I hate those stupid emails

HalfManHalfAmazing · 03-06-2003, 12:03 AM

PLEASE insert an option so that stupid email prompt doesn't come up. It's a GUARANTEED win streak killer. Every time I have been on a streak I get a stupid email about a prospect that I DON'T want to hear about (Whether or not I even have a scouting director which is a TOTALLY different matter) and BAM I lose. I just got an email which killed a 6 game winning streak and BAM I lost two in a row. Start winning again...BAM email kills the winstreak. It's ******ed because the game engine resets at the stoppage which the email creates and all of a sudden I'm losing. There should be an option for NO stops unless the roster is unplayable as is.

Hmm...go to Sim Options and disable email notifcations....haha...sorry.

Sudy Nym · 03-06-2003, 12:21 AM

Right... You're saying that the prompts somehow cause you to lose? Just like Harold Baines's hot streaks would come to an end if anyone spoke with him? Haha- they came to an end, anyway.

LOL

HalfManHalfAmazing · 03-06-2003, 01:40 AM

Where is sim options?

PCline26 · 03-06-2003, 01:41 AM

On the schedule screen beside "Teams"

HalfManHalfAmazing · 03-06-2003, 03:21 AM

My grasp on Genglish isn't so good I guess.

"Notice new emails" is supposed to mean that the game will stop if I get an email? Holy Cow.

Sudy Nym · 03-06-2003, 08:18 AM

Personally, I really love the option- I wouldn't want to miss a time-sensitive trade offer. Though I admit that I'm all about micromangement, playing many of my games in real time, anyway. I suppose it would be rather annoying to have to stop in the middle of a multiple season sim to learn that a scrub prospect was ready for AA. Though if I were simming such a great period of time, I'd probably just set control of my team to the AI- because the only reason that I would sim a long period would be for establishing a history or testing purposes.

I just really wish that you could choose not to be informed when a guy just wants to say he's interested in re-signing or your fan loyalty has increased. Those two e-mails annoy me. I leave e-mail notification on because the other e-mails are important, but I hate it when every other day in May I get an e-mail that someone wants to re-sign. I don't even need to know that, nor do I need to know my fan loyalty increased.

I was hoping this would change in v5, but I guess not. Oh well, I guess I'll live with it.

I guess it isn't. If you click it so it says "No" it won't notice them.

Last night I got an email from a guy who wanted me to resign him. Then when I went in to do that he said it was too early in the year. What a flake.

PCline26 · 03-06-2003, 10:03 AM

If you've got a crappy team like the one I had last night (19-62 @ All-Star Break), then you might wanna turn this off. I get 10 emails per week lol.

Yes, please. There really needs to be a checklist with all the e-mail types and an option on whether to be notified (similar to the no-hitters/milestones list you can select from).
