More advanced stats like wOBA (weighted on-base average), OPS+, ERA+ and FIP (fielding independent pitching)

Swoon.

well shoot...guess it's time for me to change my board signature now that there will be a mass select feature!
Excited to play with the expanded draft options...will make the draft much more interesting and my job as a GM a bit more challenging

We had it in Earl Weaver. It rocked. There's nothing better for testing an engine or changes to the game.

Agreed, clone tool would be great! That way we can finally properly test the Gload Code by having a team of all Ross Gloads.

Great news. Sounds like the development team listens and responds very well.

bosunmate · 02-03-2010, 10:35 AM

Thanks Markus glad to hear your feeling better...

ootpmania · 02-03-2010, 10:42 AM

Thanks Markus.

and I would like suggest about foreign players limit in roster rules.

I made the Korean baseball league roster set and I was applied foreign players limit : 2 players.

then AI scouted foreign players more than foreign players limit and 2 players of them were playing in a game.

Japanese baseball league is just like that.

but in Korean baseball league, each team scouts only 2 players.

manager can demote foreign palyers to minors.

but total number of foreign palyers is only 2 in one affiliated teams.

so I want to apply KBO's foreign players rule perfectly in my roster set.

could you help me?

Holy crap what a great list so far.

Make it so I can import more than one historical player from a database at once and I'm in heaven.

johnnybourbon · 02-03-2010, 11:24 AM

those improvements in the draft are friggin amazing!

YoungEagle · 02-03-2010, 11:31 AM

I'm exicted that it will be coming out earlier than previous versions.

Agreed. Crossing my fingers for WAR in OOTP 11.

These 2 alone may make OOTP 11 worth it if they are done well.

Mass select makes it worth the upgrade all by itself.

Also quite useful if you're making custom ballparks to make sure they play as you want them to.

And this gives me hope for what's to come. Can't wait.

very nice - this game just keeps getting better and better...

Tycobbler · 02-03-2010, 03:01 PM

Thanks Markus, and glad you're feeling better.

mass select. mass select. mass select.

mgom27 · 02-03-2010, 03:33 PM

I like the All the new Draft Features.

Cloning would be good because lets say you want A-Rod on your Team the maybe Tempe Ack's or what ever you call them and still the Yankees to without having to do other things to do that.

Know all we need to know is if Minor League Team Contract with a MLB Team is including and also the missing Spring Training Features and so on are to.

I get the feeling that's all that's going to be talked about. Unfortunately for Markus it's going to come under a lot of scrutiny too.

Good to see the high-school feeding college thing. Now we only need to get Winter leagues working right.
