Simple ball flights! I like it!!

Like the replays as well.. for a solo player that likes to sim sometimes.. would be great to go back to say.. a no-hitter and relive that day!

That's exactly what this is meant for

This is a dream come true for me.

That replay feature is great for online leagues. Thanks Markus!

Neags23 · 06-05-2008, 11:43 AM

Markus, am I missing something, or is the screenshot for the replay feature supposed to be missing lineup stats and player ratings on the field?

Simply awesome Markus!

Any chance that we could get a short video clip of the new ball flight feature?! I know I know.....the more you give, the more we want!!

dcpcarmona · 06-05-2008, 11:44 AM

very,very,very nice!

are these new player boxes? If so I really like them - much cleaner looking.

Its too early to tell but ::COUGH:: ::COUGH:: I think I'm gonna be sick Wednesday June 18 and maybe Thursday June 19.

Great news! I wonder if I'll be able to get the ball animations to work with the 2D ballbarks that I use from DMB, but I think it should be pretty close. Those 2D parks work just fine with the player placements on the field.

Dargone · 06-05-2008, 11:56 AM

Good stuff, pre-ordered a few days ago

PotatoPeeler · 06-05-2008, 11:58 AM

Shouldn't this thread be in some sort of OOTP9 forum?

Yeah, and Friday too. You can't be too careful these days with these viruses. Wouldn't want to spread that stuff around. ACHHEEEW.
See what I mean?

The game flips the players into that reduced mode when there's a ball in play. When there's no ball in play the player indicators are the old style.

nice - sounds like a great solution. can't wait to see it.

I think I will be sick as well on 6/18 and 6/19 - but seeing as I am self-employed I don't have to worry about the boss being suspicious.
