What do you mean with encyclopedia? Isn't the history & almanac enough?

Will there be "warmer" skins? Looks very sharp, but reminds me of winter!

But I have a report due on space!

This is looking like it'll be the best OOTP release in my time associated with the game! We'll see if it can finally take down OOTPX as my favorite, but right now it's really looking promising!

SO EXCITED

Yes, we'll have two more skins. One dark one, and one classic one with a historic look.

All of this looks pretty cool

I'm specially interested in:

"A new in-game screen that merges the widget screen with the broadcast screen and automatically utilizes the available screen space in an optimal way."

We certainly could use a screenshot of that

Once this is 100% completed I'll post a screenshot of this, but don't expect it for another 4-5 weeks.

I'm excited for this one too. Really hoping team finances work much better than in the past...especially out of the box.

Also hoping that real life ball parks will be available for fictional leagues with BP factors already calculated (at least somewhat realistically). It takes quite a while to go through and change all those settings for doubles, triples, HR, etc.

ShaneCarson · 01-20-2012, 04:22 PM

Looks fantastic. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to play OOTP12 because the finances are just a mess for my leagues.

Anyway, I think this feature list is the most impressive we've had for years. And the new Real Time Simulation mode is simply revolutionary and totally rocks.

But, as I have learned during all those the years, we cannot please everybody

What about players having to pass through waivers before he could be traded out of the league like they used to do before 1950.

Cryomaniac · 01-20-2012, 04:24 PM

Looks cool. Looks like there are more default logos than Dolphins and Bulldogs too

gentlemanofleisure · 01-20-2012, 04:25 PM

Markus, love the playoffs being expanded and league association, thanks!

IS there a chance we can get pitchers being able to learn a new pitch sometime in their careers?

Yes, but this is already a feature of OOTP 12. Sometimes pitchers learn a new pitch and hence improve their stuff.

But in OOTP 13 this can be a result of a storyline too...

cephasjames · 01-20-2012, 04:29 PM

League associations!!

Yeah!

I want to get a better understanding of whether it's what I'm hoping for, but still, yeah!

BlitzburghBucco · 01-20-2012, 04:32 PM

What about regional leagues that were promoted before the last OOTP 12 patch, but never came to fruition?

Harry Chiti · 01-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Quick question -

Wishlist question

Will there be a place on each player page where I can designate an organizational role for each player and than sort them by such designation?

Eg - Star, Regular, AAAA replacement/backup, bluechip prospect, promising youngster, organizational fodder?

It would be nice to be able to bring this info up in an instant for an organizational standpoint -

eg) when sorting thru your major league team and endless minor league teams, in a trade or pre-draft release situation (or just to ensure that the 'right' minor leaguers are getting started)...rather than having to click on each player to check your 'notes'

Those are actually logos from my collection.

cephasjames · 01-20-2012, 04:39 PM

I really like the logo and player pictures with the transparent backgrounds.
