OOTP 25 Discussion

[LegendKillerOne]

I keep going back and forth on whether to get the new version

Can someone break down some of the biggest improvements to 25?

Also do must of you do challenge mode?

Can anyone recommend a tutorial or a beginners guide to this game on YT or Reddit or even on here. I’ve been wanting to play this game for a while I bought it during the pandemic when I was home bored and never played or bother to learn.

I’m an avid baseball fan and mainly play the show franchise mode with true sim rosters from these forums. So I know the sport but these simulator type games appear really daunting and scary to go in blind lol.

Much appreciated!

Best YTers for OOTP are https://www.youtube.com/@pfholden and https://www.youtube.com/@oldschoolsports. Both have videos covering the basics, settings, etc. while also doing short-term and long-term saves.

Here are all the updates/changes brought to OOTP 25: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing. The biggest features in my opinion are the reworked ratings system (much better now), player development lab to give you more control, licensed two new international leagues (GB and Netherlands), fixed a lot of the issues with historical saves, and a few more minor things. There's also a new Drive to the Pennant mode, but it's not available yet. I can't speak to any PT updates because I do not play that mode.

Anyone having this issue or maybe its a setting I need to change

When I am playing the game, I do not do pitch by pitch I just hit the swing away button. But then the count shows up and either an out lights up, a run shows on the board, or shows a runner on base before the pitch is thrown, I already know what the outcome will be before the ball floats onto the field

I've been seeing this too. Not every play, but it happens a few times each game. Definitely seems to be a bug. I noticed it more since the last patch.

I've read a few people mention this in the OOTP forums as well. I play the game like Billy Beane, I just GM the hell out of my team every day then look away when they play games.

So I take it there is no way to remove that part of the scoreboard in the game?
