OOTP25: SHOULD YOU BUY OUT OF THE PARK BASEBALL 25? 

As a Brewers fan who always plays as the team, this is a great year to make player development a focus for the game.

re: Dev Lab, the length also matters since there are only a limited number of 'slots' (default is 6). So if you do short programs early in the winter it gives you time to re-use that slot multiple times, as opposed to if you tie up the slot for the full few months.

"First impression is that player development is everything, and is a complete game-changer! On an unrelated note, my plan for the first OOTP stuff is historical exhibitions where there is no development whatsoever."

being able to directly influence the dev of your players is a huge addition. That alone makes it the best version in a while. Add a much better rating system as well. That being said if you're enjoying 24 you could wait to get it on sale. New OOTP versions are always iterations not reinventing it.

I’m looking forward to starting my save - thinking maybe Marlins for me this year. I’m a Giants fan but sometimes going your own team can be frustrating! 😂 There’s always only a few changes with each release which is understandable considering they aren’t a big studio. I would eventually like to see interaction with your players and media in future. There’s an opportunity to really open up a baseball world in game outside of just going from game to game all the time. This and FM are the only games I play on PC. I’m looking forward to seeing the new FM this year with the new engine - be interesting to see how they can progress the game.

I want to play the game as a player on the field

I’m really interested to see how much the passive development focuses will affect a player during a season, that’s going to fun to mess with.

The player development lab looks like a great feature, especially as a team builder who always builds through young players. I think though for 26 there really needs to be heavy emphasis on graphical and engine improvements. I believe this with FM as well. Both games are at the point where the only thing really holding the games back is presentation. This doesn't have to look like The Show, and FM doesn't have to look the EA FC, but I think there is a middle ground further towards that end of the bell curve these two franchises should be able to reach now. Especially FM.

"My beloved Mets, they always let me down"

Anybody else notice some weird stuff with ratings? Why do I have so many 40 overall relievers that can't throw under a 5 ERA in rookie ball? Also have seen a couple instances with the game saying a pitcher's "stuff" rating went down but it didn't and it almost seemed like it was calling stamina stuff. Latest patch seemed like it fixed it but yesterday it was saying my closer's stuff went from 30 to 25 on his scouting page but the guy has 70 stuff. Also the international scouting finds are turned WAY up. Of course most still never pan out but it seems like my scout was finding 40 potential guys like every week. I had to manually remove players from the international complex for the first time because it was full.

If i have ootp baseball 24, is it even worth getting 25

what was that first thing you said? it was so fast.

Is it online multiplayer and how does that look and work ?

THIS GUYS NEED IMPROVE PLAYERS IN 3D
