A few minor improvement requests

[McBruce]

1. Scoreboard names. Nice feature, one tweak needed. Names display in a team’s primary colour, but if your team’s primary colour is medium gray or dark gray, it displays on the scoreboard but is virtually unreadable against the background. Anything close to a mid to dark gray should be changed to white for the scoreboard name display.

2. Ball tracking turns off just before it gets to the catching player. This sometimes makes it unclear on a fly ball whether the catch was made or whether it was a HR. Maybe some tracking line colour change from chalk yellow to bright red once the ball clears the outfield wall is the way to distinguish this best.

3. Import/export from colours.xml in the iOS version saves to a file that is protected and inaccessible from iOS. If the feature works and team colours in a fictional league are editable, problem #1 is easily solved.

4. May have been fixed in the latest upgrade. In the animated playback, whoever ends up with the ball on defence when the play ends is throwing it to the pitcher like it is a live hand grenade, regardless of where the pitcher is. If the ball gets hit to the outfield and relayed back to the cutoff infielder, he looks around and sees no play possible, then turns quickly and fires a 120mph fastball at the pitcher backing up the play at home plate, occasionally right through the runner who has just scored or the catcher waiting to tag!

How about a ground ball to first fielded one step from the bag and the first baseman waits for the pitcher to cover and it looks like he punches him in the jaw?

Thanks for the suggestions

For 1., I think we already have a way to change the color to like the team's secondary color or something if it's grey on grey, so should probably not be too difficult to fix.
For 3., I'd consider that a bug tbh, so I'll definitely try to fix that. Probably need to output it to the same place as the debug files since that's really the only accessible location on iOS for the end user.

Regarding the camera/animations though, that's a bit trickier but I'll share internally

I had mentioned in one of these threads about the crazy number of infield hits there are every game. You said you would take a look was wondering if you had the chance. I play out my games and usually see at least four a game and sometimes more

My favorite blip. And another one is when ball goes off the fence bounces back towards infield & outfielder walks to batted ball no matter how far ball rolls. Meantime hitter rounding the bases

I'll actually be coming out with a patch very shortly to fix a PT crash, but in this coming patch we also address the infield hits
