OOTP lets you import league rosters as a file so that you can sort things out outside of the game’s semi-restrictive UI, but even after doing that (more than once) things didn’t go very smoothly. Aside from normal things like adding the DH to both leagues to keep things even, turning off trades and free agency so that computerized GM’s couldn’t go messing with their rosters mid-sim, and getting rid of financial constraints on team building – just getting the players on the right teams was arduous. I love OOTP and will sing its praises for days, but reorganizing the MLB (and MiLB) into like-named teams was not a pleasant experience. Luckily, thanks to the magic of OOTP 19, the newest in a long line of fantastic MLB simulation games from Out of the Park Developments, we need not wallow in ignorance.įirst though, setting up the league… This took HOURS. BUT, that scenario raises an even more important question: Under such circumstances, which letter of the alphabet would beget the winningest team? We can all agree that baseball is great – but how great would it be if every roster in the MLB were reconstructed such that it consisted only of players who shared the same first letter of their first name? The answer is, undeniably: really, really great.

Often, on such occasions, the culprit is Out of the Park Baseball (OOTP – the singular simulator that lets us answer such life and death questions as how would Mike Trout perform playing his entire career in the Pecos League?). Sometimes, here at Off the Bench, we digress.
