Minor Changes for OOTP 24

[Pelican]

1. When the manager goes to the mound, could the dialogue match the situation, or at least have some variety? (Is this a folder like the trivia during saves that I could edit?). When I go out to calm down a RP who just walked the opposing pitcher on four pitches, I don't need him to tell me he's "stronger than when I threw my first pitch". Strength obviously isn't the issue. Control is. When a guy is pitching poorly, and I am just trying to buy time for the bullpen guys to get loose, it's idiotic for the guy to tell me how good he feels. The only benefit of this dialogue is when a guy says he's done.

2. I wish there were a way to protest bad calls. Maybe in the future we could request a video review of out/safe calls? With the animation, there are obvious bad calls at the bases. With the pitch location graphic, there can be awful ball/strike calls. [In the alternative, this may be another example of the animation and narrative not being synchronized.]. I wouldn't mind getting thrown out for arguing a series of horrendous calls against my team. The AI can manage in my place.

3. Really need the animation to correlate with the narration. It's confusing. I just had my CF ambling under a ball in the gap, only to have the narrative describe a double. OF running in to catch "deep fly balls". Runners obviously safe or out, but called the reverse. I realize the narrative controls, and the animation is just eye candy. But it's confusing.

They’re working on 3 every year. I like the idea of how 1 works now tbh and would even like it if pitchers got mad at you for taking them out earlier than they’re ready (or later for that matter, although that’s sort of already handled by players getting mad at you if they’re not performing well).

I could be wrong, but I think the VISIT_MOUND responses assume the manager/pitching coach wants to find out if the pitcher is tiring. Conditions may not be available to tailor those responses to other circumstances (e.g., walking the opposing pitcher on four pitches). Who knows? Maybe Matt can rig something up.

1A. Catcher visits to the mound. To help warm up relievers.

To correlate with the MLB rule changes for next season, there must be an option to limit pick-off throws to twice an AB.

out fielders still on occasion run through the walls of the stadium and its been in every version since 3d was released. Thats 4 versions and 4 years and it is still there.

3d Animation will never ever be fully accurate because it is an addon, a mod, a hack, all after the fact.

3d would require a complete brand new code for how games are simmed where the animation is the actual engine and deciding factor for games being played and the narration would then just explain what happens.

[Syd Thrift]

IME outfielders only run through walls with user-created stadia, which is probably an issue with the user created stadia moreso than the 3D animations. But wait, you wouldn't know this because you haven't played the game in like 4 years. It's probably lasers.

If you want to be happy with a flawed product than go right ahead but the ones that are disappointed have to right to give criticism.

For the record I have 200 hours in ootp 23.

Would you say hour 160 was better than hour 142?

But it does matter. In this case you seriously are expecting the developer to provide support for user created mods? For material they don't have a license to distribute? Really? This is coming from you, a "real gamer"?

It's gotten to the point that whenever certain people show up in a thread I just give up on it and never look at it again. Thanks Jimmy, saves me time I guess.

ive owned and played every version of ootp from 18 to current, 18,19,xx,21,23.

i have never stated i did not play 23. ive stated numerous times that even though there are slight improvements each year the overall playing experience has been unchanged since 18.

ive also stated i havent played 23 since the around the first month of release. 2 saves and some testing and then it went on the shelf

You change your story like the weather.....you said you have not played single player since XX. Please do everyone a favor and just stop posting in the forums....you clearly have nothing constructive to add because all your posts are the same thing over and over.

That screenshot was from 6 months ago.....you said you didn't play since XX, then went on to say how easy the game is, so I asked you to show us but you refused because you are full of hot air. You have an axe to grind for some reason, or maybe you just like to troll these forums.

The posts "defending" OOTP are the same because they are responding to the same things that you say over and over. All anyone needs to do is go and read you posts....they all say the same tired things, you just try to change the words to you look like you have something different to say. The only "troll" here is you......I have said it many times before, if you are so unhappy with this game, why do you play it? Just go play that browser game you said was so much better than OOTP and when people called you on it, you started with the name calling (as usual).

So please, if you have nothing different to say, then please just stop posting.
