AI Recap Generator
Has anyone ever inserted a box score or season recap page from OOTP into CHAT GPT (or other AI engines) and ask it to write a "fan page article"... you are completely missing out!! I highly recommend because it adds a completely new level of flair to the end of games or seasons.
Wish OOTP could somehow integrate this more into the game and even list the season results out in text form instead of calendar view. This way I can copy and paste more information into CHAT GPT and see what it shows. Here is the recap of a game from the Miami Marlins: Heartbreaker in Miami: Brewers Edge Fish, 6–5 Man, what a gut-punch. The Marlins were right there on Saturday night at LoanDepot Park, trading blows with one of the NL's best, and yet it slipped away in the seventh. Final: Brewers 6, Marlins 5. And honestly? It's a shame, because Fabian Lopez played out of his mind. The kid was everywhere— 3-for-4, a homer, two runs scored, two driven in— basically carrying the offense on his back. That second-inning bomb into the left-field seats? Place went nuts. For a moment, it felt like this was going to be our night. The Bright Spots 🌟 Lopez, Lopez, Lopez. Give the man some love. Not only did he rake, he looked confident and in control at the plate. That's star stuff right there. Seth Parker doubled and crossed home twice. He just keeps producing in the middle of the lineup. Cristian Pache came through with that clutch two-run double in the sixth. For a split second, we had momentum. The bats weren't the problem — we matched Milwaukee with 12 hits. It was about finishing, and, well… The Turning Point 😬 Here's where it hurts: top of the seventh, tie game, bases loaded. Edgar Quero steps up for Milwaukee and bloops in the back-breaker — a two-run single that gave the Brewers the lead for good. You could almost hear the collective groan from every Marlins fan in the building. Our bullpen? Man, it's been a rollercoaster. Wilmer Gonzalez didn't have it (two bombs in the second inning alone), but the pen kept us in it — until Brandon Kent came in and couldn’t close the door. Tough night for him. The Bigger Picture We’re sitting at 60–56. That’s… fine. But “fine” isn’t getting you October baseball. The frustrating thing is we can see the pieces: young talent like Lopez shining, guys like Parker and Pache grinding out at-bats, the speed on the bases. It’s there. But we need those big outs late, and we’re just not getting them right now. Fan Takeaway 💭 Even with the L, you can’t ignore the positives. Fabian Lopez looks like he’s ready to be a cornerstone. The team fought tooth and nail with a 69–47 Milwaukee squad that’s built for a playoff run. It wasn’t like we rolled over. Still, you walk out of the park after a game like that, and it stings. These are the ones we have to steal if we’re serious about making noise. But hey — tomorrow’s a new day. And as long as Lopez keeps swinging like this? You better believe I’ll be back in my seat, cheering until the last out. |

It's a hoot. Take a 1901 game and ask for it in newspaper style of the time. Feed standings and stats into it at regular intervals for the full season review and pennant chase narrative. Yeah, it is great. I think the easiest thing for OOTP to do would be to create ready-to-be-fed-to-AI outputs/reports. No cost except a few clear reports generated and saved at regular intervals. Everything from preseason predictions to player pages of that year's award and HOF elections. The hot stove edition you might want could grab the txt files or csv files of the signings, AAVs, etc.
It's too much to expect AI in the game doing this but the interim step would be to generate the easy to find and grab outputs that would let folks build anything from newspaper articles, to more complete yearly recaps to podcasts. Then the user goes and gets the reports, drops them in to GPT and instructs the AI as to the deliverable.

This, this, this! Obviously incorporating a GPT-like AI into OOTP is impossible in the foreseeable future, but anything they could do to make this process easier... I mean, those of you who don't do this, you have no idea how immersive it can get. GPT does a great job with the stuff I feed it. Preseason preview articles, standard game articles, controversies, trade rumors, player features, playoff preview articles where GPT makes a prediction! It's so cool and adds SO much to the OOTP experience.

I find it amazing how I can put a boxscore into AI and ask it to write an article about the game, and it pulls out all this information directly from the boxscore and statistics. Not sure how it knows how to read boxscores, but it is pretty cool... I am thinking about having the AI write a recap for each game in a season, and then insert all the recaps into AI at once and ask it to write a season review. Wonder what it would churn out...

Wilfredo Lara: Miami Marlins’ Third Base Dynamo Lighting Up the Diamond Marlins fans, if you haven’t been paying attention, it’s time to sit up and take notice—Wilfredo Lara is not just a player; he’s a phenomenon. Since Miami snagged him from the Mets in 2024 for RHP Huascar Brazoban, Lara has exploded into one of the most electrifying forces on the diamond. From day one, Lara’s journey has been a story of grit, talent, and sheer determination. Early rehab stints and minor injuries couldn’t slow him down, as he tore it up with the Beloit Sky Carp, helping them clinch Midwest League Round 2 titles in both 2025 and 2026. He didn’t just shine in the minors—he dominated, racking up awards in the International League, including the coveted Glove Wizard and Platinum Stick honors at third base. Then came 2029—the year Miami fans got a glimpse of magic. In just 105 games, Lara hit .307 with 20 homers, 70 RBIs, and an OPS of .899. That stellar rookie season didn’t go unnoticed, earning him NL Rookie of the Year and a jaw-dropping 4.4 WAR. He wasn’t just a rookie; he was a statement: the Marlins had a star on their hands. Lara’s momentum never slowed. In 2030, he tallied 20 homers and 86 RBIs across 155 games, showcasing consistency at the plate. By 2031, he was back on top, slashing .292/.366/.492 with 19 homers and 69 RBIs—earning his second All-Star nod and proving he could carry the team through thick and thin. Even a shoulder injury in late 2031 couldn’t keep him down for long, and he came roaring back to claim the MLB NL Platinum Stick Award at third base. Through four MLB seasons, Lara has compiled a career .274 batting average, 69 homers, 255 RBIs, and 444 hits, along with a .811 OPS and 13.4 WAR. His blend of power, plate discipline, and elite defense makes him a nightmare for opponents and a dream for Marlins fans. For the fans at LoanDepot Park, every at-bat is a thrill. Every laser-shot double down the line or clutch home run is a reminder: Wilfredo Lara isn’t just building stats—he’s building a legacy. The Marlins have a cornerstone, a superstar, and a hometown hero-in-the-making, and for anyone cheering in teal and orange, the ride is just getting started. |

Like I am GM'ing the Blue Jays and I had a guy come out of my system that was a Toronto native, GPT went nuts with that when he finally got called up to the Jays. I've also found that GPT tends to remember little things and factoids about my team the more articles I have it write about them. It will just drop things from the past into current articles now and then. |

I used chatgpt to write some season in review type reports.
Might organize what info i should feed it. I would do post season, all star games or when something i considered important happening but not for every game. Though it would be nice to have it within the game. Would that be ai writing for ai? |

Wow, I just tried this for the first time and I am very impressed. I'm sure as I get the hang of things (the right key word prompts, info, etc) it will be even better. For my test, I used only the following box score snapshot and the following prompt ("write news recap of baseball game in 2024 season"). This is what it gave me:
Red Sox Rally Late to Top Diamondbacks 8-6 Boston, MA – The Boston Red Sox mounted a thrilling late-inning comeback to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-6 on Sunday, improving their record to 71-58 in the 2024 season. Trailing 6-2 entering the bottom of the 6th, Boston’s offense came alive with a five-run outburst, capped by clutch hits and sharp baserunning. The Red Sox added an insurance run in the 7th, sealing the comeback win in front of a raucous Fenway crowd. Arizona jumped out early, scoring four runs in the 1st inning and two more in the 4th, powered by home runs from Jordan Lawlar and Alek Thomas, both hitting their 18th of the season. The Diamondbacks held a 6-2 lead through six innings, but their bullpen faltered late. Anthony Gose (1-0) earned the win in relief for Boston, working out of a key jam in the 7th. Liam Hendriks locked down his 29th save with a clean 9th inning. Arizona’s Merrill Kelly (10-12) took the loss after giving up the go-ahead runs in the bottom of the 7th. The game’s Player of the Game honors went to Marcelo Mayer, who led Boston's offensive charge with key hits and consistent defense. With the win, Boston stays in the thick of the AL playoff race, while Arizona slips to 66-64 as they fight for a Wild Card spot in the National League. Boston looks to carry this momentum into their next series as the playoff push heats up. Final Score: Red Sox 8, Diamondbacks 6 Winning Pitcher: Anthony Gose (1-0) Losing Pitcher: Merrill Kelly (10-12) Save: Liam Hendriks (29) Home Runs: AZ – Lawlar (18), Thomas (18) Player of the Game: Marcelo Mayer

Like I said, it's a hoot and the game should generate outputs designed to be fed into it. In settings, select if it generates the reports daily, weekly, monthly, annually. Reports oriented for game summaries or just preseason and waypoint dates in-season and then end-of-year for annual review/summaries. Rosters with key info on the team, prospects, trade block, needs, etc. ideas for FA and trade targets to improve the team. Create them with all the info together for dropping in. Have a setting to dump the feeder files at 1 Jan so it keeps size down in the save. Heck feed it into that google podcast thing once people figure out how to customize it for Mel Allen's voice. It's coming because, man, is the space moving fast...

I discovered this a few months ago. It's a blast! You can prompt ChatGPT to write like a "hometown homer who lives and dies by every pitch" or like someone from the Old West, like a generic AP recap, etc. Give it all the background, feed it box scores, history, whatever and it does pretty well.
I have played games with ChatGPT as my bench coach and asked for advice in high-stakes scenarios. I have done drafts with Chat as my assistant general manager. It does enhance the experience quite a bit. Got me thinking that this would be a great next step with the coaching system in the game. Would love to have a "conversation" with my bench coach when playing out games instead of just seeing them check strategies ("Do I bunt here" "Hell no, swing away. It's our clean up guy!"). The coaches could have personalities that come through. Same with drafts or personnel moves - more interactions with my coaches. That would be a lot to add to the game engine but AI has definitely spoiled me...

Just for the fun of it... an article following Tim Keefe retirement in my simulation :-)
TIM KEEFE: THE PROFESSOR OF CONTROL AND COMMAND When the dust settled on the diamond and the murmurs of another long summer faded into memory, baseball found itself saying farewell to one of its true craftsmen. For fourteen seasons, Tim Keefe stood as the embodiment of pitching excellence — a man whose intellect, precision, and endurance defined an age. From Troy’s Beginnings to New York’s New Star Tim Keefe’s major-league journey began in 1880 with the Troy Trojans, a small-market club that nevertheless introduced the baseball world to one of its future greats. Even as a rookie, Keefe’s command and poise were evident — a 1.64 ERA across 115 innings, third-best in the league, hinted at greatness. After two more steady seasons in Troy, Keefe’s career — and baseball’s balance of power — shifted dramatically in 1883 when he joined the New York Metropolitans of the American Association. There, under the guidance of manager Jim Mutrie, Keefe blossomed into a phenomenon. Dominance with the Metropolitans (1883–1884) In his first season in the big city, Keefe became a sensation. With a 48–20 record and an almost unreal 1.36 ERA, he led the Metropolitans to respectability and claimed his first Pitcher of the Year Award. His pinpoint control, deceptive delivery, and unflappable demeanor set him apart in an era dominated by brute endurance. If 1883 was his breakthrough, 1884 was his masterpiece. Keefe went 47–12 with a 1.50 ERA, striking out 393 batters in 541 innings. He was second only to Old Hoss Radbourn in victories, but every bit his equal in dominance. The Metropolitans captured the American Association pennant, and Keefe’s postseason brilliance — including a 0.98 ERA in three games — underscored his mastery of the moment. In just two years with the Metropolitans, Keefe won 95 games, threw over 1,100 innings, and established himself as the finest pitcher in New York City — no small claim in an age bursting with talent. The Giants Era: A Champion and an Institution When the Metropolitans folded, Mutrie and Keefe crossed over to the New York Giants of the National League, forming the core of one of baseball’s first dynasties. Between 1885 and 1889, Keefe went 190–70, blending finesse and ferocity in perfect measure. His 1887 and 1888 campaigns rank among the finest ever recorded: 1887: 38–14, 1.87 ERA, 13.3 WAR 1888: 44–8, 1.23 ERA, 422 strikeouts, 0.75 WHIP, 19.7 WAR He led the Giants to back-to-back pennants, winning his third and fourth Pitcher of the Year Awards, and cementing his reputation as the era’s most cerebral hurler. Where Clarkson relied on guile and Rusie on sheer power, Keefe combined both — a master tactician who dismantled hitters one thought at a time. A Model of Consistency and Command Over his career, Keefe was a constant at the top of the leaderboards — a marvel of durability and excellence: Career Wins: 383 (#1 all-time) Strikeouts: 2,869 (#1 all-time) Shutouts: 53 (#1 all-time) Complete Games: 496 (#2 all-time) WAR: 110.9 (#1 all-time) Career ERA: 2.31 (ERA+ 144) He threw more than 5,100 innings, completed 496 of his 563 starts, and maintained a WHIP of 1.02 across fourteen seasons. His career WAR total — more than 110 — dwarfs even the finest of his contemporaries. From 1883 through 1888, Keefe averaged 40 wins, 470 innings, and a 1.82 ERA per season — an unmatched six-year run of dominance that spanned both leagues. Composed, Cerebral, and Commanding They called him “Sir Timothy.” Teammates and foes alike admired his calm professionalism. He rarely argued with umpires or grandstanded for applause. His strength was in his mind — his ability to outthink, outlast, and outpitch opponents who often left the batter’s box muttering about invisible movement and impossible control. He was the game’s first great technician, the pitcher who elevated the craft from endurance to intelligence. Final Chapters and Lasting Legacy By the early 1890s, as rules changed and distances lengthened, Keefe remained formidable. In 1892, at age 35, he went 27–11 with a 1.77 ERA for Philadelphia, proving that his precision transcended eras. When he finally laid down his glove after 1893, baseball had changed — but not as much as it had changed because of him. His postseason record — 2.28 ERA in 13 starts — reflects the same steadiness that marked his entire career. He never backed down from a challenge, and he never lost his composure when everything was on the line. Epilogue: The Professor of the Pitcher’s Art Tim Keefe’s career spanned the transformation of baseball from a rough regional pastime to a true national sport. He won in both leagues, in two different eras, and against the finest hitters of the 19th century. For all his records, his greatest contribution may be intellectual — the idea that pitching could be art, that guile could triumph over brute force. When historians recall the age of Clarkson, Galvin, and Radbourn, one name stands apart — not just for what he achieved, but for how he achieved it. Calm. Calculated. Commanding. Tim Keefe: 383 wins, 2.31 ERA, 2,869 strikeouts, 53 shutouts, four Pitcher of the Year Awards — and an enduring legacy as the first true professor of pitching.

Want to thank all who posted here for ideas - I had a remarkable game and gave Copilot game log to use in writing recap newspaper style:
🏟️ **23-Inning Epic Ends in Sacramento Triumph** In a marathon showdown that stretched deep into the Texas night, the Sacramento Prayers outlasted the Fort Worth Spirits 7–6 in a 23-inning thriller at Spirits Grounds. The game, which lasted over seven hours, featured 36 combined hits, 15 pitchers, and a walk-off moment that never came—for the home team, at least. ### ⚾ Game Summary Sacramento struck early with a two-run blast from H. Iniguez in the first inning, but Fort Worth clawed back with solo runs in the 1st, 5th, 7th, and 8th. The Prayers and Spirits traded blows again in the 11th, with Chris James launching a two-run homer for Sacramento and Jake Seifert answering with his second long ball of the night for Fort Worth. From there, the bullpens took over, locking down 11 consecutive scoreless innings until the top of the 23rd. Eli Murguia led off with a double, and Chris James delivered the decisive RBI single—his third hit of the game—to give Sacramento the edge. Jack Schlosser earned the win with 4.1 innings of scoreless relief, while Marty Lupold took the loss after surrendering the game-winning run. ### 🔥 Standout Performers - **Chris James (SAC)**: 3-for-9, HR, 3 RBI, including the game-winner in the 23rd. - **Jake Seifert (FW)**: 3-for-9, 2 HR, 4 RBI — named Player of the Game despite the loss. - **Alfie Gibbs (FW)**: 5 hits in 10 at-bats, tying a franchise record for hits in an extra-inning game. - **Eli Murguia (SAC)**: Set a team record with 10 at-bats, collecting 2 hits and scoring twice. ### 🧤 Defensive Highlights - Sacramento’s Murguia gunned down two runners from left field, including a critical out at home. - Fort Worth’s outfield returned the favor, with Coronado and Gonzales each throwing out runners to keep the game tied. ### 📊 By the Numbers | Team | R | H | E | LOB | |--------------------|---|----|---|-----| | Sacramento Prayers | 7 | 15 | 0 | 11 | | Fort Worth Spirits | 6 | 21 | 0 | 21 | - Combined: 163 plate appearances, 22 runners left in scoring position with 2 outs. - Sacramento used 6 pitchers; Fort Worth used 7. - Attendance: 13,255 fans witnessed history. ### 🗣️ Postgame Quote > "The game is never over 'til it's over," said Sacramento manager Jimmy Aces, beaming after the win. With the victory, Sacramento improves to 12–9 and inches closer to playoff contention. Fort Worth falls to 10–11, despite a valiant effort in one of the longest games in league history.

His career stats, his yearly leaderboard position, his positions in the career leaderboard and the awards he won. Notice that I discuss my simulation a lot with ChatGPT so it have many facts saved in its memory.
