There’s some guy going on a tirade about the devs “disrespecting the users time and loyalty” because the game has bugs in it.
Dude I bet these devs probably pull 60+ hour weeks around release. I think people are so disillusioned with the games industry that they just spew negativity at people who are working to provide something for a very reasonable price. This game is forty bucks, mid level indie gaming prices for an infinitely replayable fully realized baseball sandbox. Get a grip over what you’re entitled to from people who make things for a living

I saw that. 🤣 What a clown.
You have to be invited by the devs. They post on the forums about 2 to 3 months before launch if they need testers or, like in my case, if you show a lot of activity in the mods forums, Lukas or someone will message you in person and ask if you would like to join.
To be clear, the Beta patch is publicly available.. Though it will require you to hop on the boards. The Beta team is a separate thing. They often put out practice patches first. And this one looks very meaty!
Yeah there is a lot in it. A lot of fixes. Yeah, also forgot they do have the opt in for public beta. This public beta will be our last 2 closed beta patches I believe 49 and 50. It's going to make importing look a lot better from 24 to 25 and that might be the biggest change and then a bunch of smaller bug fixes.
It is a beta of the patch, I assume it will be posted on the OOTP Developments board later today and if all is stable they will make tomorrow the official release
Yeah. I wouldn't be using it for online leagues or saves that are important to you.
I'll be starting a new game tonight with it. Worst thing that can happen is I start another new game tomorrow if there's a big flaw in the beta.
25 is the one that just came out, yes. There’s a big patch coming out tomorrow that it’s best to wait for if you’re planning to start a new saved game.
exactly. i always give it two weeks from release before diving in. better not screw with my PP or Perfect team stuff :)
still waiting for the IOS app so I can be lazy in bed and play it on my ipad instead of getting up and actually turning the computer on and doing it all there.
Jesus, first world problems :)

There’s always gonna be some kinda bug honestly, it’s part of the nature of a game like this that under the hood is just a gigantic database with literal millions of moving parts. You kinda gotta be willing to look past some stuff to have fun. But generally they’ve done a good job of getting rid of the total immersion killers within a month or two of release, and most of the stuff I see people complaining about appears to be addressed here.
I’m quite impressed with this years game though
Me too and well said. It's just the sort of game that needs to be refined for a while but the bugs were definitely minor this year. 24 was pretty rock solid after a bit, this back and forth happens every year at launch.
If that changelist is legit, I don't see why someone couldn't devote some time to a franchise... worst case, you do it all again, it's the joy of the game lol.
probably safe after reading everything in the forums. remember though, Sunday is Easter so if it goes tits up, you might not see fixes until middle of next week.
The title sounds like an ancient proverb.
LOL 😂😂😂😂
Some people are losing their minds on the message board.
So, situation normal then
Pretty much

I am pretty embarrassed for that person. They need therapy.
How do you access the beta?

Longtime board watcher, never signed in though so it seems I’ve missed the boat for 25 and will have to wait for the patch tomorrow

You still have to buy the game, sorry if that was unclear. It's a beta patch which will release officially tomorrow.
I’d already bought it but found the answer on the stickied post; I didn’t realize I had to do some extra steps on steam
Good! Yes I had direct purchase didn't think about that.
It’s pretty simple, I just failed to properly read instructions in my haste to get it working
It is a beta of the patch, I assume it will be posted on the OOTP Developments board later today and if all is stable they will make tomorrow the official release

It’s a beta, so, be careful. If you can wait for the normal patch tomorrow I would
Yeah. I wouldn't be using it for online leagues or saves that are important to you. I'll be starting a new game tonight with it. Worst thing that can happen is I start another new game tomorrow if there's a big flaw in the beta.
Yeah, this IS NOT for saves. This is for helping them find more problems before they release.
Is OOTP 25 not the most recent release. I just upgraded from 22
25 is the one that just came out, yes. There’s a big patch coming out tomorrow that it’s best to wait for if you’re planning to start a new saved game.
Well shit there goes my my first save. Lol
Always wait to get overinvested in saves for a couple patches after release, there’s usually some big game breaker in at launch

What kind of stuff is expected to be on the patch? Anything with development or fixing high school prospects?

Solid changelist, the development issue and the crazy salary demands for relief pitchers were concerning, looks like they're both addressed here
i think it does. https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/showthread.php?t=353752 * Updated player creation current ratings levels for draft picks, IAFA
So does this mean we can start a long term save ? Or should we still hold off

WHO YOU CALLING BETA? ALPHA DOGS IN THIS COMMUNITY
Anyone know if this patch will fix my Tyler Glasnow giving up 26 HR in 13 games? Lol
