2 Questions for Markus

Andy · 05-29-2008, 09:40 AM

Markus seems to be around a lot and open to answering questions, so I thought I would give it a shot. I like to only manage my team and let the AI control any demotions, trades and signings.

1. Has the issue where a lot of players are shuffled around in the minors on a human team when the AI controls the minors? http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ion-issue.html

2. With the easier Scouting system in OOTP9, I am going to give it a shot. Like I said, I only like to manage my team. If I have the "Create and Maintain Hidden Players" option checked, will my team sign these players? From what I have heard in OOTP8, I would have to intervene for this to happen.

Thanks!

1. Have not seen this in my testing, so it appears to be fixed.
2. You get a report when the scout discovers somebody, you can then manually offer a contract. The AI does not sign these plays on its own when you control the team.

Cheers,
Markus

Markus,

In OOTP9 will A/I managed teams scout for and find hidden players as well as human managed ones?

Will every coach have a different manager tendencies and different strategy when drafting players when control by the AI?

Sure, but that has been the case since OOTP 2006

I also like managing a minor league team, and in V7-8 the roster was decimated by the GM. If its fixed, managing a minor league team will be more realistic. I follow a Single A team in the Midwest league, and a player going up or down is common, not wholesale roster changes. We will see-Thanks
