Can we still zoom the player's pictures out like before?

omniart · 01-20-2012, 08:21 PM

Wow! The redesigned screens look awesome. I love the increased playoff and league association functionality and having fewer pure relievers in the draft. Looks great, guys!

I only mention this because it is at least the third time you have asked about this after getting a response from Markus on the forums and it even being listed in features. I have even linked the post that has 90% of these answers in your suggestions thread and some one else has too. 90% of your list has been addressed more than once. At least kill the control v and only put the new stuff in. It makes it look like you are just trolling when you repaste the same list with additions over and over after answers have been given more than once.

Np. These longer threads can be unmanageable sometimes. I just happened to have read all of this one.

About half of my points have not been answered, and one was answered incorrectly.

In addition, my understanding is that (with the two DH-related points being exceptions) he was addressing my points as it relates to OOTP12, NOT definitively stating if something would change for OOTP13. I am wondering about fixes for OOTP13, and seeing as it is an unfinished product, plans easily could have been altered.

Have you read the features list? It clearly states that the DH entering the field is a new feature. Do a little reading before you ask. Even the first time you asked Markus told you personally that it was fixed in 13. If half your points have been answered can you redact the list to the ones that have not been answered so some one might actually read it after seeing the first point has been answered in the features list of the pre-order and it doesn't waste so much space?

I'm with you here, would love to see this!

Was it just suggestion or a report that there would be some thing that loaded ethnicity, baseball levels etc. by decade? Maybe something I wished for and thought I read?

CoachDirty · 01-20-2012, 09:10 PM

To be honest, I was buying 13 even if it had no new features. But I'm very excited about the League Associations! Well done sir!

The merge of actual and potential ratings display looks nice, but does it mean the scales for both ratings need to be the same? It would be nice to have the option to keep them on different scales, but still have the display overlap.

Plaese I have various questions about:

1): National team competitions (world and continental)

2): Tournaments with pool play and knockout (best-of-1 playoffs) play for clubs

3): Tie-breaking procedures, especially for the named competitions

4): It will be possible add more than one same-league team for the ultimate national/world championship?

5): It's possible in OOTP13 round-robin playoffs? (a la Venezuelan League)

Bowtie · 01-20-2012, 09:38 PM

Before I get to the advice I want to say to Markus, Andreas and the rest of the development team from what I've seen in the screenshots of V13 this is going to be one killer of a game. I love what I've seen so far. I can't wait for April to get here!

Now to the advice. To those of you who do decide to pre-order, when you complete your purchase you might want to write down your Order Number(s) and your Serial Number(s) and keep it in a safe place where you know it is at or to those that use the Windows OS perhaps copy and paste them into a Notepad file on your desktop. I say this in hopes that when the game is released to those that pre-ordered, we in Customer Support aren't inundated with requests for us to look up your Serial Number.

I have mine written down and pasted into a Notepad file. Do you have yours?

Cheers!

jmount78 · 01-20-2012, 09:55 PM

Just pre-ordered! From a OOTP newbie, the screens look a lot easier to follow and I think will make the game easier to play for newcomers!

I know it was a suggestion and a cool idea, at least. I would really like to see this put in.

I don't recall anything like that offhand, but that sounds like a great idea.

Based on how Markus talked about it in the past I had zero hope for this even making it in. It wasn't even on my mind as a possibility. So this is fantastic news.
