I hope this is true. Quite encouraging.

From all of my time on the board reading posts from PSU, I think, he is just a guy that wants an MLB game as realistic as possible to today's and historical standards. It's his opinon, he's entitled to it, and I read nothing else into it.

So, they were likewise opposed to the work that went in to allowing users to create fictional leagues?
And that allow users to have rules that don't exist in MLB?
Or to override rules that do exist in MLB?

Not a "gotcha", a legitimate question

Definitely an opinion though, that we are all allowed to agree or disagree with. Since pants are a waste of time what about the "skirt uniforms" the women's teams wore in the 40's? Should they be in the game or are they a waste of time? This is a serous question not an attempt at "gotcha". The current 3d player models are male. It follows 3d women models should be part of the addition, yes?

My opinion, having women be an explicit part of the game should come first and as soon as possible
Then uniforms

My thinking is changing the pronouns, adding a male\female selection, and a female facegen ability would be a good start and allow easy mods to be produced.

Seems reasonable

How do women age, hit their prime, compared to men? As of now they would be using the same engine.


For some that argue OOTP was made primarily for the fictional player? I can't buy into that at all. The game always had MLB stats and players (albeit with fictional names, though a real name file was always available on release day until names became public domain) as the default. Everything else stems from that. Other leagues and worlds operate at a percentage of MLB. Whether you go to Mars where 10,000 ft homers are the norm, Rookie ball in an MLB world, or play in a small non traditional baseball country on earth. Keep in mind all of these countries were introduced because FM code was used as part of the total rewrite when OOTP went to SI. Why not use the whole world of soccer if it is available? Hell a lot of people took this as a negative when the rewrite was done and were never going to play OOTP again as it was becoming a soccer game. In reality all of these countries are no different than North America\MLB, they're just modified to a low percentage of what the MLB world runs at.

Right
And people are fine with the assumption, not supported by any data, that players from these countries would develop just like players from North America that has 150 years of baseball history and little leagues, high school baseball, college baseball and minor leagues.

But draw a non-arbitrary line with female players being included becaue "show me the data"

If they can overlook the differences between Tuvalu and the United States they should be able to overlook the differences between men and women. In my humble, or not, opinion,
