UPDATE: Plans & state of the game.
Hey guys,
the game is out of the door for preorder customers and we have to say that this was a pretty good release! We are very happy as most people enjoy the game immensely.
Of course, a few bugs were discovered and some people are having stability issues. That is something that cannot be prevented in a product as complex as OOTP, obviously. But we're working hard to reproduce the problems and fix them if possible for the patch #1 release on Monday.
So far, the following issues are being fixed / added / tweaked:
- Rare issue with playoff seeding in the major league quickstart, resulting in teams playing themselves or in multiple matchups in a round. This is the most serious issue that has popped up so far, and I am fixing this as we speak. I suggest you backup your league prior to advancing to the playoffs in case this happens to you, so you can roll back and use the patch on Monday.
- The amateur draft pool player origins are using the default origins instead. This is a bug of course.
- Win probablitiy not displayed in-game. This happens in custom installations and will be fixed.
- PH / PR not being removed from depth charts when demoting / promoting players.
- Clearing the pitching staff does not clear the bullpen.
- Random game lockups (these are very hard to reproduce and may well be because of system issues that we cannot control). Fortunately, only a handful of customers (out of several thousands) seem to experience these.
- Some owners in the major league quickstart not having proper spending / patience rating
- Minor errors in the major league quickstart
- Other minor bugs
Alright, getting back to work... enjoy the game
Cheers,
Markus
