This will affect how you trade throughout your league, or even how you view players. In the past, these settings were more static, and based on the owner. These new settings will drive how these general managers set about their work, from setting their draft strategies, to how they set their budgets. Each GM now has approximately a dozen new ratings, which will create individual personalities across the league. The shifting within OOTP does not end at the baselines. Will you be as adept as the Pittsburgh Pirates of the past few years? Or will you not abide by the analytics, and eventually end up as an American League base coach? Don’t believe for a second that this is purely cosmetic the defensive engine has been revamped, taking into account just how you position your fielders. In 3D mode, you will actually see this at work. For someone who is a pull hitter, though not as extreme, you can lessen the shift. So, if David Ortiz is up, you can create a heavy shift. You can actually decide just how far to move your fielders. When playing out a game, there are many new shift options. There has also been a lot of shifting within the game, figuratively, and somewhat literally. Otherwise, it will be that much harder to have a successful time. However, you can see just how much more scouting and judgment you have to invest in the time leading up to the draft.

Trading: The AI here has been upgraded to support the new trade needs feature a better balance the quantity of trades during the year.Ī big change comes in scouting, one rooted in common sense. Rosters: Promotions and demotions are handled more realistically (i.e., age has a bigger role) the offseason now has fewer roster moves than before better handling of the 40-man roster. In-Game: Pinch-hitting and pitching changes have been adjusted. Player Evaluation: The way players are valued by the AI has been improved. I asked them what areas they looked at this year. This is always a yearly battle, to find balance and please casual gamers with the hardcores, the fictional, and the historical cranks.įor this year’s version, Markus and Matt (no, NOT M&M) focused on many things. One of those, of course, is the game’s artificial intelligence. This year’s version of Out of the Park Baseball has several additions and changes. It also means I get to write one of my favorite pieces of my year: The 2016 Season, According to Out of the Park Spring Training also means another tradition: the impending release of Out of the Park Baseball.
