***The Official OOTP Thread***

[WaitTilNextYear]

An interesting exchange from OOTP forums that I thought might be relevant to the contract demands we've been seeing...

So, in other words don't rule someone out based on the sticker price and negotiate harder than you've ever negotiated before! lol


Also, they are releasing a patch (hopefully on Wed.) that has some stuff in it that was literally asked for just a few days ago. The responsiveness of this OOTP dev team is nothing short of historic.

Patch notes from the man himself:

A pretty sizeable patch already? Wow, that is incredible. Looks like their support game is on point. Take my money please!

Yeah, these negotiations are actually pretty fun. Being on a shoe string budget I found out in practice that these are in fact negotiations, players are always going ask for the moon, as long as you don't literally insult them (to the point they say shove off) there will be a back and forth. From everyone to the highest priced free agents to the depth guys you only want on minor league deals to fill out AAA with emergency players.

How many leagues do you guys add to the start of your game? Am I missing much if I just add 2 or 3?

Additional immersion is all. Some connections to where international players come from.
