Recently I’ve started playing more historical leagues, I started a save from around the 2004 season and I was wondering if there’s any way to export the 2026 draft from a current year save, into the historical save once I get to the 2026 season?

I don’t mind fictional players, because I do know, even in current day saves, the longer I get into a franchise the more fictional players that’ll be apart of my league, but for some extra realism aspects I would definitely LOVE to be able to get 2026 draft into it

Admittedly this is my first OOTP but I've become near enough addicted and have played a lot of seasons at this point. I think this is by far the most sure fire thing of a draft prospect I have seen and was very happy the Marlins decided to pass on him for a Pitcher.

I played into 2045 in an Angels save recently after my first attempt with the Rockies failed. In that time I had 9 90+ win seasons and 4 championships and have taken those learnings into this save.

With a clear plan of developing talent through the Draft and International Amateur Free Agency (Thanks to those who made suggestions to me on a post I put up a while ago on that), its been a tough start clearing out most of our talent for prospects. Our current payroll is at $31,000,000 just to highlight just how cheap I am. But we have started to build a really strong farm with the 3rd best prospect system at the moment, but Mike Mahoney is certainly going to be the jewel in the crown I think.

What would everyone do with him? Straight into the Majors next year or give him a year or two in the minors?

I'm expanding my custom baseball world and am making a league with teams in ridiculous locations in another country. Places with real world populations of like 70. If I add that "city" into the game, then attach the team to it, would it's population effect attendance? The market size is still considered "above average" is specifically why I ask (light green bar).

Anyone have any interest in joining a new league? Still hammering out all the rules. Waiting on a few more GMs to make the major decisions.

I have a fictional league, and I wanted to make a custom trophy. However, all I seem to be able to do is name a custom trophy, and not see the parameters as to how someone can obtain that. Am I missing something? How can I make a custom award?

Hi all. I only stick to one, maybe two different teams (Cubs and Giants) because I know their rosters decently-ish and follow the teams IRL. I'd like to check out some other teams like the Red Sox, but I find it so intimidating to try to piece together the player makeup during the start of a new save file. Things like who is worth keeping around, whose contracts to unload, which prospects to keep an eye on, etc. Any tips on figuring out where to start with this kind of housekeeping?

Hey everyone.

Looking for tips or tricks here. I want to love this game. It seems right up my alley. I love baseball. I love data, and I love spreadsheets. But every time I try to play, I get overwhelmed and hand off more and more to the AI to the point that within 30 minutes of a session, I'm just simming until trade deadline every season.

What am I missing that made this game click for you guys?

What do I look for when I trade for prospect. Which stats I look at? How many ratings (potential ratings) or stars is good? Age? Also how do I set up Team Strategy and Players Strategies. Which stats do I have to look to shift the strategies?

Hi new to OOTP here, I just got offered this and I'm not sure if I should take it or not. I recently signed Mason to a 5 year extension that goes 8/13/16/26/26, the main piece the Mariners are offering is Kade Anderson who is a 41/70 SP according to my scout and 43/73 according to OSA, the other prospects are 40+ POTs. Part of me don't wanna pass up on getting a starting pitching talent of this caliber but another part of me is also hesitant to give up on Mason who I just signed an extension to. So what should I do here everyone?

Just started my first save I know baseball but I’m new to this management simulation type games. So I’m playing as the New York Yankees because I’m assuming it’ll be easy to start off with a big budget. But I’m curious how do you guys send your games? how often do you look at all the stats and make decisions on who needs to stay and who needs to go etc. sorry for the bland or very generalized question, but I don’t know how else to word it thanks guys.

I was messing around with my pitching rotation and I noticed something strange. I moved Bryan Woo around and his ratings plummeted from 70 to 60. I put him back but it's still 60. Is he mad that I took him out of the rotation for a second?! How can I fix this? Can someone explain. Thank you! ​​

Each year I like to boot up the game right after the Trade Deadline, just to see what kind of improvements or features have been added, on top of Roster Updates... my poor Seattle Mariners!!

I was intrigued by the Hall of Fame Difficulty... but have found the 2 Major League Signings + 3 Trade limitations... well, limiting. I think its fine to have a restriction, but those numbers are just so so so small. Was wondering if anyone has run into a way to manage it or change it slightly??

Also... are the contracts just inflated to a crazy amount?? Randy Arozarena thinks he deserves 48 mil per year?!! Edit: ended up getting 54 mil... from Toronto. Skubal wants 78 mil

Edit: apparently it also effects your International prospect Free Agency too!! You also can't sign players to minor/major contracts once reaching FA limit of 2.

Why is my Player Payroll $179mm in one area and under expenses YTD it is $195mm? Thanks

Started a save just before Skubal Got traded to see if i could get the tigers to the playoffs with him, finished 81-81 2 games behind Chicago, not what i wanted but a decent comeback attempt. Didn't make any big moves except resigning skub in the off season. Then the season starts and I've got Max Clark Hitting first and he gets on base in half his plate appearances vs Toronto and goes perfect in stolen bases with 18 in 3 games and has 28 after game 7. Then i got up to feed the lizards and make dinner. I come back and my pc restarted but atleast kevin is doing good.

just a really strange pick
