OOTP 27 Go! Screenshots and updates

[Will Beh]

Hi all,
Go 27 will be coming out soon, hopefully in the next few days, although we are being slightly delayed by App Store approval so timeline is unfortunately a bit unclear. I will keep everyone posted as best as I can
In the meantime I wanted to share some screenshots as well as some of the features in Go 27 this year. I will post a more detailed changelist on launch, but here are some of the big items

- Advanced stats and charts for all players
- Improved AI with the reworked trade AI
- New to Go prospect pipeline screen
- New difficulty settings
- Improved UX
- Improved 3D including the new rain and fog
- Perfect Team updated tournament management, types and rewards
- Perfect Team Hall of Fame Artifacts
- And more

Thanks for update.....Will......My heart feels much better hearing this news. I felt something was coming up because GO 26 has been removed from app store.
Again thanks for the update to us baseball junkies

Super excited for this!

A little bit of Hopium here: Any chance we have the option to Offer all Upcoming Minor League FAs a contract extension easily like we can on the desktop game?

On desktop do you mean that it's easier to right-click > offer minor league extension, but on mobile you have to go to each player screen individually?

I can look into adding something the the Action menu on Go to help and hopefully I can get it into the first patch

Any chance OOTP go will have the Mexican league and the American independent leagues like the main OOTP? Can’t wait for it to be released always such a fun game to play.

Go will still be just KBO and MLB to try to keep the app size down so it can be on a phone. Might be something I can take a look at next year, but for now it's MLB and KBO

I'd love to compare PT players on the app similarly to the base game.

Was pitcher stamina potential ever considered for the desktop game or the GO app?

[coreano]

As a player who always enjoys the many different elements in the game, I’m curious whether there are any plans to add Negro League players to History Mode in the GO version, or to include seasons from before 1901.

Of course, I understand and sympathize with the concerns about the game’s storage size, but I still wanted to ask.

I think stamina does fluctuate but there isn't a set potential like the other ratings because it acts differently than say control for example. You'd draft a SP out of college and he can already pitch 6 innings, so there's not really a potential to be reached, whereas his mechanics might suggest a potential control if he works on that.
So right now the changes in stamina are handled moreso as talent change randomness, aging, usage (I think), dev lab, dev sliders, and more I'm sure I don't know about :P

Yeah I think the storage was also the reason to not have them in the app, but that being said I don't mind taking a look at it to see

Icloud saves to play on both Ipad and Iphone on same save?

Actually this touches on something I've wanted to do for Go for a while, but want to implement it for both Android and iOS. It would be really nice if there was a way to export saved games so that not only could you transfer them from one device to the other, but also so you could import them into each new release. It's very high up my list of items I want to add for Go (if not the top) but it would be a big project that I haven't been able to tackle yet sadly

Thanks as others have said, Will, for the updates and peak at the new version. Great to see.

Apologies if I have missed this in the current or past versions, but is there (or will there be, or can there be) a way to get pitcher/batter historical stats in Go? That to me is the single biggest missing piece in the app from the standpoint of my enjoyment (slight other one would be to make Busch Stadium not look like you are a block away from the stadium in wide view!).

Finally, I have suggested this before and it seems like an easy solve (but often even in my company I tell IT a solve sounds easy, then find myself snoozing in a corner an hour later as they explain how that might take two years and $35 million to implement)....anyway, back to OOTP Go, there has to be an easier way to shift between "one-pitch" and "pitch-by-pitch." So many of us play one-pitch until the game scenario justifies going pitch-by-pitch, but you have to go to the Options screen AND scroll down to get there. A simple one or two click option would be wonderful, even if it was just to move it to the very top on the right of the Options screen. It's not that going to that screen is the pain, but it's having to scroll down every time. There can't be another box in Options that people use more than this intra-game.

And again, I'm telling you, easy--at least for me to propose.

The historical stats aren't really my area of expertise but I'll check with the team

Also the switching between one-pitch and pitch-by-pitch does sound like it should be an easy change. I'll definitely look into it, and while I can't guarantee anything, it's definitely not going to cost $35 mil to implement
