![]() OOTP ’22 does an outstanding job of providing multiple paths for users to experience the game of baseball the way they want. What I Like – OOTP 22 Review Modes And Options With that out of the way, let’s get into the OOTP ’22 review. Perfect Team 22 announced, and a new mode called Perfect Draft.All-new strategies and management options.Completely remodeled coaching system that connects and impacts your entire organization.Dramatically improved Ballpark Construction Kit.New 3-D ballparks for every Major League team.So, what’s new with OOTP 22? Here is what the development team hyped up: The OOTP series and its developers have been consistent with upgrades and the implementation of “quality of life” changes and improvements over the years, and this year is no different - as I’ll discuss in this OOTP 22 review. It was initially only a text-based baseball simulation, but OOTP has now grown into a hybrid title that offers text-based and visual options to watch the action on the diamond. The game still becomes way too easy about 4-5 seasons into the game even if you use an expansion team with terrible starting players and no minor league players.The Out of the Park Baseball franchise has been with us for over two decades now and is part of the baseball gaming lexicon. Though they made some nice improvements, the game still needs a little more to make it challenging. Interestingly, I seemed to have a harder time in ootp16 than in this game using the same setting. This happens even if I tune down creation modifiers (because ultimately they are zero sum). ![]() ![]() Even with scouting set to "very low" and a slightly above average scout, I am creating about one star player every year in my minors and one superstar every other year. Its not a big deal for a human but it makes the game somewhat nonstrategic. You still have to give them near unlimited funds for them to compete. Problems that persist include: = AI still cannot manage favorable contracts nor its own finances. = They provided some new manager ratings to see while hiring them but they remain largely useless since there is no way to even begin to guess the skill of a coach or manager using them. This was very good and fixed some of the budgeting issues (for human players) in previous versions. Now they good ones demand at least half of the salary of a good starter. No longer can you hire the best relievers for pennies. + Reliever salaries have been fixed to be more realistic. They also created nagging injuries which was cool. They seem to have increased their frequency of non-DL injuries and reduced the number of major game breaking injuries which is perfect. Finally they listened to people (like me) on the forum and corrected injuries so that most injuries no longer place a player on DL but rather they just reduce their performance while they play through it. The problem was, all injuries and illness were debilitating and removed the player from the game (even something as silly as a sprain or a cold). In previous games, even using "low" injuries resulted in more DL days league-wise than real life baseball. Here are the notable improvements I have noticed while playing: + Injuries are finally sane. ![]() If you are like me, and dont care about all of the 3D enhancements made the past few years, you will be happy to hear that this year they actually improved on the core of the game rather than useless graphics. If you are like me, and dont care about all of the 3D 1st, remember a 5 is average (math > opinion). 1st, remember a 5 is average (math > opinion).
