I'm not buying until we see if there are any changes beyond a roster update/cosmetic update. We've been promised big changes for three years now, and each time we don't get them.

One nice feature I like is the 800+ fictional logos

That's a cosmetic update. They've promised true game updates and changes for three years now, and each year we get "Sorry, but..."

ZTO333 03-28-2018 09:51 PM

Considering getting it for the 800 logos. But I really dont like the idea of rewarding this. There were certainly minor changes which could have been implemented (season projections, better contract system, league/team history tab) if the phones truly can't handle minor leagues, expansion and relocation yet. Just seems like theyre ignoring a massively growing mobile market as people move from computers. Dont get me wrong, will always love this game (thats why i care enough to write this) but it seems like a whole area thats growing fast is being ignored in favor of working on small improvements on a game thats near perfect at this point

Star Chamber 03-28-2018 10:09 PM

EXACTLY. We SHOULDN'T reward this.

This year they didnt even give us any insight, no words from the devs, nothing

Silence

Star Chamber 03-28-2018 10:50 PM

Has anyone been silly enough to actually buy this?

wodi 03-28-2018 11:12 PM

I did, I had to see what a new paint job on 2017 looked like....

I have no idea what these”totals” are for....

Things dont fit on the screen...


Looks like a glorified mess

First amateur draft, 3 total relief prospects....

Looks like were headed for another year of aces and then pitchers who osculate between reliever and starter, ugh

All star scrolling still broken...

Thanks guys, this game is a joke

Sad
 
Last year the game took a step back. It’s the same garbage as last year. I really wanted a great sim but I am done buying products from them. Last year they PROMISED a new engine and nothing has come of it.

wodi 03-28-2018 11:41 PM

I think theyre done with the game, every year less and less chatter less and less time put in.

AlexA 03-28-2018 11:44 PM

Unbelievable
 
Why can’t these simple issues be fixed, OOTP? This is outrageous and it does not reflect well on the workmanship of the company. It is not a top earning game, we get it. But to release a game as unpolished and unfinished as this, when the version 4 years ago performed better is crazy.

On another note, is the game optimized to fit the iPhone X screen? I have been playing this game since iOOTP 2011 and this will be the first year since in which I will not purchase the game if it is not optimized to fit the entire iPhone X display.

It is not at this time optimized for the iPhone X. Pretty sure Apple was making that a requirement at some point but I don’t know when. Love this game but again disappointed like many of you. I think part of the problem is that we may be the ones that post in the forum, very few do, so our voice doesn’t seem like it’s being heard, idk. Sad though. So much potential. Raise the price to $10 and make the changes that were promised. I would pay the $10.

Also just saying I shouldn’t have had to announce that the game was released. Just saying.

It looks like this will be the first year since I first bought their iOS product in which I won't be buying the new version. It's just too many years with no significant improvements. The one "cosmetic" improvement that would change my mind would be the addition of L/R information when managing a game on the iPad (iPhone with smaller screen has it). I do not have the inclination to spend $7 to find out. And that's an enormous shame.

Mr_Devil_Dog 03-29-2018 04:39 AM

This game is the same as 2017, which was the same as 2016. It’s become obvious that OOTP has no interest in the mobile market space and they are trying to rip off their loyal customers. This should be a free upgrade. For goodness sakes they don’t even properly support the iPhone X. Last year I purchased the app even though I knew there was no changes, because I wanted to support their development efforts, but no more. I have supported this game from their first release, but now they have lost my support. For several years they have promised significant change to this game. Well that all adds up to nothing but lies.

I’d pay any amount, hell I’d donate $100+ if it meant real changes.

I used to love this game, I cant get through a season anymore these days, take my $5, I doubt I’ll ever play it.
