Haha, perhaps I should lean into my insanity a little more! 😆 Glad you enjoyed the ride. Let's see if I can find a way to level up the madness even further.
A colossal opportunity missed on my part! 🤦 On the very same screen, there's the battle of transportation between the Greenville Drive and Round Rock Express. I need to re-do the video now...
Love this idea, I was thinking the whole time that this is like the FA Cup, and then saw you have another video with that as the title! Will def be checking that out as well. Would love to see one in the same vein as the Club World Cup or Champions League, with international teams. My heart would be with the Hanshin Tigers and los Charros de Jalisco.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the 2023 video. It's the same concept with a slightly altered tournament format and different storytelling style. I'd love to do a Champions League, but OOTP only has Korea, Great Britain, and The Netherlands in the game. Not sure those countries would do a Champions League justice without the NPB or Caribbean leagues involved. What do you think?
@@baseballdreamland I did enjoy it quite a bit! I think it might be worth throwing some of those teams in if you ever did another video like this one, but yeah I didn't realize quite how limited OOTP is in that regard. I should have remembered from Foolish Bailey's content that NPB wasn't in it, but didn't realize how few actually ARE in it.
No worries! I think there's about 40 international teams in the game, so it would still fit within the 256 team limit next year. Your champions league idea is interesting for when the World Series is done. Need to figure out whether to make it like soccer and invite multiple teams per league or just one. And also whether to include minor league champions. Any opinions there?
That's awesome! Maybe next year will be their moment to pull off a giant killing upset. Did you see the Pentagon Challenge video I made last year? I managed Staten Island in that one.
I would love to see it happen in real life! It would be great entertainment and bring competitive baseball to new places. Minor league baseball is enjoyable but capped in its potential because the games don't mean anything. This would give fans in those areas some genuine memories, something to look forward to every year, and a real reason to connect with their club.
I want to take an OOTP class too! 😂 Or more realistically, you're getting excellent multitasking experience. Hopefully you are adding the professor into the game as a coach or something.
Agreed! That would be the best path to an even larger tournament. OOTP has the leagues from Korea, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. Looks like around 40 teams. I should also be able to make a champions league happen after the World Series...
@@baseballdreamland I wonder if anyone makes mods for the leagues not in the game, cuz Japan and the Caribbean countries would add some real competition.
Thank you! Great to see you enjoyed and that your minor league teams did well. The "greatest teams" request is an interesting one. It would be a ton of fun to do, though I'm conflicted because it's been done a few times before (links below). Is there's a differentiated version of a tournament that would still be of interest? Maybe the best team that has never won the World Series or some other wrinkle to avoid repetitiveness? I've also considered doing a WORST team of all time tournament, but I want to wait for OOTP 26 so I can include this year's White Sox in that field. Would love to hear your ideas! th-cam.com/play/PLH-9DN7Qpvpw4Wk85ud3JKnDleXVsO7Uk.html th-cam.com/video/qTzXty8Yy0k/w-d-xo.html
This would be so cool in real life. Imagine a huge tournament like this to cap off spring training? I know the Major Leaguers wouldn't even participate though.
I agree. It would be cool even if it were only the minor league clubs. Such a fun way to kickoff the minor league season. The sad part is even though it would be a moneymaker, the major and minor league owners won’t be able to agree to a distribution of revenue.
@@baseballdreamland That's a good point. I would actually prefer this with just all minor league teams. This would be a great money maker that wouldn't stink of just a money grab.
Don’t get me wrong, I really want MLB clubs in it. My favorite part of this is the big upsets. But I think I see your point that just having MiLB would preserve a certain purity to the event.
They are 2 for 2! I'm waiting for Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts to re-release their "sorry we didn't make the playoffs" letter to Cubs fans with advocacy for MLB to adopt their preferred postseason format.
Hi there! This save was a live start the day after the World Series. MLB, its affiliates, and KBO should have end of 2024 season rosters while the Indy leagues should be beginning of 2024 season rosters.
Hi there! Yes, Old Comiskey with new signage is exactly what it is. I downloaded the ballpark from the OOTP Development Forums and swapped out all the images to rebrand it for the Chicago Dogs. I actually made it for an indy-ball save in OOTP24 and was excited to re-use it for this save. I'd love to use Impact Field, but nobody has made it yet.
Hmmm, I think that would be possible. When you begin a standard historical save, I don't believe the minor league rosters are accurate between the AAA, AA, A+, A levels of a single affiliate. Is that a big deal to you? Is there a specific season you are interested in?
@@baseballdreamland Well I do an all time league with every franchises dream team from the specific quick save plus add some historical teams Maybe put each world series winner in a tourney and things might be interesting
Gotcha. I’ve seen a few of your videos. Nice to see all of the different ballparks in use. One of my key criteria for a project is doing something unique. There’s a couple of “best ever team” videos and series out there, including yours. I’ll keep thinking about a differentiated version of this idea though.
First and foremost, my condolences to you. I love seeing my first conspiracy theory! We need more controversy on this channel. I'm not sure how to interpret your claim though. Was it rigged that they got as far as they did, or rigged because they didn't get further?
If you download the quick-save, please reply with your version's tournament winner, biggest upset, and furthest advancing minor league club!
What’s your name in the boards? I’m The Game.
Are you asking about the OOTP development forums?
This is entirely insane, and I like it.
Haha, perhaps I should lean into my insanity a little more! 😆 Glad you enjoyed the ride. Let's see if I can find a way to level up the madness even further.
Not enough mention of the Blue Jays vs. Woodpeckers showdown at 7:41 - the battle of the birds, if you will.

I saw the title and immediately thought FA Cup.
Thank you for not saying Carabao Cup!

Literally wearing a FerryHawks shirt right now so seeing them advance was a lovely surprise!

Great video! Enjoyed it 😂
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
Great video !
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Cool concept!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Is there anything you would change about the format? Any favorite moments in the tournament?
I'm not even a baseball fan, but I'd watch the early rounds of this tournament if they did it in real life. I love huge chaotic tourneys.

this is the type of stuff i do in class
Do you mean playing Out of the Park Baseball, making TH-cam videos, or something else?
@@baseballdreamland doing silly things in ootp
I want to take an OOTP class too! 😂 Or more realistically, you're getting excellent multitasking experience. Hopefully you are adding the professor into the game as a coach or something.
If you want to crank this up, bring in some international teams. There are leagues everywhere from Australia to Finland!
Agreed! That would be the best path to an even larger tournament. OOTP has the leagues from Korea, Great Britain, and The Netherlands. Looks like around 40 teams. I should also be able to make a champions league happen after the World Series...

@SuperJNG18 yeah that would be fun
Thanks for all the hard work on this. Any chance for a “greatest teams” playoff?

I’ve always said for the cubs to get back to the World Series, there needs to be a playoff with every team in the American pro baseball system
They are 2 for 2! I'm waiting for Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts to re-release their "sorry we didn't make the playoffs" letter to Cubs fans with advocacy for MLB to adopt their preferred postseason format.
what rosters are they after the 24 season or before 24 season?
Hi there! This save was a live start the day after the World Series. MLB, its affiliates, and KBO should have end of 2024 season rosters while the Indy leagues should be beginning of 2024 season rosters.
What stadium do you have the Dogs in? It looks like Old Comiskey but with Dogs signage.

Personally I wouldve loved for u to do this format but for HISTORICAL blubs cause it would be as fun but what can ya do

@@baseballdreamland im just shocked u watched those videos but hey do what u what, stay unique!!
Just a few of them…it’s a long series!
As a White Sox fan, I think this was rigged. 😢🤷🏽♂️👍🏻
