We're going off in a different direction for our long-term OOTP 24 playthrough! Instead of taking over an existing team, we're going to start off with an expansion franchise in Buffalo, New York. But we're not ready to play major league baseball just yet... we've got three years to try to build a respectable farm system before the Buffalo Wings will begin play in 2026!

Jake Gelof has a special place in my heart. In my long term rockies save, he ended up hitting close to 700 hr and was elected to the hall of fame!

Interesting, I may have to try to track him down in a trade if he looks good in this world!

I have been pretty fortunate with high school pitchers in my OOTP 24 franchises. In past games, I mostly drafted bats or college pitchers.

@senomore_5608 Год назад

I know you have have made videos before about how you manage your minor league rosters, I would really enjoy a full demonstration how you do it from beginning to end. I can understand how that might be boring for some but that’s my favourite part of Ootp.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

@MrMpwood12 Год назад

Love the idea of gradually building up the farm system first. To be honest though I’ve found expansions to be easier in previous games you’re basically starting the game with a clean slate in terms of payroll, plus you can usually build an elite bullpen through the expansion draft since teams don’t prioritize protecting them.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

Yeah, that is a good point, there is definitely lots of value in not having any bad contracts to deal with!

@Pep8691 Год назад

I have been waiting for the start of the long term play through. I couldn't keep up to the the Reds one as much as I enjoyed it.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

I has a pretty good cadence there going with the Reds for a while, with the weather being better now probably won’t be pumping out as much Buffalo content, so hopefully it won’t get overwhelming… thanks for whatever you can watch!

Interrested in how the AI controlled Nashville doing. Never tested expansion in all my 12-15 years with this game, but as I understood when the game itself automatic makes an expansion this is not the process. This looks more realistic with building from the bottom in a 2-3 years spann with MILB teams entering and actually playing during those years. But can the AI handle this for Nashville. The auto-expansion as a selection I thought was just an immediate happening with all minor teams popping up the same year the big club enters. Then a slugfest for them to sign less talented FAs that floats around, after the big expansion draft been concluded. Looking forward to this, but do check out Nashville and how they are doing before both them and your Buffalo dips your feet in the big pond.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

The AI has been managing everything for Nashville as I have been building in Buffalo. Will make sure to check in on what they look like for you in Episode 5. Thanks for watching!

I love the name. I love Buffalo Wings. The hotter, the better. I remember when I could get them for 25 cents each. Now they are as expensive as hell. Many people don't know this, but there has been a chicken wing shortage going on for a long time now. The mainstream media has been curiously silent about it. Now, with this bird flu going around, it has gotten completely out of hand. Those of us who enjoy this fine cuisine are being squeezed out economically. Our grievances are not being redressed. The government remains ambilivant. Violence appears to be inevitable. However, nothing I say should be construed as condoning it

Hi there love your channel. One question when players are unhappy with role on team, how do you go about improving that ? As well if their unhappy with transactions and performance ? Thanks

@thomasmorganjr4451 Год назад

Trying same project. Bet your A team was 12 GB to the A team of Sim lead Class A team of the other Future Expansion team. In my project, Sim signed every possible roster spot with MLB ready talent and where I tried to keep it real, Sim Stacked the deck. Signed full MLB Roster, and both the A and Dev League stocked. DSL team lost 5 games and the Carolina League A team only lost 17, all with MLB talent. not sure how to avoid this problem even in Commisioner mode. Although I did release a bunch back to FA at the All Star Break off the MLB Roster of the New Montreal Expos. Did not seam fair they were stockpiling all the FA Talent and not playing MLB games. Did you notice that? I will watch more episodes and see what you found.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

That's a good point, I did notice that but did not really comment on it anywhere. If I did this again, I might actually fill the minor league teams for the other expansion team myself as well so their composition was a little more realistic.

@thomasmorganjr4451 Год назад

@@oldschoolsports Your project sparked my project, and that will not work because I tried that. Sim is too intuitive. Kept churning those guys and polluting the FA pool with awful fictional guys several seasons before I wanted. The method I used was watching the rosters of Montreal and "abusing commish?" by releasing those who were MLB guys. I did not consider this abuse of power, only a kindly dictatorship. Season two is much more normal with me releasing the Single A MLB Talent.

I think Nashville already has guys like Dave Stewart and Don Mattingly on board for a potential bid down the line, and Manfred has said he'd like to get to 32 teams eventually. To your point, nothing has been announced yet, but if I was a betting man I'd follow the money and assume we'll have a couple more teams in the coming years!

You're wasting your money on player development this year. The only ones that would benefit from it are one minor league level and your amateur draftees, who will only get six weeks of playing time. Here, you would be best served by maxing out your scouting budget. This will help you on draft day and vastly improve the quality of your scouting discoveries. If you already have that maxed out and have a significant overflow in your draft budget, so you can snatch up a couple impossible to sign players if they are real standouts, then go ahead and put as much as you can in player development. You can't take it with you.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

Scouting is maxed out at $27 million… agree the development budget is not being most efficiently spent, but still had plenty leftover to sign everyone i was able to draft… like you said, I can’t take it with me!

I love doing Expansions too! But I hate to burst your bubble, you are doing this on a "False Truth". MLB Expansion teams DO NOT participate in the Amateur Draft until AFTER they have a MLB Team. In real life they build their Farm Systems through UDFA Players and International Discoveries. But No Drafting of Players. Sorry.

@oldschoolsports Год назад

That’s not accurate. I have admittedly enhanced what MLB did in the past by building my minor league system through the draft for three years prior to beginning MLB play, but the last two expansion teams in 1998 (Arizona and Tampa Bay) both participated in the 1996 and 1997 drafts. Arizona and Tampa Bay drafted Nick Bierbrodt and Paul Wilder, respectively, in the first round in 1996, followed by Jack Cust and Jason Standridge in the first round in 1997. Other players selected by Arizona and Tampa Bay in those two drafts before they started MLB play included Toby Hall, Alex Cintron, Heath Bell, Willie Harris, Brad Penny, and Dan Wheeler. Perhaps most famously, the Florida Marlins selected future All-Star and Gold Glove C Charles Johnson in the first round in 1992 even though they did not begin MLB play until 1993.
