Draft Day Redemption :: Let's Play OOTP 25 :: Ep. 12 (2027 Second Half)

[@DaManGH]

This is literally my favorite series on KZbin right now, and I’d never watched a OoTP play through until now

[@AMSNDylan]

As someone that was in your shoes a few years ago, RUN! (Kidding, it’s a fun game and there’s lots of good OOTP KZbinrs. I highly recommend pfholden’s and Sporer’s playthroughs.)

[@edalder2000]

@@AMSNDylan OOTP is fantastic. But I realized that I did not have that level of patience.

[@21kclank]

There are lots of great OOTP series! 3-2 Count does a great job with the White Sox and Jersey Born with the Angels

[@colebstewart]

@straightouttaboston did some really good ootp series but he disappeared a few years back

[@alkshy8350]

highly recommend oldschoolsports, his buffalo series from last year was the best ootp series on youtube by far imo. currently he's trying to turn the A's around as well.

You’ve had a favors ability scout the whole time! No wonder people’s performances are sporadic. Favors ability scouts evaluate based on stats and favors tools evaluate based on their actual evals of the player’s talent. It’s either a 0:100 25:75 50:50 etc split depending on if they highly favor, favor, or are neutral.

[@redrangers12330]

So if a one star player somehow got an OPS+ of 200, the scout would say he’s a 4 star player or something?

[@chipjnba403]

@@redrangers12330 essentially it’s highly biased by their pre-MLB numbers and just adjusts from there. His favors ability scout is factoring in 25% of his actual eval on the player and 75% of their stats. A highly favors tools scout would focus 100% on the eval and 0% on the stats.

ruining connor griffin's virtual life by drafting him to the A's twice 💯

[@CSkivvs]

Konnor cost himself millions of dollars in signing bonus by going to college. Let that be a lesson for you kids. Don't go to college.

[@mrorcadood]

Ragans to riches

[@bennypanella9189]

I care more about the virtual A's than the real A's

[@isaiahmorales2934]

Fun fact, i grew up with Joshua Mears in Federal Way, played against him in Little League. I also struck him out and I haven't thrown a pitch since high school

[@tombrady2688]

I’ve played OOTP before and frankly it’s overwhelming and tedious. But gosh darn it this series is giving me the itch to try it again.

[@annajensen6701]

same

[@sneersh9107]

Definitely a big learning curve but it becomes second nature after a while and you can automate a lot of things if you don't care to deal with them

[@garrethspinn6266]

Please never stop this series.

[@edalder2000]

Steve Young The QB is also a direct descendant of Brigham Young.

[@paulbbryan]

Anybody else notice the cataclysmic skid the Pirates went on when going over the Cubs around 28:07? Good lord what happened in Pittsburgh?

[@colemargerum5771]

won 2 games in august O.o

[@ExpedientFalcon]

That sounds like the Pirates, yeah. We are used to disappointment. Very similar to A's fans.

[@aholymost]

Loving this Pete Crow-Armstrong fanfiction series Bailey, keep it up.

[@somerandomguy5977]

You definetly underrated Vinnie Pasquantino's season.

[@SAMTIMP]

the Last hour of my shift sitting at a desk literally doing just got lit Thank you Bailey

[@yanndias8584]

This draft definitely changes the franchise. Great players in every pick

[@belicose9]

I was literally pulling up KZbin just to check if you had dropped another one of these. Thanks for making my day Bailey!

[@redrangers12330]

That Matt Chapman deal was questionable

[@cartermoss9775]

I have never looked forward to a KZbin series more than this one please keep going for time

[@sneersh9107]

Thanks Bill. Skinned my balls this morning in a bike crash. - Jeff

[@sneersh9107]

Same day I got Ralphie neutered. - Jeff

[@thetiax]

If you ever do another of these, I'd love to see a historical game in some interesting baseball era. Maybe content for the offseason?

[@Healy6]

This was a great episode!

[@curtisbradley6397]

Woooo let’s go cubs! Can’t wait until 2027, setting my alarm now

[@jasonyang9721]

bailey since ur stagnating, iveplayed 40hrs of ootp25. heres some tips, please upvote so he sees 1) max out dev budget 2) use 20-80 scale 3) only rely on contact, power, eye. Avoid everything else, like babip avoid Ks are all sub components. Power > contact > eye. ignore stars they arent accurate at all 4) for pitchers, priroitize control and movement.

[@jasonyang9721]

if you dont max out dev budget no one will develop!!

[@ExpedientFalcon]

Max out = around 35 mil. Idk if you can afford that with the A's budget, but at least pump it up as close as you can get it. It matters a lot.

[@IBangedUrMom69420]

This does not apply to Colorado*

[@grantlinville1461]

Please keep doing ootp, love this content

[@joshkrato]

I watched all of these and it's been quite fun. I'd say though your trades are questionable and you overemphasize acquiring bullpen pieces. Also, is there a way to change out coaches or organizational hitting philosophies? Your hitters consistently underperform, has to be another issue involved.

[@levicoovert]

I think the problem is he is platooning half his team. Each guy switches places in the lineup depending on if they are facing a RHP or LHP. That can’t be helpful for the players who are trying to get in a groove

[@oliverl9816]

“if we get a little luckier” im sure john fischer is thrilled with that response

[@ajb129]

Red Sox edged the Orioles and Rays 🥵

[@TheNudeSon]

I wish this series would last a little longer but great stuff bailey

[@ExpedientFalcon]

Favors ability and favors tools will get you different types of prospects. Favors ability will land you more league-average-level players, while favors tools will get you more players who look like superstars, but more of them will fail to pan out as well. So it's a trade-off. Get favors tools if you need a face of the franchise (this is you right now), get favors ability if you have superstars and need to fill out your roster. You should try to get "highly favors" as well, it's just better.

[@MaxDidio]

Rangers got that monopoly on Cardinals outfielders with Adolis Garcia at DH, Dylan Carlson in right and Tyler O'Neill at 1B lol

[@travisfletcher6342]

Last time I was this early I had an original and insightful comment to leave

[@Legault397]

Braden Holcomb 64 home runs in 130 games eat your heart out Ruth

[@wallacecreed4746]

As a Cubs fan, holy shit the lineup they were running out on that WS run was beautiful

[@Legault397]

28:00 great year for Ohtani. Other than the torn flexor tendon. That kinda sucks probably

[@Legault397]

Mike Nealy is the name of the CEO of USA Pickleball...

[@liamcarruthers2721]

Seeing Marte as a shortstop and EDLC at third is definitely something

[@7varm2]

Hey there FB! Love the content and I’m glad you’re posting OOTP again. Have you ever considered making a Cy Seymour video on your main channel? I just discovered this guy and he’s gotta be in the HOFu (Hall of Funny).

[@Legault397]

29:38 if PCA hit half that well in real life he would have a .513 OPS which isn't too hard to imagine 🤔

[@kayisnotcute]

Dodgers fans can’t catch a break in this universe either

[@Jacob-jv2cj]

What breaks have they not been catching irl Ian keeping up with them

[@wylelias]

curse broken again!

[@Prederick]

This is just Microsoft Excel, the game. AND I LOVE IT. MORE.

[@SadMarinersFan]

Damn even in fiction land my mariners cant make a world series. At least i still have your 10 year sim to fall back on.

[@WilliamSt.Clair1399]

The tool ability split is kinda gone now. Usually just get the best scout now.

[@warlordofbritannia]

80-82 Rangers in the World Series is the most crapshoot

[@zapp-ht7dv]

rebuilds from the first year are so hard to do because the first few draft classes are so underpowered

[@colemandawkins5447]

FOOLISH, love the series so far, I have one question though. how do you customize the view of your players to see personality traits in the bottom right? My game only gives me a little blurb instead of saying high work ethic or what not.

[@TwenOalley]

Wtf are these comments

[@edalder2000]

Spam.

by the way bailey, when players have the same amount of stars/ potential, the game sorts alphabetically, fyi

[@alkshy8350]

I'm not sure why you're limiting yourself on doing trades? You're already starting with a really tough team to turn around, I don't think you need to make it any harder on yourself 😅

only 1 above average hitter, it’s a wonder you’re even getting 70 wins

[@Legault397]

25:50 unrealistic, the Dodgers can't win a playoff series, especially after a bye week!

[@SlurpCEO]

Leave it to the Dodgers to choke even in a simulation

[@grantreill1966]

Just so you know, the surname Ullola is usually pronounced "oo-ZHO-la" because the name is of Spanish/Argentinian origin and the double L is turned into a "zh" or soft J sound. Nothing like a sport sim to give you names you've never had to pronounce before so I might even be wrong, but it's usually done the way I shared :)

[@williamknight7907]

You get 3 deadline trades?

[@somerandomguy5977]

Why not develop a guy to be better a centre I don't understand. I know I'm a noob but you can increase positional familiarity by playing them at a position and 50 doesn't seem bad but I use 0-100 because it's a video game I want the most specific numbers so not sure what 50 is in 0-100 but it can't be that bad.

[@DavidHull3_OfficialBaseball]

I feel like he trades everyone and never gets big free agents or tries to win. No hate just seems like he runs his team just like Fisher

[@Jacob-jv2cj]

Bro it’s 2027 second half for this video, and he still has familiar faces, fishers version would’ve fucked half those players off already

[@DavidHull3_OfficialBaseball]

True. I guess im saying that because I run my team differently. I run my team like the padres which happens to be my favorite team

[@francoiscorpel8304]

Bailey saying he's bad at the game when in reality it's just showing that John Fischer is a terrible owner that will never win as long as he owns the team
