Out of the Park Baseball 18 News

Hey folks!

We have decided to release a small maintenance patch for OOTP, bringing the version to 18.7.74.

Here is the changelist compared to version 18.7.72:
- Fixed issues with gmae log uploading in online leagues
- Fixed problems with auto-importing historical ballparks
- Fixed AI promoting international complex players on human teams

Cheers & have a good weekend!
Markus

Update: The new build 18.7.72 is now available! It fixes an error with award icons missing from player profiles in new MLB standard games.

Hey folks!

Unfortunately, the last update introduced a few bugs which we could not tolerate, so we have decided to release a hotfix, version 18.7.72. Hopefully this is now the final final patch for OOTP 18. :)

Here is the changelist compared to version 18.7.69:
-Fixed error when generating history reports for some leagues
-Fixed case where a reliever may pinch hit for the wrong team
-Fixed roster violation warning when exporting team in an online league with no age limits
-Fixed players with an extension showing an opt-out in player salaries report
-Fixed display issue for certain batting stats (ie. BABIP and others) in player lists
-Misc other bug fixes

Cheers!

Hey folks!

We have worked hard the past few weeks to wrap up development of OOTP 18. The result is the final patch, version number 18.7.69. It contains plenty of bug-fixes and improvements!

Here is the changelist:

- Updated Opening Day roster sets with tweaked player ratings (need to create a new game for changes to apply)
- Improved in-game AI
- Can now drag and set player labels in 3D view with right mouse button
- Updated historical minor league databases
- Added as-played lineups for the 1910-1913 seasons
- Tweaked draft pool age when the reveal date is early in the season
- Tweaked number of college pitchers generated for draft pool, there were too few.
- Updated owner goals and text for leagues with playoffs disabled
- Fixed tiebreaker for default draft order
- Updated select nation dialog for player origins
- Added ability for nations to auto-assign 2nd nationalities. (must re-import world to get default update)
- Added 2nd nationality to player lists
- Fixed various issues with rule 5 eligibility
- Slightly reduced injury frequency during spring training
- Round Robin results now show in history pages
- Updated player pictures to work for tournament teams
- Fixed online league tournament team management
- Adjusted ratio of throwing errors to fielding errors
- Added new option to adjust player service days when adjusting the league minimum service days value
- Many other bug and cosmetic fixes

OK, that's it! Unless there is a major problem with this patch, we'll now take some time off before fully concentrating on OOTP 19 development. We have some exciting things up our sleeves for next year's version, so stay tuned!

Enjoy the game!
