OOTP 16 thread

[nash13]

i started looking at totals, they have done okayish work.
i will upload a result sheet later.

[nash13]

my only concern about these kind of predictions are: will the game mechanics show nearly the same results when i or someone else would simulate this on my own. nevertheless this is real awesome work.

[nash13]

Totals are 350-388 seems not to make profit as of right now.

i've wondered the same thing....would the overall record be anywhere close if someone else was doing the same thing i was. I might just be having a super lucky season and it being a total fluke....either way...i'll take what i can get and ride the wave as long as it lasts. thanks for the totals record nash.

What do you use for simulating??

What do you use for simulating??

Its a text based computer game called "Out of the Park Baseball 16".

here is what they say on their website about their simulation engine:

OOTP'S SIMULATION ENGINE

OOTP features the most advanced and realistic simulation engine available, incorporating modern statistical analysis and research, such as the DIPS theory. The sim engine and in-game artificial intelligence form a tandem that produces highly realistic statistical output, both on a micro-level (individual at-bats) and on a macro-level (league-wide statistical totals). OOTP isn't like other baseball games where the league leaders hit 87 home runs or bat .495! (Unless you change the parameters to allow inflated totals, of course.)
OOTP also shines in its realistic player careers, thanks to its use of the renowned PECOTA projections from Baseball Prospectus for real player ratings. Player development and aging routines have been carefully designed and improved over the years, resulting in very realistic and believable, yet unpredictable, player career curves.

I've been playing the game for a few years now...and just wanted to see how it turned out compared to what actually happened on the diamond this year.

Thanks man.

I decided to simulate the games as well, just to see if the plays will hold up once I do it on my own and the differences to your selections. I can upload my results in comparison after a while. Do you use the Real Time Simulations or how do you exactly do it step by step? I guess you start a season with 30 manually controlled teams. Or is there another way to do this? I don't want to do something different to keep the results comparable.

I just started the season with all teams under manual control. after the lineups are posted for each team...i go through them and make any changes...and then from the "league schedule" menu, i go through one at a time with the "quick-play" option. after every game i save it just in case the next game is a rain delay. the only setting i changed was i disabled injuries and do them manually otherwise you will have injuries in the middle of a simulated game that will affect the outcome. i hope this answered your question and if there is anything else...just let me know

thanks a lot, that explains most of my questions. possible trades/ canceled games, rescheduling should be handled manually right? i only played the single player mode so far.

as far as trades go, i haven't found a way to trade between two teams unless one is the team you initially start with. what i do...i take the key players in the trade and remove them from their old teams 40 man roster and then release them...and go to the players profile page and under the "edit" tabe, manually put them on their new team. the real life games that are canceled you can't do anything about...if the simulated game is a rain delay i shut down the game before saving and redo the simulation. crap, i never thought about manually altering the schedule for real games that were canceled. i have always just left them off the simulations for the specific day.
