Two Things that bother me...

Cap · 02-03-2006, 06:20 PM

I dislike the MENU selector on the right. I keep opening it by accident when I try to scroll down.

I also dislike the CANCEL button at the bottom right when I'm running a fight card. Twice now I've cancelled a card halfway through because I clicked on that by mistake. It should be moved, or the game should ask you if you really intend to quit your fight card.

P.S. Sorry if I upset any "fanboys", but I hope the static graphics will be revamped in the RP version, because I don't see it being done in present one.

Good suggestions Cap, I think we are probably stuck with right hand side menu, however a confirmation before quiting should be easy to add.

There is one thing that has always aggrivated me. It's a biggie! Are you ready......

In the "Organizations page" where we can look at rankings, title histories, title bouts, etc. It really disturbs me that when I look at the rankings I see my Champion listed as:

"Heavyweight champion GBA"

Two things:
1. If the "c" in champion were capitailized, it would look sooooo much better!
2. It would look better if it read, "GBA Heavyweight Champion"

Okay, so these are really not BIGGIES. My eyes are weirdly drawn to it though everytime I go to that page.

I know I'm nit picking a wonderful game. Hey, you guys have already solved my two biggest complaints: Aging and Ranking. I gotta gripe about something!

Cap · 02-04-2006, 10:40 AM

Yeah. Little things like that bug me too, sometimes. Might be the language barrier between ourselves and some of the developers. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

I find myself bridling when I look at some of the stat screens that remind me of an accountant's spreadsheets, instead of something out of a boxing magazine, which would be cool. Guess I was hoping that the latest patch would have some bones for me there.

It would be nice if the actual fight screen mentioned it was a title fight. If we can't have an announcer, how about listing the title and the weights for each fighter? If I had to choose between that and seeing the ring card girl, I'd pick fight details.

Thanks for mentioning this! I've added a "Do you really want to cancel?" dialog to tournament, head to head and fight card screen now.

Cap · 02-05-2006, 01:09 PM

Thanks for one of three, Andreas. I'll keep my fingers crossed that one day the others will be attended to.

Thanks Andreas!

I know you are spread thin like cheese on a cracker. Thanks for fixing some of the little things! Great Job!

That's optional now. You can configure it to open only when you click on it.

Where do you configure it? Do you go into the db.ini file?

Thanks again, Andreas. What other game design team responds so quickly! Amazing! If there is a game designers version of the Hall of Fame, you guys deserve to be in it.

Now if we can just get Andreas to make the playboy photos of Regina Halmich as the default background photo, we'd be all set!!!!!

I think the actual fight-related screens should remain pretty much the same, though I like the idea of having height and weight under the fighters' name and display the title with belt when it's on the line. The Fighters List needs to be fixed somehow. I think making it look like a page from The Ring would be cool. The individual boxer's page should also be black text on white with fighter's pic and any belt he holds, although here my preference would be to just display unified championships, to give them added prestige. The individual fighter's history should be on this page too. Some of the stuff on the present page only needs to be seen when you first set up the fighter, or you could move it to the Stats section.
