Editor's note: This continues to be the most fun I've ever had with an OOTP dynasty project. And I've been playing a long time! Best sports sim ever, hands down.
Purely unexpected to reach the finals after the disastrous start to the season and the injuries that have piled up. Didn't think we had enough pitching and bats to get through Sanford, who finished fourth but who I believe had the best overall team.
I love how this game brings characters to life. My stud pitcher Dan McSwain might be my favorite player ever. He's pure ice-in-the-veins. He'll get in a jam in the latter innings, I'll visit the mound and his response is usually something like "I've yet to even break a sweat. Leave me alone." And then he usually responds with a shutdown play.
In this past game, with him sitting at 106 pitches and giving up a one-out single, I had the manager pay him a visit (with closer and set-up man ready to go). Pure poetry: "I train all year for moments like this. Let me pitch." I did, and he got the DP to end the game on the next throw.
Anyways, thanks for reading along. The big question for me now: What do I do with this dynasty going forward? It was meant to be my summer fling - a sprint of a season (54 games + playoffs), played out in real time to take me into football. Do I table it until spring 2026 for another run, advance to 2026 now or just retire it altogether? Time will tell. Have one more series to go try and win
