6 new OOTP 9 screens

Markus Heinsohn · 05-15-2008, 11:19 AM

Hey guys, here are a few new screenshots for your viewing pleasure. Development is going fine, almost all planned features are implemented

Screenshot 1: The game now allows you to define filters using stats, which is pretty handy

Screenshot 2: For those who missed it in the other thread, the standings screen now shows the league leaders, like in OOTP 6.

Screenshot 3: We have added a section to the leaderboards which shows streaks! The '*' indicates an active streak. This screenshot uses the 'ootp blue' skin.

Screenshot 4: Suspensions & fights! Who finds the bug...

This screenshot uses the 'ootp classic' skin.

Screenshot 5: Now the dark side of baseball has a part in OOTP as well...

Screenshot 6: Creating international leagues is now far easier, and the players creation routines accurately use the proper nationality settings.

That's it for today... more news soon!

Markus

Looking good, especially like the international team setup.

Screenshot #5:"Right fielder Ethan Atkins of the New Orleans failed a drug test recently"It just says 'of the New Orleans' instead of the city name and team name..or it could have just said 'of New Orleans' without the word 'the' in front of it.Also, the new feature with the 'Disable all bugs and crashes'..hahaha, if only it were that simple!!!! I love the new screen shots. This game will be AWESOME!!! I can't wait!!!

Bingo!

Also in screen shot #4, it shows that there were 4 news articles about different suspensions in 4 days. Is this going to occur that frequently? I don't think that suspensions happen THAT often in real life, do they?I just hope its more infrequent and spread out throughout the season.

Ambermonk · 05-15-2008, 11:45 AM

I like the stat filters & streaks in the leaderboards, and I welcome back the league leaders from OOTP 6.

In "Exhibition mode" will we be able to have a team play itself (team practice)?

And thanks for the screenshots!

Didn't notice that... no, it's pretty rare, like in real life. Looks like this was just 'bad luck'

Will the suspensions be editable, like injuries?

No, there will be suspensions for brawls, argued K calls and drug use.

Can we edit the lengths at least then?

Also, can you be ejected for purposely throwing at batters?

Lengths can be edited in the player editor. Drug suspensions are 10 days first time, 50 days second time, and the full season the next time.

When you intentionally throw at the batter too often you can expect a brawl

PSUColonel · 05-15-2008, 12:02 PM

will there be ejections without definite suspensions?

Cool.

This is more a suggestion for the next game than anything, but it would be cool if each team had like a rivalry score for each other team in the league, and brawls were slightly more likely in those games.

Eg, say a Nottingham team:

Team name - Rivalry score
Derby - 5
Leicester - 3
...

Hope that makes sense.

Yes!

also, I can see from the screen that the "create and maintain hidden players" option appears to something that must be checked at the start of a league. How is this going to affect leagues that are being imported that are NOT using this option as far as the new scouting system is concerned? Primarily the budget and option for international scouting?

Screenshot 6: (Barcelona) Torros should be Toros.
