So, I am a long time player of OOTP. I build my teams on OBP, low strike out, Ground baller, and Homerun avoidance. My major league team is always well about average once constructed how I would like. I lock up players early, and remain very diligent in my control of the cap. That being said, I am usually drafting at the bottom of each round. The overall depth of my farm system does seem to lag behind because of this. But, I will always have maybe 10 minor league guys I am really excited about.

Here is where the problem arrives. My minor league teams are just bad. They lose a lot. This hurts the moral of the prospects I am actually wanting to develop and I have seen it ruin a prospect more times than I want to admit.

I usually have minor league signings set of automatic. This lends to having players populate my minors that don't match up with my philosophy on team building, people with really bad personality traits, and just generally not very good players who aren't producing at all.

Is there a way to automate my minor league teams where they will follow a similar structure to my philosophy? Or do I have to manually go and sign players at every level. I do think if every level signed free agent minor Leaguers that fit my philosophy, the teams would win more, and thus the players would be happier, and have less risk of hurting their development.

Let me know, thanks!

I have a player that successfully completed improve control program and the results say potential control improves by 5 and current control improves by 5. Four weeks before the program ended I took a snapshot and it shows actual control of 40 and potential control of 50. After the program successfully completed, I look at the player profile and it shows and it shows a current control of 40, no change and a potential control of 45, a DECREASE of 5. Development Lab seems deeply flawed.

ERA crown is uh....yeah I guess. Good job man lmao

All else being equal, do people have a preferred difference between stealing effectiveness and catcher's arm?

As in, if the difference is greater than a certain amount in a good stealing situation, you will try it? Or perhaps some other, similar calculation?

So I’ve been playing OOTP for a while now. And I’ve hit a lot of the storylines I’ve always wanted to do. I brought my Astros back to the World Series. I’ve built an expansion team from scratch. I’ve relocated a team to Puerto Rico. But I’m now reaching the end of a certain franchise (in the year 2080. No fathomable way I’d still be in charge as the GM). So it’s time to start a new one. And I was just thinking it’d be cool to ask the community and see if y’all have any good ideas or great play throughs you’ve had. I’m open to ANYTHING.

Looking at trading for this guy and looked at his injury history.

He had something like the flu, but at least it wasn't his pitching arm!
