Smile Patch 9.2.0 coming soon!

OK guys, the final build will be handed to the beta testers today, so if they find no glaring issues, it'll be released to the public in the next couple of days.

We have fixed all reported issues that we were able to reproduce, and found quite a few ones which may be related to crashing issues that a few users are experiencing. On top of that, we have improved the AI in multiple areas and also further tweaked player development.

Two new features have been added as well:
1) You can now assign starting pitchers in the 7-day lineup screen, giving you full control over your team.
2) In the player strategy screen you can now set a player to a position which is forced upon the AI when it selects the depth charts and lineups. This feature is useful if you do not handle your minor league teams but want to teach certain players new positions.

But we did not stop there, we have also improved the in-game text and with the great help of some beta testers the play-by-play as well. It now mentions more stats and also things like league rankings.

We'll also have a special promotion very soon for the playoffs, offering OOTP 9 at a reduced price for a limited time.

Cheers,
Markus

As always, thanks for the update Markus. I play out all my teams games so any PBP and in-game text improvements are good news

I'm pretty stoked about the play-by-play improvements, especially the league rankings being included. I'm very pleasantly surprised.

So once again people that procrastinated about buying are going to get a deal while those that bought it right after it's release paid full price?

I have no interest in the argument, as I pre-ordered.... but somebody's going to bring it up so I figured I would give the ra-ra folks on here a chance to get a head start on their rebuttals (or simply cut and paste their rebuttals from when they did this with the last version).

!!! I know it's just a handful of bucks, and I love supporting Markus and OOTP and all, etc. But I just bought the game this past Saturday and this is the second time now that I've gotten burned by a surprise discount.!!!! (I know, I know, it's not that big of a deal...)

I hope this includes locking roles for pitchers.

I have lost count of the times that I have said that there are three discount periods. 1st, there is the preorder. 2nd, there is the All-Star Break. 3rd, there is the playoffs. I don't have any special knowledge about this, but I have observed this pattern for at least the last three versions.

Was there a playoff discount last year? I don't have any record of it, which was why I bought.

Oh well, just another feature I won't use. I just don't see why the AI insists on starting some of the lowest endurance pitchers pitchers (mostly high-end closers) . Thanks for the info.

Thank You Markus
I'm happy that you decided to spend some time on PBP.
That was my only complaint with this version, and you mentioned all 3 parts of the pbp that I thought would help make it a better experience for us who spend some amount of time managing our games.
Great service 2nd to none.
