Hey folks!

Unfortunately, update #10 introduced a critical bug which causes the AI to release recently acquired players. Today's update, version 17.11.73 fixes this issue.

Cheers,
Markus

Hey baseball fans!

We have released a little maintenance patch, version number 17.11.72. It fixes the following issues:

- Stats display in top prospects lists
- Assign fictional financials not setting new media values
- Fatigue for very old players
- Negative cash if owner does not control budgets (owner will now chip in money like if they do control budgets)
- DFA menu item

Cheers,
Markus

Good morning!

We have released a little hotfix patch for update #9, version number 17.11.71. It fixes a couple of issues with top prospect lists and players expecting to hit at the top of the lineup too often.

Good morning!

Unfortunately, the last update (version 17.10.65) introduced some issues which were critical, so we have fixed them over the weekend and just released a hotfix update, version 17.10.67. Fixes include AI issues with player releases, missing promotion/demotion indicators (arrows) and some other tweaks. Also included are the latest historical database updates (error corrections).

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Markus

Good morning!

We have just released the latest update of OOTP 17, version 17.10.65. It fixes reported issues and adds a few nice tweaks & features. This is probably the last update for OOTP 17 as we're now switching to OOTP 18 development :)

Note: If you are having trouble with the game starting and using a Radeon graphics card, please uninstall the app "Plays.tv" which comes with the Radeon's drivers. It conflicts with OOTP and causes the crash.

Here is the complete changelist (compared to update #7, version 17.9.60):
- Added game recaps for playoff games
- Added optional inflation for all financial amounts
- Added option to set all minor leagues to base AI on potential or current ratings
- Added option to disable rainouts, contract opt-outs
- Improved 2016 MLB roster sets (need to start new game for changes to apply)
- Adjusted scheduled starters for playoffs
- Adjusted written scouting report to better match displayed ratings
- Fixed cases of balls rolling under walls
- Fixed case where switching to viewing OSA ratings could alter player demands
- Improved trade speed
- Adjusted aging for player's speed and stealing
- Adjusted contract demands for young players
- Fixed player expense calculation for salary cap
- Fixed crash if defensive player injured on 3rd out and due up first next inning
- Fixed case where users could create quickstarts out of online league games
- Fixed where the computer manager could ignore age limits in certain situations
- Fixed issues with historical leagues which have no first-year player draft but historical minor leagues
- Fixed AI issues with historical league teams that have no minor league teams in the 1920's
- Fixed case where rule 5 picks were not being returned to their original teams in online leagues
- Fixed case where we were recalculating player ratings in historical games when no recalc was specified if other options changed
- Fixed several small bugs and cosmetic issues

Cheers!

Dear baseball fan,

Yesterday we released build #59 and today there's an update already! That's because we found a minor problem in the calculation of the WAR stats. Sorry for the inconvenience!
