Multiple questions from a new player
Hey all,
First let me say how much I'm enjoying this game. I briefly played OOTP 14, but never got into like I am attempting to do this year. Thus, as I've explored the game to further depths this year, I have a multitude of questions. 1. How do I (as the commissioner) set each teams focus? I don't remember what window it was that I saw (I think trade window) but some teams (like the Dodgers) are in rebuilding mode. Obviously this makes no sense, so I would like to correct this. Is there a way to set up each teams desire such as Win now, or rebuild? How does this focus impact teams and their trades? Does a rebuilding team hang on to all their prospects like in real life? 2. Trade logic: I'm having some issues with trade difficulty. If I put it on average with a focus on prospects, I can still fleece a team like it's no big thing, but if I put it on hard with balanced I can't even trade a 5 star free agent to be for a 2 star prospect. Just seems like there is no in between. Part of what I was really looking for in this game was a great trade logic system that surpasses most console games like MLB the Show. Hopefully some simple advice will alleviate these problems. Also, is there a way for me to have trades that teams will try to make pop up so I can veto them? That was I can correct any lopsided trades that would never likely happen in real life. 3. Knowing when to call up players: I wanted some advice on when I should call up players in my farm system. Sometimes they have the little green arrow, other times now. Obviously a green arrow seems to indicate they should be moved up. But what about a 5 star prospect hitting .288? Are they ready? What impact in the game is there to calling or sending down prospects at inappropriate times? 4. Steam: I purchased the game on steam and would like to know if I need to manually install the updates. Usually games update via steam but it looks like OOTP hasn't done so at this time. Also, I noticed a fair few transactions that weren't updated in the default rosters. Is their an updated roster I can find? Sorry for the slew of questions. I really want to put some serious time into the game, but it's incredibly difficult for a new player to understand just how deep the game goes, and how to accomplish everything. Hopefully this will help. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out as I greatly appreciate it. I wish you all well in your OOTP games! ![]() |
