For those who don’t know OOTP stands for Out of the Park baseball. It’s a computer game in which you manage a professional baseball team for year after year. Trading, drafting, developing talent, negotiating contracts, running finances and stuff like that. It’s really fun and pretty adictive. I think there’s an online league around here somewhere too. But I’m only playing solitare
Anyway for people who want to brag or bitch about their teams. 
I just got OOTP5 and played for about 12 hours straight. The good news: I won the World series my the first year. The bad news: I won’t be winning again it anytime soon. I was drafting for initial success more than the future, and it worked with two exceptions. Players really decline fast in 5. I drafted a four star SS and 3.5 star lf. Halfway through the year they were one stars, and not worthy of that. I had to trade all my near ready prospects to replace them with decent players, I squeeked out the world series, but had to win a wildcard playoff game to even make the playoffs.
But now the idiots are making 6.2 and 5.5 million respectively for the next 2 more years, and they won’t even accept assignment, so they are a dead weight in my roster as well as my wallet. 
and sure as hell nobody is going to take them in trade.
The good news is I have a 5 star CF prospect who I put in the majors halfway through the year, and he hit .320 with 26 HR and 19 stolen bases.
Another thing I’ve noticed about 5 is that the salaries for starting pitchers is much higher. Even a crappy SP wants more money than an excellent MR, so I think next year I will experiment with a 4 or maybe even a three man rotation, and let my excellent Middle Relivers eat up most of the innings.
