Gameplay
There are numerous ways to play OOTP. You can choose to control everything, from trading, signing free agents, drafting rookies, etc.. You can sim though your games for instant gratification, seeing how your moves play out. Or you can play out every game, making all the in-game decisions. Like who to pinch hit or and when to pull your starter and bring in a reliever.
The game includes many variations of real MLB rules. Like the rule 5 rule with a rule 5 draft, minor league options, league expansion, and a new feature, the ability to negotiate with rookie draft picks. Do you have a drafted rookie who wants too much $$$ up front? Then pass on signing him and receive a compensation pick in the next draft.
Of coarse, most of these features are optional. If you simply want to sim through seasons without all these advanced options, you can disable them.
Another big feature is the included MLB database. Which allows you to import any season of baseball history, going all the way back to 1871. And if you choose, the game will even expand and realign the league as needed, mirroring the actual history of Major League Baseball. Or create your own baseball world with completely fictional players.
