Gearing up for a big update... - Page 14

A list of records a player holds in the "History" tab on a Player Profile.

There's Accomplishments that show awards and totals - maybe we can have another tab under History that has Records Held?

Two checkable boxes or something of the like on the player strategy page which prevents a prospect from being demoted/promoted.

I have one goal, but a few different ways to possibly go about it.

I hate seeing CEIs and would love to turn them off completely despite the fact that I do believe they have a place in a baseball simulation.

a) ability to turn off CEIs...barring this;
b) ability to stop simulating or receive a "Personal Message" with a CEI to ANY player, not just one from your own team so that you can edit it out without having the player be released and therefore having to figure out what kind of contract the player had before so you can put him back on his original team
bb) prohibit the AI from releasing players with CEIs immediately...perhaps have a set date at the end of the season where any player with a CEI is released...this way, I don't have to wade through news items to see who has had such an injury

This would be the single most helpful new feature for me.

There's a modded injury file available that eliminates CEIs, you may be interested in that-

Spend the necessary time to make sure that MLB expansion drafts really do work correctly.

I'd like to see that.

funkadillo · 05-08-2010, 11:22 AM

I'd like to be able to create our own custom ratings. So for example I could add contact potential + eye potential + power potential into one rating to help me make decisions during the draft.

When managing a game I'd like a check box to be able to tell the runners to activate on a full count (with less than 2 outs).

On the player strategy screen I'd like these options:
For pitchers - "Do not allow them to be used when tired" (particularly important for relievers)
For batters - "Always take on a 3-0 count." Likewise options for 2-0 counts and 3-1 counts for particularly horrid batters with a bad eye. It'd likely lead to a slightly lower average but a slightly higher on base percentage.

I realize there's a modded injury file, but the setbacks that end careers are still annoying me.

I agree with this one!!! If anyone has ever played Front Office Football, they have on each player page a little box that lists (if they qualify) all of there accomplishments and Where they stand on there teams All-Time leader board and the Leagues All-Time leader board. That would be cool

spitfire · 05-08-2010, 03:38 PM

We now have 14 pages of good suggestions, some big, some small. Will there at some point be a cut off, or will this thread go on indefinitely and essentially duplicate the "Suggestions for the next version of OOTP" thread? Will we get a non-binding list of which suggestions are being worked on for inclusion in the big update? I'm fine with it whatever happens. Just wondering what the plan is.

Matches · 05-08-2010, 04:31 PM

Add pitcher stamina history to the pitcher scouting report history.

Running speed for hitters would be nice too.

endgame · 05-08-2010, 04:46 PM

Good work on the degree of participation and response to this thread. The only area I'd be concerned with at this point is that the major areas of "fixes" are addressed with the appropriate format. As Steve indicated in this first post, "our primary intent for the update is to squash any issues we are aware of, which means issues that have been submitted through our support center."

This means, categorically, if there's no ticket, if there's no accomodating individual who has been steered to enter this in Project Tools, or if you just think it won't matter what you do then you're right: it won't matter. Because it won't get looked at.

Keep the suggestions and ideas flowing, trying to recall also that they should be easily implemented in a short period of time if possible, and remember they are secondary to getting rid of anything that simply doesn't work like it's intended. I'm still pleased with the release and, in general, pleased with the responses and level of thoughtfulness which have accompanied those posts! Keep it up!

Yes!!! One of the many things I love about FOF. If this was in OOTP I, well, would be very happy.

A plan? On the OOTP forums?

+1 on that. Long overdue.

Another +1. Yes it would be cool.

A lock for spots in the line-up, and a lock for spots on the pitching staff.

Indeed, hopefully someone in authority chimes in here soon!
