Put OOTP 6.5 requests here :)

Markus Heinsohn · 05-31-2005, 07:23 AM

You know how it goes, sometimes there is a feature sorely lacking which isn't really that hard to code, sometimes in even less than an hour

This is your chance to fire suggestions for small features/tweaks at me... so, let's go! This week all planned features will be implemented, so there some time left for some new stuff...

PS: Regarding OOTP 7 : The past several months there was really not much need for community input on my side, as I hammered the basics into the game. Once the game engine is completely finished, you guys (and I fully understand that the community are the reason #1 for the success of OOTP) come into play and I'll ask you tons of stuff. For example how you would like scouting to work, how player/manager interaction should look like, what are the most important media aspects in baseball and so on... I for myself can never have as many ideas and knowledge as you guys combined have. And I won't be stupid and ignore this fact

How about an award for the best reliever? Or would that be too tough for 6.5?

It would be possible, however it'd be a pain in the a** to store this in the player data. Also, you would not be able to change the name because there is no place left in the league structure...

Ahhh, I see. So this is something best left for version 7 then...

Dargone · 05-31-2005, 07:31 AM

How about an option to allow home field advantage for the world series to be decided by the allstar game? For those who want to replicate current MLB rules...

Treches · 05-31-2005, 07:32 AM

How about including more stats on the yearly leaderboards within the game? WHIP, defensive range and such? Too much of a hassle?

Cool idea... easy to do

Yup, I had that on my list as well... I want to include BABIP where possible, like team reports, player stats etc...

BABIP would be freakin' ideal!

attackemu · 05-31-2005, 07:41 AM

Question/suggestion: Will we have stats from Japan and Cuba for the Japanese and Cuban players who come into the league? The suggestion would be, if not, can we? I play with talent off, and don't want to base my scouting of these players entirely on their star ratings.

Nice, thanks. Another relly small feature you could give a shot at is that little thingy, ya know Catobase. Hardly two mins of coding, pal.

Johnny Slick · 05-31-2005, 07:42 AM

Allow us to edit and save scouting reports! Please!

Dargone · 05-31-2005, 07:43 AM

How about an MVP for each playoff series? Or would that encounter similar difficulties as the reliever award?

Skywalker76 · 05-31-2005, 07:43 AM

Hey Markus,

some small things I'd like to see:

1. Team player of the year award (Combination of stats and how popular the player is)- would be enough if it's saved to the player history file.
2. Owner tendencies (tightwad or spender)- has influence on allowed payroll.
3. Emails from owner: "Welcome to team", "Let's rebuild", "Win it all", "You suck" etc...
4. Top Prospect list of 20 not only 10.
5. A team history page of all the teams MVP's, Cy Youngs, ROY etc... - Just to see how succesful a team has been in gathering talent.

Thanks Markus und "Weiter so"

.

Sorry, no stats there... you can read the scouting reports though, which will give you a good idea of the player abilities...

I like it. More interactions from the staff/organization.

Qrusher14242 · 05-31-2005, 07:57 AM

How about have the option to show the lineup with combined stats instead of vs L and vs R. Like how it is when you go to start a game and see the lineup.

Also, would it be possible to put a Add League button in the League Structure Screen? is it possible with v6?

Bah! These Brits have turned you into a lazy individual.

One thing that we do in our league is keeping a copy of the Top Prospects List as of Opening Day to compare them with the current list as the year progresses. Kinda like a way to keep track of busts and whatnot throughout the season. Not much of a feature, I know, but just came to mind.

Chappy · 05-31-2005, 08:01 AM

Markus, glad to see Marc found the key and let you out for a few minutes.

I'd love to see either and option to hide the injury prone rating, or to see it go away when other ratings are turned off.
