It really comes down to evaluating your team and deciding if it's good as-is or if you need to make some changes. If you're happy with the team, then you can just move ahead through the season. But if you want to make some moves, you can demote guys to the minors, bring guys up, shop players around if you want to trade them, check the free agent pool, etc.
If you don't want to play games out, there are tons of strategies you can set, so the AI will try to imitate what you would want to do in certain situations. (For example, maybe you want to be really aggressive on the base paths if you have a big lead early in the game. Or maybe you don't want a certain player to ever be pulled for a pinch hitter.)
If you want, I would be willing to get on Skype with you and walk through the game a bit and answer any questions you have.
We don't want you to be disappointed, but we also realize that not everyone is into baseball sims. If OOTP just isn't your thing, we understand. Thanks.
How many hours does a season usually take in OOTP baseball?
One of the best ways I've found is series by series. Appraise your players (check if any players are due back from 15 or 40 day lists whatever - any roster changes with your farm system) Set it all up and then let the AI play the series with it set to stop should an injury occur (there are other things ytou can get it to stop for - in fact the level of customization on how and when you butt in to make changes is enormous).
Check the wire regularly, look for bargains all the usual. Then if I make the play offs I might take over game by game, but not always even then.
If you go to the OOTP forums you'll find very few players play pitch-by-pitch, GM with some influence over manager as well.
Warning though. FInding the balance of what is rewarding to do might take a little time - but once you do - real time days will fly by as this is one of the most addictive games I've ever played.
Scritty
If you want to go day by day, you probably will find days where you don't have to do much other than move on to the next day, just like with a real life baseball team. Other times, someone gets hurt, you get a trade offer, you have to negotiate with draftees, etc., and then you have some tasks to take care of.
And if you want, I'm willing to get on the phone or on Skype with you and walk through some of the game screens. Just LMK. Happy to do that. Thanks.
I guess you never wanted to be a big league manager? Have you not done pitch by pitch mode or single pitch mode in a game yet? Have you been the bench manager yet? To me it sounds like you haven't done that. To me controlling everything game to game is where it is at. Try what I am saying and see if you like the game better.
To me with these sports sims I am a stat freak and so I love this stuff. Well I love the stats related to on the field play and not the financial side. Anyway let me know if how you were playing was how I play cuz I am not sure if you were just setting lineups and then simming the game for the day or actually doing on the field managing that is more significant and to me just simming well that sounds like a total bore. No wonder you would be disappointed.
I've dropped it for now. Maybe I'll be inspired later but I'm not sure I want to spend many hours trying to figure out the best way to play. Right now it is either too simple or too complex to enjoy. Finding a happy medium could be a real chore.
I have game files where I just act from the outside, making major trades and callups and files where I do everything down to the last bit of detail. Change lineups and rotations at every level. Track development of prospects everyday. Coach each MLB game. Establish strategies even for the minors. Manually choose who gets promoted within the different levels of the game. Spend hours pouring through scouting reports to find the gem in the rough during the 21st round of the amateur draft. Tracking progress of your top prospects on a day to day basis. Even develop lists and deep scouting of minor league players you want to trade for at the deadline. I have a file all the way from OOTP 12 where I took over the Astros and did exactly what I mentioned above and built them to a powerhouse franchise. You can do pretty much anything with this game.
If you want, feel free to add me and I can help you begin to understand this game if you're still confused and show you some of the other ways I make it more interesting!
My knowledge about baseball is still near zero but I hope watching games (Detroit Tigers) and studying will give me enough knowledge and skills to enjoy game's all features and aspects in future. It will take time and effort but that's of course part of the fun.
Thanks to developers for the Linux/SteamOS version.
Sometimes I will watch important games like tie breakers and key playoff games, but I need the game to move fairly fast personally. I like to sim a full season each time I sit down and play the game. Exactly how fast I move depends on how much time I have available that particular day.
