    Spring Training Information

    I know some of you have never been in an OOTP league before, which means you don't know how Spring Training works. So I will explain what you can do. There isn't anything that you have to do except prepare your roster for opening day. Although OOTP does give you the option of training your player in a particular skill and the ability to train him for a different position. There is no guarantee that he will improve in either though.

    Spring Training works on points, and there are 4 categories that are assigned a certain amount of points.

    Contact Hitting - 5 points
    Power Hitting - 5 points
    Strike Zone Judgement - 5 points
    Defense - 5 points

    You can take points away from one category and add them to antoher category, but you can't go over the 20 points. Also, you can attempt to teach your player a new position. In order to do this, you must use 5 points from the other categories. When sending in these Spring Training changes, please use this format

    Cal Ripken Jr SS
    contact - 5
    power - 3
    strike zone - 3
    defence - 4
    position - 2B

    15 points were used for the 4 skills, so that 5 points can be used to teach a new position.

    If you have any questions, please let me know. Please try not to send in changes for too many players or I may pass out. lol

    The deadline for sending in these changes will be Monday 6/23 at 9:00pm EST

    I think I may go that route since I will be really busy next week.

    Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

    Re: Spring Training Information

    I'll go with the coaches for Gachpar, too, unless I magically find enough time to look over stuff myself before the deadline. But I don't see that happening.
