playoff coverage questions

thehef · 11-29-2013, 04:53 PM

I'm new to 14, getting acquainted with it after having been on 12 for some time... I really like the new Playoff Coverage screen. Two questions about it:

1. It seems to only be available for the current or most-recent playoffs. Is there a way to save it so it can be accessed later? For example, if I've just completed the 1973 playoffs, is there anything I can do that will allow me to view the same 1973 playoff coverage screen later, when I am - say - in the middle of the 1979 season?

2. In my 1973 coverage page, where the Mets and Reds played in the NLCS, it shows four pitchers for the Reds: Gullett (who threw 9 innings in game one), Billingham (6.1 in gm 2), and two relievers who each threw less than 2 innings. It does not show Grimsley, who threw 8 innings in game three. For the Mets, though, it shows - in order - Matlack (9 ip), Koosman (8 ip), Seaver (7 ip), and Parker (3 ip), which makes sense. Is this a bug?

Just as I was about to post the above, I thought to check Grimsley and found that - as it is now Jan 1 1974 - Grimsley is now on the Orioles' roster. So perhaps this explains his exclusion. Sounds like a bug.

Thanks in advance.

1. Good one for the suggestion forum, as that screen is not saved anywhere in game that I am aware of. Would be nice to be able to do what you suggested.

2. This works like the Champions page as far as I can figure out. If you go to your league history, then champions tab, and look at past champions, you see players who were on that team in different uniforms because they play for different teams now. These images shouldn't change. It would be nice if they were "frozen" to the event.

I suspect that's why Grimsley doesn't show there. As soon as he went to the O's, it wiped him from that event, much like the uniform issue above.
