Kudos to tysok, pstrickert and others that work on PBP.
You done good!
Overall the PBP looked fine in Build 9.27.
Much improved over 2007. I did not play OOTP8.
I played out three games in single-pitch mode.

I did not see one single typo or error or PBP that ran off the screen.
Great job.

Markus has finally added in the second baseman catching foul flies. He caught two in three games. Hope he added in the shortstop, left fielder and right fielder. Still haven't seen them catch a foul fly.

There were three outstanding plays in the three games. This is much improved over 2007 when there were 5-10 a game.

I didn't see a lot of infield hits. When there was one, the PBP gave a clear indication why the runner was safe. The shortstop caught it on the outfield grass and had to set himself, then threw...but not in time.

In the past a player would get an infield hit when it seemed to just be a routine out. Many times I was surprised by the infield hit. The PBP did not indicate any reason for it being beat out.

I think you have made this part of the game much better.

Need more variety on infield popups.
Need more variety on Hard-Coded player introductions that indicate years of experience.

I don't like the hints being on the In-Game Screen when the game creates a picture for a player. They are an intrusion to me and a waste. They are not on the screen long enough to read them. I hope there is an option to disable them. I disabled the player pictures in the Game Setup when I created the league, but it still created them on demand.

However, the guys have greatly increased the number of items in the "Hints". Very much improved and interesting, too. Kudos to those guys, too.

We need to figure out a way to put some color into the game PBP.

But I guess that will be up to Markus and the Hard-Code.

I sure do wish he would use our suggestions to fix the Hard-Code PBP and add more variety to it. This is one major area of the game that needs to be fixed.
