From Markus (Maker of OOTP) below:

 

Hey guys,

 

so, the last bugs have been killed (and hopefully do not reappear over the weekend ) and the last features have been finalised.

 

During the past couple of weeks I was able to squeeze a few small features into the game that some of you will enjoy.

 

1) League finances projection : In the past it was pretty tough to set up a fictional league and change the financial settings (i.e. player salaries, average media contract etc.) while maintaining financial balance in the league. You had to simulate multiple test seasons in order to find out if your financial settings work. This is now obsolete, on the league setup (financial settings tab) screen you will find a projection of team average revenue, payroll, other expenses and overall profit/loss. This makes it very easy to set up the finances of your league the way you want to

 

2) Automatically calculate league total modifiers so that the stats output match the league totals : Sounds complicated, but isn't. Imagine you want your league to match 1984 MLB, both in terms of strategy, finances and simulation results. The former two could already be attained in OOTP 11, but the stats output was again trial and error. Now I have added a function which lets you enter your desired league totals (= output), hit a button, and the game quick-simulates the season while adjusting the league total modifiers. The result is that your league will spit out league total stats that are within +/- 2% of the real stats. Oh by the way, this funtion is utilized for historical leagues automatically, resulting in the best historical simulation accuracy ever!

 

3) Player Development Screen : This screen shows you the current player development budget (optional), the top prospects and the positional depth chart of your organization. You can select wether you want to display just prospects or all players of your team, and base the ranking on current ability or potential. See here for a screenshot:

 

4) League Newspaper : This is the new place where you can check all the new & highlight of your league. Besides covering all the news you'll discover a few interesting articles, like leaderboards, historical info, team power rankings etc. We're sure this will improve immersion quite a bit!

 

There are more small features & tweaks that we haven't mentioned yet, but you'll discover these yourself sooner or later

 

Cheers,

Markus
