Wasn't the question though how to MAXIMIZE the ai?
Coaching, I have never, NOT ONCE, played a game with coaching on where I eventually didn't end up with all of the best coaches at all levels. Another AI team here or there would also have a good staff, but mine would be the best in the league. If there's an advantage to having the best coaching staff, then doesn't having it on give the human player an advantage?
Scouting. Same thing. NEVER have I played with scouting on and not ended up with the best scout in the game, by ratings, across the board. It may take 5 seasons, it may take 10, but eventually, I will end up with the best scouts and coaches available. Does every AI team? No. Is this an advantage or not?
Sure, I could set up house rules, but I was answering the question at hand.
Player morale and player personality are jokes as far as trade decisions the AI makes for unhappy players demanding trades. Do I make trades that are less than optimal for my team just because a player is unhappy??? No. Is that an advantage or not?
Jeebus, I knew when I typed the response it was going to go over like a fart in a church because I dared to criticize the almighty OOTP in some way and didn't "qualify" my remarks by saying "OOTP's AI is the best available." It just gets so old and tiring.
Not one poster on here has named a single option that I listed where the AI handles it better than a human player. Can you? Can anyone?
Come on, here they are again.
Coaching
Scouting
Player Morale
Player Personality
Option years
Rule V Draft
Even financials (again I don't even turn this one off but if anyone thinks the AI handles financials better than the human player and doesn't lose quality players it wouldn't have to if it had handled them better than I'll eat my hat)
Which of those does the AI handle better than or even as well than as the human player??? And if the answer is none, then how is having them on NOT an advantage? You can argue it may not be a huge advantage, and I'm not making that argument either way. The OP asked HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE AI. The way to maximize the AI is to REMOVE AS MANY ADVANTAGES as you can.
I'll do everyone here the favor of making this my last post here because this crap just gets old. OOTP is the best baseball game on the market. I've said that at every site I've ever commented at. When I heard about this version adding the MLB license, I wanted to support that decision so badly I wanted to buy two copies and gift one here at the forums because of how many times I've received help here. Only to be told by Markus that he didn't approve of that idea as he wanted people purchasing the game instead of waiting to win it free. And then, within two weeks of taking down my post, what do I see???? At least TWO other giveaways, right here on the forums, of OOTP 16.
So I get it, I get the message loud and clear. And hopefully everyone else does as well so they can be saved themselves the frustration. Don't be critical of the game AT ALL and all is well. Otherwise, better carry a crap umbrella cause the turds will begin raining down on you.
Good bye
