Hi everyone!

The past 24 hours we have been working very hard to update the MLB rosters with the latest transactions, rating changes etc. So we figured in order to sweeten your weekend, we'd release the updated rosters today via a quick patch, version 20.0.29.

The patch does NOT have any code changes compared the version 20.0.28, only database files are updated. In order for the changes to apply, you need to start a new game, existing games are not updated.

Another thing to keep in mind, since in OOTP the AI sets up the rosters, it is impossible for us that OD rosters are 100% accurate! We try to get as close as possible by tweaking individual player ratings, but in some cases it's simply not possible not force the AI to act like the real life human manager.

If you find big issues or errors, please post here:
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/board/showthread.php?t=299987

We will release another patch in the middle of next week which will have plenty of fixes and improvements, plus updated rosters.

Have a nice weekend!

OK, the development team will now take a small break. We're all pretty exhausted, the past 6 months have been a wild rollercoaster ride and we have worked our butts off. But it was all worth it, OOTP 20 is our best release ever, by far! Thank you all for your support :flowers:

Markus & the entire OOTP Team

Hi everyone!

The OOTP 20 launch yesterday was super smooth and extremely successful, thank you all for your support!

There was however a problem that caused a small number of Perfect Team users to experience deactivated player cards after each sim because the import failed with error code 121. Of course, this is reason enough to release a hotfix, so here it is, version 20.0.26. There are no other changes worth mentioning in this patch.

The next patch will be released Tuesday or Wednesday and contain updated rosters and fix reported issues :)

Have a great weekend!
Markus
