Does the version in your app match the version in this screenshot?

Will, I think he's using an Android device.

The version and export should be the same regardless of the device

I like that idea, added to my list!

Will,
I downloaded last night but haven’t had a chance to dive into it yet. But every year the release date for this game is one of my favorite days of the year - it’s like Christmas in April. I will find things that I wish were a little different with every version, but for the time I spend on the game, the convenience of being able to take it on the go, and the depth and detail of the experience, this is the best ten bucks I spend every single year (I rebuy the historical seasons every year to support you guys, so it’s the best 30 bucks too).

I just want to say thank you for putting your time and expertise into this game every year, brother. I’m not sure you hear it enough. I’ll buy this game every year for the rest of my life if you continue to put it out. Thanks again.

Does the app offer real-time sim so that I could monitor the progress of a game without actively managing it? It's one of my favorite features of OOTP that has been missing from previous versions of the mobile app.

Thank you for putting this on the list. Hope it will be implemented soon, it has sorely been needed for a long time.

A couple questions:

- How do you get it to generate free agents? For a quick test I created a historical league, and while playing a player was injured for 4 months. I went to look for a free agent and there were none. I see the options in the league settings that look like they default to none, but setting them to default, and moving forward, or creating a new game and once in the game setting them to default does not result in there being any players.

- Where are the Front Office personnel located in the game? I couldn't find a way to get to them. Apparently they exist, because the game mentioned something about them, but I didn't see a way to get to it when you go to Front Office.

- Is there a way to use filters when looking at players?

I don’t think front office personnel are available in this version of the game. I was looking for them too but gave up in the end. I seem to remember something being written about this but can’t find it anywhere.

Thanks for the kind words <3 I take a lot of joy from being able to create something people enjoy, and hearing from you and everyone in the community always makes me smile

I don't believe we have included this most likely due to the stress it would put on the device. Some items we probably won't ever be able to add to Go because of the limitations of the device's memory and overheating and things of that nature unfortunately

I don't believe there is a setting to create free agents. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's not on mobile.

Personnel aren't enabled in Go. The game will talk about them but they can't be actively managed (i.e. the roles will be handled by the AI)

Depends what screen you are on. For example being on the Active Roster screen you can filter by position. You can also change what is displayed in the player list by using the View menu, then tap on the column to order it

Are there no free agents in the mobile game? I'm trying to figure out what I should do in a situation where a player gets injured for 4 months, and I need a replacement of some kind to take their place on the active roster.

There are; go to the MLB dropdown > Transaction > Free Agents tab

When I create a historical game, 1929 in this case, and I go look at that tab it is empty. I auto-played up to the first game of the season.

I tried with a custom historical game as well.

This might be due to the way the historical game works, or could be related to a bug we are having with historical data. If you still have this issue after the first patch please let me know

I could not import seasons from last year so I just bought them all again. I followed instructions, so on so forth but just said ....nevermind. I figured yall could use the extra $$$

Hey, team!
So, I already left a review on the play store expressing my gratitude, but thought I'd pop in here as well ... also because I have more than just general feedback!
I got hooked on this game by chance in 2022 but only by watching other gamers play it online. When you made ootp go '24 free to play I was absolutely overjoyed and have played that hundreds of hours since. And have enjoyed it so much that I thought I'd make my first ever app purchase in the decade I've owned a smartphone. So congrats on that! Though, 4 days in and I'm already worried the biggest reason for taking the plunge and upgrading to '26 (scouting) is going to be too much to handle. But at least I can turn it off if I want to.
ANYWAY, I have a question/suggestion about the layout on the stats tab of any player. Between batting, pitching, and fielding stats, in '24 I could rename and reorder the individual pages in the drop-down selection. However, '26 doesn't have that. It was extremely useful to me and I hope that customization will be made available soon in a future update.
Theoretically it wouldn't even have to be done in the same fashion as it was in '24. You could theoretically have each save file include/"remember" the last tab open for each stat tab individually (batting, pitching, fielding) instead of just the last tab accessed (ie, if I last looked at the 3rd stat category in the fielding tab, the next time I opened any individual player stat page it would always open the 3rd stat category page) Unfortunately for my tastes, the most relevant stat page isn't the same between those 3 stat tabs.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, other than that, I'm so excited to have finally found the GM games genre especially for baseball. I was a strat-o-matic nerd in my childhood, but ootp is so much more involved, it's amazing. Thanks!
