Even though these were screwed up, I finally pre-ordered. I've been kicking it around for months now and I just figured that I would buy it the day it came out but after seeing these, I ordered. New lap-top and computer on pay-day .

Also, I know that the majority of players in the majors are American, but the percentage seems a little high in the FBL. I imagine that this is customizable?

Huh, that is weird. Maybe this was because of the bug issue today.

What level league is that team on?

I would like to see some simple things added in the almanac before I pre-pay.

I hope the following is caused by the bug issue.

This guy had his best season in 2008 becomes a free agent and signs a 3-year contract worth a total of $74,300,000 with a team in Rookie League.

He's not the only one like this.

wow, i'm as happy as anyone to see these reports, but there are so many issues for this close to release....

one of the many things i've noticed is that there are two Boston teams in the league...however, both have the same abbreviation....so that's problem, since one can't determine what team a person was on...something needs to be implemented in the likes of 'NYY' vs 'NYM'...or even 'BOS1' and 'BOS2'


also...for this player: http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ayer_4575.html ....Pusan's located in South Korea..should it say South Korea in the parenthesis and not Pusan?
EDIT: oh nevermind...i just noticed that the nation just isn't listed in the player profile...i'd think that that would be important as well..

Not sure aboutt he money issue, that seems to big a bit much (24-25 millionish per year) but I'm pretty sure that the Rookie League part is thanks to the bug. I believe that their problem was that they didn't set up minor league affiliates properly. Because of that, the guy who was in rookie league couldn't be sent to A, AA, AAA, and then the majors, like a normal player would. (Or, in this case, the Rookie league team was competing with the major league team, and signed the guy) At least that's what I took Markus's comments to mean. It's also probably why they kept releasing the players, because they weren't ready to play in the majors right after the draft, and the teams had nowhere to send them for seasoning.

Oh, man.. What a year this guy had in 2008(I don't know if someone pointed it out, but could ya put the year in the career batting stats.. it's everywhere else, but there), third year down. He was having a fantastic year in 300 AB's.

Batting .394, .536 OBP, 32 Homers, in short, he was smackin' the **** out of the ball until he got hurt.

Does this mean we get two TRTRs tomorrow?

When looking at players hitting with 0-1, 1-1, counts, etc... Some players have BB with counts without 3 balls in them. (hehe) I figured they could be hit by pitches, BUT shouldn't that be in its own category?

The reference to a player "injured on a defensive play" makes me think of someone getting kicked in the head during a tackle.

Perhaps more detail like "throwing the ball", "hit by ball taking a bad bounce," or "spiked by player breaking up double play," "twisted ankle after jumping for ball," etc, might replace the general "defensive play" reference.

Am I missing something, or are there no SB/CS stats in each Player Report?

Mr Alignment reporting for duty!

On roster pages such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ster_page.html
the POB gives only the city name and not the state name. But my sense is that the state needs to be included for, at least, USA players. Sees odd to me otherwise.

Do the POB need to be on this page? Would not nationality be enough for roster page?

Plus on the roster pages it might be unnecessary to have the team column (as all players are on the same team) and it takes up a lot of space across the page. (Unless as noted below the minor league team a player is on is listed.)

And more: I guess the numbers to the left are the player number. Is this really necessary information? And, in any case, when a player has a single digit player number, the name of the player is misaligned with the other player names. All should be aligned on the first letter of the last name.

Do player weights really have to be rounded to the nearest 5 lbs? 192 is a fine player weight to me and having the rounded numbers makes the data look fake to me.

On the roster page: http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ster_page.html
the player name and position in the disabled list is aligned wrong. General formatting problem for DL players. On another disabled player list the names are aligned correctly.

I didn't see on the homepage for a team a link to their minor league teams as give in the transactions page in the current version of OOTP. I might be missing something but how do we go from the team page to pages for the affiliated minor league teams or MLB teams?

Plus on the roster page the team listed for all players on the 40-man list is the ML club. Should not the minor league team be listed for players on the 40-man who are in the minors?

Yet more: on the financial pages such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...al_report.html
the totals for things such as "projected balance" should be in the same font as the other numbers. Because the font changes the dollar numbers get out of alignment, which bother folks like me.

On player pages such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ayer_9270.html the "born in" data has "Los Angeles (California)" when more common would be "Los Angeles, California" with a comma. You might even use CA, etc, for state rather than spelling it out.

On the player pages the data for batting and running/bunting ratings are too spread out to permit quick viewing. Too much space between the columns slows down the reader. Same comment can be make for a number of data columns in which too much space separates the data name for the data to the right. I like my numbers closer together (although not bunched up).

Fielding ratings on player pages should be alligned on the ones digit.

Player report page, the column of "contract:/Salary:/Signed Through:/etc" might be best right aligned.

Player page report, batting ratings with headings "Contact" and "Gap" etc: you might have the numbers below these have their one digits center aligned. That is, the numbers under "Contact" should line up under the "a" of "contact" rather than the "t" of that word.

On player page, the data names: April, May, June, etc might be right alligned.

Prospect page for team: "Pos" data missing. http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...prospects.html

Prospect page: the age data for batters and pitchers should be alligned on the same column (and as much as possible the same for other data columns). For that matter, the "#" of the prospect and names are not alligned between batters and pitchers.

Alignment problems also in fielding reports as on http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ing_stats.html where as much as possible data for "G" etc should be aligned down the page.

I understand you might be trying to address possible long names, but there sure is a lot of white space between the name of the player and the fielding data on the fielding data page.

On the schedule page (such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...chedule_7.html ) that sure is a deep red color. A more muted color might do the job.

On all pages with "GB" games behind you might consider having the numbers aligned on the tenths place.

I wonder if on data pages such as free agents such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ts_report.html whether you might have an occasionally repeat of the horizontal headings because as you move down a massive number of players you can easily lose trade of what the data is in the different columns.

It bugs me that on, for instance, roster pages such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ster_page.html that LF is out of alignment with RF and CF.

On some pages the position "C" appears below, for instance, the "B" in 1B. But on other pages "C" appears below the "1" in "1B." Does this set the standard for noting unimportant things?

On Team Power rankings such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...ings_page.html the "tendency" information is missing and I'm not sure whether the information for "last week" should be.

Top Performances such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...formances.html has data misaligned and no "score" information listed for batters. And the team names, etc, for batter and pitchers should really be aligned.

In box scores such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/..._box_2887.html the RBI and HR data should be left aligned. Should the attendance figure have a comma to make reading it more easy?

In same box score the pitcher data for PI and PS is center aligned for one team and right aligned for the other team. I see this varies by box score for other games.

Do you want some weather information in the box score? Temp, winds etc?

I assume the PbP link was not included for these box scores.

Bug in Career hitting

Haven't seen this posted, but in the Career batting stats, the year is not listed (with the exception of when the guy was traded).

Player report for pitchers, such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...yer_11993.html
the pitches the player throws are too far to right with ending semicolon.

On same page the leaderboard appearances it seems CGP is off (and on other pages too).

Doesn't seem like many shutouts thrown in this league.

On Top Peformances do you want team abbreviations instead of full name?

On Player Page don't you need country?

On http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...players_Z.html "PUR" is a country. Should this be "PR"?

ON Team index page such as http://reports.ootpbaseball2006.com/...m_8_index.html it seems team attendence moves extremely over a couple of years. For instance, from 3.6m in 2006 to 0.8m in 2011. Other teams have similar movements in attendance.

If IOC codes or similar are used, it is actually correct, PUR is the three letter designation for Puerto Rico.
