch https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370292&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:32:29 GMT Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but in all my saves recently, when I am using 100% accuracy I am getting inflated potentials in drafts.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but in all my saves recently, when I am using 100% accuracy I am getting inflated potentials in drafts. If I toggle to normal accuracy, I get non-inflated numbers. For example, in this recent IFA class, with 100% scouting accuracy, there are 7 80 potential players. When I toggle to normal, the highest potential player in the draft is a 65. Can I still assume the 100% accuracy is correct?

This makes sense, as I noticed that the HOF classes have gotten really small (like 10-15 players each year). I attached an image of the recently retired players to show what I'm seeing.

Is there any way to fix this or is this a known issue and my save is ruined?

I joined mainly to undo some real life trades, etc., and see how things could have been different. For example, what's the fastest way to undo the catastrophic White Sox trades of 1960 that shipped out Norm Cash, Johnny Callison, Johnny Romano, etc., and seeing if the Sox can win some AL pennants later in the decade?

In the future, I look forward to learning all about the GM aspects, making trades, managing budgets, scouting the minors, etc., but for now, what's the best way to make a few roster tweaks to a given season and play games with me as the Sox and the rest of the AL managed by the computer?

Thanks one and all -- look forward to learning this game and being an asset to the community!

Here are some OOTP deviations from the game that I discovered:

Before 1909, there was basically just the manager, and sometimes he was a player. Player-managers are currently not supported properly in the game (they are treated as two different individuals and can play on different teams)

By 1920, most teams used 1B & 3B coaches, although sometimes one of these duties was performed by the manager

Post-WW2, pitching and bullpen coaches became standardized

Batting and bench coaches were not common until the 1960s. This surpried me most of all!

I guess my point is that it would be nice to be able to toggle off the various coaching positions as desired, just as we currently can with the base coaches, leaving their historical introductions under the player's control. It turns out that the only personnel positions that have any historical parallel in the earliest days of the 20th century are manager, scout, and trainers. ]]> OOTP 27 - General Discussions uruguru https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370278 Help on Importing Negro League players https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370276&goto=newpost Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:28:10 GMT I would like to know how I would import Negro players into a custom league .I would like the import the players at MLE.The players would be imported as free agents and I will assign them to a team .My MLB teams will be comprised of various all time franchise greats I want to establish two Negro...

It is hard to tell them apart. It gets really messy when you have players on base.

Simple to me, just make the dialog box not live to move to the next batter, so you scroll back and read what happened.
