you know, I just read back through the famous deleted thread, and now I'm even more annoyed.

Here's post 1:
It's not a bug, but by design. It has to do with storage size limitations, you would have to pretty much double the amount of space taken to move it to the next "storage amount"(current one is 255, next is 511) inorder to allow for larger numbers to be stored.

Seems pretty basic, and definitely not a "it's not a bug, it's a feature" response. BIG difference between a bug, a feature, and a design decision. He explains the difference, maybe you didn't understand.

Post 2:
The game is not perfect is this topic an "issue"? I can think of maybe 5-7 times(just guessing) when it has been brought up. Bottom line, not gonna change this year, future years is a possibility. But won't be part of the update.

Besides, I thought only "Triple Play" had guys driving in multiple 100's of runs in a season...hehe

Pretty straightforward - the games not perfect, this may be fixed in the future, but it's not high on the priority list.

Post 3:
Several folks have "implied" that OOTP was designed so that the user could create any baseball world he imagined.....this statement could not posibly be thought of as true.

EVERY game has limits and by some of the things folks have said if we created a game that didn't allow you to do "whatever" you wanted then it is a flaw...."what the?"

The game was designed to give you "alot" of flexibility and the ability to change and edit many things, sounds like some of you guys are assuming way too much.

As I stated before, it is something that may be looked at in the future and if it is the decision may be to change it....I don't know.

Again, nothing insulting or contemptful here.

Post 4 (in response to the argument involving a 1948 minor league)
A bit of a stretch, don't you think? Can you tell me how many people are using this league to play OOTP right now? Ok, granted it has happened in professional baseball but a result like that is hardly a basis for adding it into a game...IMO

Alot of interesting points have been brought up in this thread but it's about time to shut it down

You're right - Steve's horrible customer service is really bogging this company down. He was about the only level-headed poster once you got 3 or 4 pages into this thread. It's obvious from reading these that he has a blatant disregard for customer service. Let's can him.
