Any chance you can address either of these issues in a patch. Surely it can't be that hard to code a third hand

this->hands++;

Damned, did not work

I'm now getting flashbacks to the SI boards post-CM4 - "y woz this taken out?!?!one!"

The horror... The horror...

I just assumed that the older stuff would have been included in the very beginning. But instead I just made an ass out of myself in the process.

CM4 was also unplayable. At least untill EP 58 or how ever high a number that got (really I think it was 6, which is bad in its own right.)

I do not expect OOTPB 2006 to be as unplayable at CM4 was. CM4 was bad, CM 03/04 so-so, FM 2005, great, FM 2006 brilliant, FM 2007....divine?

Here's to that

No worries... All I'm trying to say is that we do not leave things like this away on purpose. I have coded this game from the ground up, no code at all was used from prior versions, so I had a completely new design document. That means that some things have been left out because of time restrictions. But don't worry, sooner or later features that have been in previous versions will be back, better than ever. It just takes time to code them... remember, it took me 6 years to get to where OOTP 6.5 was.

If it had worked, think of the possibilities.

Thank you Markus. I trust you in that this new incarnation of OOTP will indeed far surpass the old in nearly or all forms that we will look back at these transitional times and laugh at how worried we all, or most, were.

I like to pick on Cras, but I really don't hate the White Sox, nor White Sox fans. I know a lot of Cub fans do, but not me.

I was just raised to understand the truth: the American League is a creation of Satan.

Must be your compiler.

LOL...ok, who's in favor of having 2 more limbs attached to Markus to give him the amount of hands he needs? With all the people here, we surely have enough money to pool together to get it done.

A Vishnu Markus?

Scary, scary thought.

I don't hate Cras either, just...well its hard to explain, just look at my sig

PS. I used to go to WS games when I was a kid back in the late 70's so I can't totally hate them

[Mattymo]

I think Markus needs to code himself an extra hand

[**hands+2] should do it, Markus.

[Bear54]

So Markus, will we have to start anew if these features are implemented again or will the history stored be enough to be shown on these screens? (Am I making sense here, I hope, LOL... )

We have good fun, and after all that is what baseball is all about.

Oh, I fixed your quote by the way. Now it makes sense.

Can't wait for the second leg of the Crosstown Classic either. It is going to be intense.
