The worst part is in the last version of the game there was an awesome drop down box on the player page that EASILY allowed the user to reassign a number to a player. And the drop down box only included available numbers so you would not duplicate numbers. Now the box is gone and you can only change it in the editor which is time consuming and does not prevent you from using the same number twice, etc. Plus some of us don't want to go into the Editor and see "true" player ratings, we just want to play and enjoy the experience of the game.
Why the old drop down box can not come back is beyond me. Would be a small thing that would be a long way to making people happy. But I guess the great minds in the ivory tower know better than the little people playing the game.  |
Uniform numbers are completely cosmetic in this game, but I agree, they are important to many of us. I love OOTP15, but this was a step backwards.
I play in online leagues and before OOTP15 I would routinely go through my major and minor league system and change uniform numbers that weren't "right." That almost always involved changing single-digit pitcher numbers to two digits. If playing historical, you might use more single-digit numbers for position players, or even use the old Cubs and (I believe) Astros system of catchers 1-9, infielders 10-19, outfielders 20-29 and pitchers 30-49. You wouldn't normally see a second baseman in 1952 with number 85 unless it was in spring training.
Yes, it's that important to immersion to me.
Further, before OOTP15 I was able to change my online team uni numbers, but now changing them in the player editor doesn't "stick" in my online leagues. I guess editing is turned off in online mode, so I'm stuck with pitchers with single-digit numbers.
No, not a deal-breaker, but still annoying.
