Warm Up Request

brendanrfoley · 03-10-2002, 08:04 PM

Looking through the manual, I have a few suggestions/requests/questions...

The manual mentions that bullpen releivers while warming may get tired and have to sit down. first of all, I hate that in games. Chances are, if the closer is warming and feels ready, he'll stop throwing.

If you don't wish to implement a reliever who will just stop, how about mound visits to buy time?

And in addition to that, a Bull Pen coach who calls down to the the manager(you) to let you know he's ready.

Finally, how about a "Bull Pen Window" option? It could be the same size as the "Last Pitch" window, go to the left of the scoreboard, and just feature the reliever's last name. When he is ready to go, a littlee check could appear to his name.

Anywho, just some thoughts...

I started using warmup again since it was fixed from v3. Used to be that if you dragged a reliever out of the bullpen, then changed your mind, when you put him back in he had to warm up all over again. That caused me major headaches, so i just stopped using warmup alltogether. Anyway, i'm using it again, and would love to see the AI use it as well. I'd like to be able to see who the computer has warming up to possibly face me. as it is, you don't see that and I don't think the computer is even required to follow the warmup rule.

I dumped warmup rules aswell. If it wouldve effected both sides i might consider it. It's like making a salary cap for yourself in OOTP3

I never like this feature either, but it seems standard for all baseball sims these days. Isn't that why you have a bullpen coach?
