OOTP 9 Manual Thread
Hi folks,
I wanted to post a quick note about the in-game help and online manual. I'm embarrassed to admit that it's not nearly as complete as I'd hoped it would be. :( I had some real-life stuff get in the way, and just wasn't able to get it done in time. So, it's likely you will come across pages in the online manual / in-game help that are missing content. I'm continuing to work my way through these things as fast as I can, and I appreciate your patience. In the meantime, the beta team folks will be doing their best to help answer any questions you may have. In the mean time, there are a few pieces of good news:

However, the content is also included in the game, so if you hit F1, you'll be able to see all of the content. But, as I mentioned, still working on that content. :( |
I need some time to adjust to this.
I'm always online these days. Do I really need the manual in file form? For now, I am greatly relieved to at least find it has search capability. |
The scouting & personnel page still refers to OOTP8 stuff...i'm trying to figure out why I can't set my scouting budget over 1mill when the league avg is 2mill...

Please release a PDF version if possible. There is no replacement for a properly written manual that I can sit and read when I don't have online access.

That online manual is really pretty nifty, but yeah, I'd still like a pdf too.

I'll save the PDF discussion for a later time, if that's OK! |

One suggestion I have would be to devote significant space in the manual to the ABA quickstart.
As I understand it, a major reason behind having this nicely-developed out-of-the-box playing mode was to provide an easier point of entry for more novice players. (Which I still kinda consider myself to be, even though OOTP 9 is my third purchase in the series, going back to the "Season Ticket Baseball" days. There's just so much here!) There should be a friendly introduction to the quickstart that is written with this in mind, covering, for instance: * Some notes on how the quickstart was designed * Suggestions on how to start playing the quickstart (setting up the human manager, deciding what role to assume with what team, etc.) * Notes on the features that have been turned on, or turned off, by default Really, anything that reduces the "cool...but gosh, what do I do now?" effect--at each point along the way, from the first time the game is launched, to the point where a newbie starts to feel a little comfortable and more than a little hooked--would be a big help I think. |

I'll think about that (in all of my spare time). Scouting isn't done yet, unfortunately. |

On a MacBook Pro running OOTP at 1440x900 the online help text does not stay in the game's browser. Meaning the right side of the sentence is cut off a bit as it goes past the margins of the window.
