OOTP is the type of game that can seem very overwhelming to newcomers, given all of the options and tools available to the user. Veterans of the series eagerly anticipate each yearly release, but for those skeptical of trying it out due to the complexities of the game, this guide is for you. There are three basic game types to choose from:
- Standard MLB, which is what this guide will cover.
- Historical Season, which is similar to Standard MLB, except that instead of starting with current day MLB rosters and settings, you can start your career with any MLB season dating back to 1871. Most of the tips in this guide can be applied to this mode as well.
- Custom, which is recommended for those who have played the game for some time as there are a lot of customizable options here. Once you are comfortable with OOTP, you will start many games using the custom game creation wizard.
