OOTP Baseball 12 Update #4 Now Available!
The baseball season is heading into its final month, but we haven't stopped working on Out of the Park Baseball. As in past years, we're committed to putting out updates even months after the game's release.
Today we're proud to announce the release of OOTP version 12.4. Here's what you'll find in this update:
- We added a new internal player rating: 3B/2B ratio. When this rating is set in the editor, it will be used for determining the triples rate of an extra-base hit (instead of the player speed rating). This rating is automatically set for all historical players upon import, improving statistical accuracy. Fictional players occasionally get a rating applied as well.
- Trades now work even when a team has a negative projected balance, as long as the balance improves or stays the same through the trade.
- Several problems with contract negotiations have been fixed.
- Players now react faster to minor league contract offers.
- During the offseason, lesser-talented free agents demand minor league contracts more often.
- We changed the behavior of the "Meet Demand" button in contract negotiations.
It now takes the player's demands and automatically asks for the player's response to that offer.
- We made the number of international free agents generated a bit less predictable.
- We tweaked teams' spending behavior, resulting in fewer instances where great free agents go unsigned for a long period of time.
- We tweaked default financial numbers in fictional leagues to give teams more money to work with.
- We tweaked OOTP 11 league importing for more stable financials.
- The diagnosis for a 'delayed' injury now appears sooner sometimes; the typical delay is 1-4 days.
- After deactivating an OOOL league, it will now automatically be a standard online league.
- In OOOL leagues, the league URL and all other text values can now contain "less than" and "greater than" characters.
- The OOOL league browser contains link to league web sites and info about each league now (move the mouse over the league name to see it).
- Fixed a bug that made downloading an online league file fail.
- Fixed the problems with the "clear league file cache" feature.
- Fixed several small bugs.

Later in September, we will release the final update for OOTP 12. It will introduce a couple of new features, such as a GM / transaction history page and preseason articles. After that, the OOTP 12 development cycle will be concluded and we will focus full-time on OOTP 13, which is scheduled for a March 2012 release.
All the best!
