It is 5/25/26 in my game and, for example, I try to trade Dustin May on STL who is 28 yrs old and 50/50 (over/potential) and pitching great for the Cards so far this year. I'm trying to trade to PHI for a 25 yr old RP Ethan Chenault who is 30/35...just to test it out. And response from PHI is "That won't work for us. Got a better proposal?" And then I click Make this work now button and it shows it would take any one of my absolute best players in my org, the 60-80 potential players, in addition to May...for a low-level RP who is 30/35! That is crazy and not right, in my opinion. And this is the same way with other clubs too. Seems trading is messed up. I have Trading Difficulty all the way down to Easy and it still does this. Quite frustrating. I got OOTP 27 after hearing the trade logic was going to be much improved, but not seeing it. By the way, this is after having just downloaded the latest update on 6/4, the public_beta 27.3.65 version. ]]> OOTP 27/PT 27 - Technical Support bmknt20 https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370042 Corrupt Game https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=370038&goto=newpost Thu, 04 Jun 2026 16:12:20 GMT My computer crashed when I was playing OOTP27, and after I tried to reopen the save it said that "The loading of the database failed.

League files on the FTP: stiffy-OOTP26-pbabip.zip and stiffy-OOTP27-pbabip.zip (zipped .dat files)

When I converted my OOTP 26 league to 27, each pitcher's PBABIP rating rescaled up (raw editor values went from about 110 to about 405). The league-average PBABIP that pitchers get graded against stayed on the old scale at about 106. So with the average stuck low, every pitcher grades well above it and the overalls end up inflated.

I tested a fresh MLB league built in OOTP 26 and converted that to 27. It came out correct. The player values rescaled the same way (about 108 to about 398) and the league-average PBABIP rescaled to about 420 to match, so the pitchers graded normally. The conversion routine works in general. The problem is in my league's saved data.

Where it shows clearest (relative ratings turned on):
I exported pitcher ratings with relative ratings on, before and after converting, for the same 384 pitchers. After the conversion all 384 show a PBABIP relative rating about 28 to 29 points higher (vL +29, vR +28, pitch +29). Every other rating holds steady. Stuff, Control, HRA, and Stamina barely move, and Stuff actually drifts down a touch. A jump that size on PBABIP alone, hitting every single pitcher, is the frozen league average coming through. It drags pitcher OVR up about 5 points across the staff (315 of 384 pitchers).

Things that do not move the 106 average (all tried on my league):

No league or ratings setting changes it
Auto-Calc Modifiers does not update it
Simming to Opening Day does not recompute it
Re-importing rosters does not recompute it (values come in as-is, average stays at 106)
Emptying the league of all players, converting, then adding one fresh player still shows 106, so the value looks baked into the league file

Expected: the league-average PBABIP should rescale along with the player values during conversion, the way it does for a fresh MLB league.

This looks related to the BABIP column issue Matt flagged here: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=369536 (extra BABIP column added to the export but not the import, fix coming next patch). That fix is on the import side. Mine happens during conversion and leaves the league-average PBABIP on the old scale, so deleting a column on import would not reach it. Possibly related as well: https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=369978 (PBABIP not applying on roster import). Will the next patch also cover the league-average PBABIP failing to rescale when a 26 league converts to 27?

I put both league files on the FTP so you can compare them. I also attached the before and after relative-ratings exports (26ratingsrelative.csv and 27ratingsrelative.csv) and the two roster exports. The PBABIP jump is visible in those on its own.

I am experiencing a random startup crash in OOTP 27.

### System Information

* OOTP 27.2.60
* Windows 11 Home (Build 22621)
* Intel UHD Graphics 620
* Graphics Driver: 23.20.16.4849 (Driver Date: 2017-10-27)
* Steam version

### Issue Description

The game sometimes launches normally, but very often it crashes before reaching the main menu.

Typical behavior:

1. Launch OOTP 27 from Steam
2. A black screen appears
3. The game exits without reaching the main menu

The crash is random:

* Sometimes it crashes immediately
* Sometimes it launches successfully
* If it launches successfully, all game functions work normally
* The game can be played, saved, and exited without issues

### Things I Have Already Tried

* Reinstalled OOTP 27
* Verified Steam game files
* Deleted and regenerated the OOTP user folder
* Ran as Administrator
* Disabled 3D mode
* Disabled OpenGL mode
* Reduced FaceGen settings
* Disabled online features
* Disabled news loading from server
* Removed Fasoo DRM software
* Tested the public_beta branch

None of these changed the behavior.

### Event Viewer Error

Windows Event Viewer consistently reports:

AppName: ootp27.exe
ModuleName: ootp27.exe
ExceptionCode: c0000005
FaultingOffset: 0000000001e4c11b

The faulting module is always ootp27.exe itself, and the fault offset remains the same across crashes.

### Additional Information

* OOTP 24 runs normally on the same machine
* The issue has existed since the first installation of OOTP 27
* No crash logs are generated before the crash occurs
* The crash appears to happen very early during startup

Has anyone experienced something similar, especially on Intel UHD 620 systems?

Any help would be appreciated. ]]> OOTP 27/PT 27 - Technical Support deep3curry https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369984 Importing Rosters Issue https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369978&goto=newpost Sun, 31 May 2026 15:53:50 GMT I have noticed that I can export rosters, and it reports every rating correctly.

Any voting screen, All-Stars, end of season awards, Hall of Fame, makes the game lag so badly it crashes. And if you force quit the game, it creates an extremely load buzzing noise that can only be stopped by fully restarting or shutting off your computer.

Members of my community have also reported extreme levels of lag during voting screens. Something may have been bugged during a recent patch.

I've had this issue in several sims in OOTP 27. This isn't the most egregious example as there aren't as many unsigned FAs as other files, but it's notable for one reason.

I FTPed a file called Free Agents.zip to you guys.

Usually this seems to be because the AI teams have gone over budget, but in this file there are many teams with budget money available, and a fair few 2-WAR-or-more FAs available (It's mid-May in game).

Eg Jackson Holliday, Tommy Edman, Brayan Rocchio. 30 year old Chase Meidroth put up 2.7 WAR last year and will sign a minor league deal for 270K.

Go to Free Agents, select time frame Last Year and sort by WAR. As mentioned, there are not too many of them but I've seen the issue over multiple saves after say five seasons have passed.

Thanks for the condsideration! ]]> OOTP 27/PT 27 - Technical Support Pedro https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com//showthread.php?t=369957
