Several times early in my franchise, the owner could not recognize the fact that I had completed an assigned task: One of several glitches. Ratings filters don’t seem to work in the Find a Player section (a great new addition, if it actually worked for me…).Īnd more than that, the new owner goals feature had serious signs of inconsistency. There’s a lot of little things that impede my enjoyment of the game - problems that didn’t exist before. Of course the interface seems easy to me I’ve been playing OOTP for a half decade. I’m giving gameplay and interface a perfect score, but a big part of me wishes I could experience it all over with rookie eyes. Saves a few clicks for all the top draft picks. Lots of tiny things like: This is a nifty little added feature. The interface hasn’t changed much in OOTP 16, but there have been a few minor tweaks that I think show the developers’ really care about user feedback. This kind of stuff actually incentivizes earner a higher income. Or perhaps players could spend money on special camps that have a chance to boost a few players’ rating in special areas (“Send to the Barry Bonds Hitter Clinic? Grants 10% chance for increase in either Power or Eye rating. Perhaps players could spend on charitable enterprises and improve their reputation - thereby unlocking more prestigious managers and executives.

What if the game took a page from the NBA 2K video game series and made those salaries worth something? Perhaps players could spend their salary on negotiation classes, improving insight and success rates during trade or salary negotiations. It would be interesting, however, so see an arcade mode - hear me out! The latest changes to OOTP have created a system where the player (you, sir or madam) are given a salary and contract based upon your reputation and recent success. So having a single player GM/coach mode and a multiplayer GM/coach mode is probably sufficient to please 90% of fans. The database and formulas that serve as the foundation for this game would not be at their best in a “Path to the Majors” or a work-your-way-to-the-top game mode. OOTP does a nice job of not stretching itself thin with game modes. So we end up with this: I had no idea Brett Gardner looks like a 45-year-old tax accountant from New Jersey! But I can’t find it among the add-ons now. It’s not really a problem, per se - more of a “Where’d it go?” The old versions of OOTP had this realistic face generator. The only 3D component of the game - an optional view for the in-game management - leaves a lot of a room for improvements. Let’s face it you’re not going to play OOTP for the graphics.
But overall, it’s another excellent submission to the OOTP franchise. But the game does have some flaws, and I will address those. And it’s hard to critique something you’re hooked on. That said, I’m trying to review this latest edition as critically as possible.
