Perfect Team public beta launches + OOTP 19 update released!

Hello everybody!

The day has come, we have just released the OOTP 19 update which unlocks the public beta of Perfect Team! This is a very special day for our company, we really hope that you will love Perfect Team as much as we do. It took us over 2 1/2 years of development time to get to where we are today, and now we're really close to putting the finishing touches on. To learn more about Perfect Team and the public beta, please see here: Official Perfect Team Forum

On top of Perfect Team, this update (version 19.9.111) offers several other enhancements & fixes:
- Dramatically improved startup times
- Improved simulations and general game speed by up to 20%
- Fixed injury rating bugs for historical imports
- Improved pinch hitting AI
- Fixed crashes on Mac OSX 10.14 (Mojave) and some Linux distros
- Several other bug fixes

Please do note that this version (19.9.111) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.8.79 or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues. Also, the Linux version does not support Perfect Team, unfortunately.

Have fun!

Perfect Team Developer Update!

Hello everyone,

it's time for an update on our upcoming online competition and card collecting mode, Perfect Team!

The closed beta started about 3 weeks ago, and the feedback has been phenomenal. Of course, there were a few kinks to work out, but in general the feedback from our beta testers has been amazing. They love the new mode and we think you will, too.

To wet your appetite, here is an exclusive hand-on preview by GameInformer's Matt Kato:
https://www.gameinformer.com/the-sports-desk/2018/10/15/hands-on-with-ootp-19s-perfect-team-mode

So, when can you get your hands on Perfect Team? Really soon. We are currently shooting for October 30th to start the public beta, although that may slip into the first week of November. We will keep you posted about the progress and will have a big announcement once the public beta launches.

Have a nice weekend and enjoy our upcoming World Series Special Sale!

OOTP 19 Maintenance Patch (Version 19.8.79) Available!

Hello everybody!

This week we were working very hard to fix the last remaining issues of the problematic 19.8.64 update. And it looks like we succeeded, all customers who were in contact with us because of performance issues / crashes have reported that the current build is stable and performs great. So, here is the final 19.8 update, version 19.8.79.

Please do note that this version (19.8.79) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.8.70 or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues.

Changelist (compared to 19.8.70)
- Improved interface speed
- Fixed performance issues with some AMD CPUs
- Fixed 1946, 1947, 1948 league total stats
- Fixed bugs: scouting graphs, historical finances, allstar bonus, and others

Again, we are very sorry that the 19.8.64 update was such a mess for some users. Hopefully update 19.8.79 puts this annoying chapter to rest.

Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team

Another OOTP 19 Hotfix (Version 19.8.70) Available!

Hey folks!

Unfortunately it seems we're in a bit of a slump, the previous hotfix introduced yet another serious issue (crashing when advancing a day / simming), so we have just released another hotfix, version 19.8.70.

If this update still does not run properly for you, please first make sure you actually have it installed, the bottom of the entry screen after launching OOTP displays the version number. Then please contact lukas@ootpdevelopments.com and explain your problem in detail, he will most likely be able to help you get it sorted out.

Thank you for your patience and support! Again, we are so sorry for the inconvenience, but we're human too and sometimes **** just happens, apparently.

Have a good weekend!

A Perfect Team Update!

Hello everyone!

From all of us at Out of the Park Developments, we hope you’re having a great time living out your baseball dreams in Out of the Park Baseball 19 this season. We continue to receive wonderful feedback from the community, and keep working hard to make everyone happy with updates to the game. We have just released the latest, version 19.7.56, you can read all about it here: OOTP 19 Update Released

Speaking of updates, we know many of you are wondering when and where we’re going to be unveiling Perfect Team, the free new mode we’ll be introducing later this year. We thought it would be a good idea to say a few things to everyone about it, including:
1) What is Perfect Team?
2) When will you be able to play it?
3) Can you give us a preview of it?

What is Perfect Team?
Perfect Team is a new, free online multiplayer mode that will be available to all owners of Out of the Park Baseball 19 via a free update of the game. Players will compete against each other in dynamic online seasons, fielding their own versions of “Perfect Teams” culled from digital baseball cards collected over time. Teams will battle each other in simulated online events, featuring multiple levels of leagues (which simulate several times daily) with winners rising through the ranks to ultimately compete in and win the World Series in a Perfect Team Major League.

Everyone will start out with a set of 6 card packs to open that will immediately yield an entire team to put on the field. As players explore Out of the Park Baseball 19 (in Challenge Mode) and Perfect Team, unlocking achievements and special game performances will earn them more card packs or in-game currency (Perfect Points) to acquire more card packs (or individual player cards on the marketplace) and ultimately craft a team built the way they like it - with players spanning the entire history of the sport. The online leagues will be multi-tiered, with promotion and relegation as seasons are completed. It will be a dynamic, completely new experience!

As we strive to grow our audience, Perfect Team helps bring new fans to the game plus gives longtime players a new and interesting way to compete against other OOTP community members. We are very excited to bring this to you, and can’t wait for everyone to give it a shot!

When will you be able to play it?
We are working very hard to ensure everyone’s initial experience with Perfect Team is a positive one. To that end, we are planning an initial private beta in the next two months, and – provided things go well – an open beta a few weeks after that, near the end of the summer. That should allow us to unveil the official, public Perfect Team in time for the baseball playoffs this fall.

This schedule is a bit different than our initial plans, but creating this experience from scratch (and working with multiple independent third parties) is a large endeavor that is significantly different from anything we’ve ever done before. We want to make sure we get it right – and that the feedback from the betas can be incorporated in the true Version 1.0 of Perfect Team.

In the meantime, of course, we continue to support Out of the Park Baseball 19 like we always have, with patches, updates, fixes, and cool new things. Perfect Team will ultimately allow us to do a whole lot more of that in the future!

Can you give us a preview of it?
We will reveal the first screenshots of Perfect Team shortly after the All-Star break. Of course we could show you some fabricated mockups now, but we'd rather show off the "real thing" once it's in proper visual shape. The interface is very similar to OOTP 19, but there are several new screens in the Perfect Team area, for example the marketplace for player cards, screens showing off your collection and achievements, the Perfect Team Home Screen which shows what's currently going on in the PT world, the Pack Opening Scene (fireworks, finally!) and so much more.

In conclusion
Thank you so much for being an Out of the Park Baseball fan! We appreciate all of your support over the years and are as excited as you are about being able to bring Perfect Team to you as soon as it’s ready.

There were a couple of bugs reported that we wanted to fix ASAP, so here is a hotfix patch, version 19.4.45.

Here is the changelist compared to version 19.3.44:

OOTP 19 Update (Version 19.3.44) Available!

Hey folks!

While half the company is still on a well deserved vacation, we have still worked hard to improve the Opening Day roster set, improve the game and fix reported bugs. This update is available now and brings OOTP 19 to version 19.3.44.

Here is the changelist compared to version 19.2.41:
- Improved Opening Day Rosters (need to create a new game for changes to apply)
- Added a new size to the lineup widget in modern game views which shows season stats (used in auto-mode starting at 1600 screen resolution width)
- Fixed bug where "Pitchers may not win MVP" flag was ignored
- Fixed bug where picks were not protected when eligible FA were signed
- Fixed a bug that did not show proper awards in the player profile when the award truncate option was used
- Fixed a bug that caused overlapping lineups in classic 2D view
- Fixed bug in service time calculation in historical leagues
- Fixed FaceGen issues in online leagues
- Fixed several cosmetic issues and other bugs

Currently we are still getting reports from a very small number of users who experience lockups or crashes when playing the game. So far we have not been able to reproduce or identify the problem, but we're still working on it. If you are among the affected users, please update your graphic card drivers and disable the Steam Overlay for now. For more info, please see here:

Next week the full team is back to work, and we'll continue to update OOTP 19 and also work hard on getting Perfect Team ready for a Summer launch!

Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team

OOTP 19 Update (Version 19.2.41) Available!

Hey folks!

After an incredibly successful launch we didn't rest but instead spent the past week to work on the first update for OOTP 19, version 19.2.41.
It features several new options and a lot of improvements and bug fixes.

Here is the changelist compared to version 19.1.38:
- Improved Opening Day Rosters (need to create a new game for changes to apply)
- Added option to show player awards in the player profile completely, only one or only three per category (Settings dialog)
- Added the option to compare players on the pre-game screen sorted by position rather than lineup spots
- Added "Player labels color" option to the pre-game options, you can choose "Automatic" (which was the default and chooses between the team background & text color depending on which has the highest contrast to the logo) or "Team Background" which uses the team background color for player labels and other UI elements.
- Outs in the modern in-game screens are now indicated with red dots instead of yellow
- Fixed voting page qualifiers
- Fixed some event notifications (no longer display ! once HOF ballot has been cast)
- Fixed some options not being available in minor leagues or leagues with reserve rosters
- Fixed several 3D in-game player movements
- Fixed errors in the historical databases
- Tweaked inaugural draft AI
- Several fixes for two-way players (AI valuation, fatigue, league setting)
- Fixed several cosmetic issues and other bugs

We will continue to work on the game and will probably release patch 2 next week. Currently we still get reports from a very small number of users who experience lockups or crashes when playing the game. If you are among them, please update your graphic card drivers and disable the Steam Overlay. For more info, please see here:
