As someone that was in your shoes a few years ago, RUN! (Kidding, it’s a fun game and there’s lots of good OOTP RU-vidrs. I highly recommend pfholden’s and Sporer’s playthroughs.)
highly recommend oldschoolsports, his buffalo series from last year was the best ootp series on youtube by far imo. currently he's trying to turn the A's around as well.
You’ve had a favors ability scout the whole time! No wonder people’s performances are sporadic. Favors ability scouts evaluate based on stats and favors tools evaluate based on their actual evals of the player’s talent. It’s either a 0:100 25:75 50:50 etc split depending on if they highly favor, favor, or are neutral.
@@redrangers12330 essentially it’s highly biased by their pre-MLB numbers and just adjusts from there. His favors ability scout is factoring in 25% of his actual eval on the player and 75% of their stats. A highly favors tools scout would focus 100% on the eval and 0% on the stats.
Fun fact, i grew up with Joshua Mears in Federal Way, played against him in Little League. I also struck him out and I haven't thrown a pitch since high school
I watched all of these and it's been quite fun. I'd say though your trades are questionable and you overemphasize acquiring bullpen pieces. Also, is there a way to change out coaches or organizational hitting philosophies? Your hitters consistently underperform, has to be another issue involved.
Favors ability and favors tools will get you different types of prospects. Favors ability will land you more league-average-level players, while favors tools will get you more players who look like superstars, but more of them will fail to pan out as well. So it's a trade-off. Get favors tools if you need a face of the franchise (this is you right now), get favors ability if you have superstars and need to fill out your roster. You should try to get "highly favors" as well, it's just better.
I think the problem is he is platooning half his team. Each guy switches places in the lineup depending on if they are facing a RHP or LHP. That can’t be helpful for the players who are trying to get in a groove
bailey since ur stagnating, iveplayed 40hrs of ootp25. heres some tips, please upvote so he sees 1) max out dev budget 2) use 20-80 scale 3) only rely on contact, power, eye. Avoid everything else, like babip avoid Ks are all sub components. Power > contact > eye. ignore stars they arent accurate at all 4) for pitchers, priroitize control and movement.
FOOLISH, love the series so far, I have one question though. how do you customize the view of your players to see personality traits in the bottom right? My game only gives me a little blurb instead of saying high work ethic or what not.
Hey there FB! Love the content and I’m glad you’re posting OOTP again. Have you ever considered making a Cy Seymour video on your main channel? I just discovered this guy and he’s gotta be in the HOFu (Hall of Funny).
I'm not sure why you're limiting yourself on doing trades? You're already starting with a really tough team to turn around, I don't think you need to make it any harder on yourself 😅
Why not develop a guy to be better a centre I don't understand. I know I'm a noob but you can increase positional familiarity by playing them at a position and 50 doesn't seem bad but I use 0-100 because it's a video game I want the most specific numbers so not sure what 50 is in 0-100 but it can't be that bad.
Just so you know, the surname Ullola is usually pronounced "oo-ZHO-la" because the name is of Spanish/Argentinian origin and the double L is turned into a "zh" or soft J sound. Nothing like a sport sim to give you names you've never had to pronounce before so I might even be wrong, but it's usually done the way I shared :)
Bailey saying he's bad at the game when in reality it's just showing that John Fischer is a terrible owner that will never win as long as he owns the team
