I wouldn't take one user's opinion on it.

Such a minor thing, but not having to change the control settings for offense, defense and base running every game is wonderful.

Friend, each of us has only one user's opinion on anything. Why, I've expressed mine 8,592 times now! Yes, sorry, I forgot "IMHO" in that post of my one user's opinion.

I have seen this happen on more than a few occasions in real life MLB games.

"Added a "Delete all available personnel" function to the league transaction screen (must be in commissioner mode)"

Thank you!!! I was dying for this feature.

Heh, point was that I wasn't seeing more than one person saying they weren't playing it due to supposed game-breaking bugs introduced in the patch

[chriskerry]

Any ideas when the update will filter through to us who have bought OOTP through the Mac App Store?

List of fixes / improvements in version 13.5.22 that I like most:

1) Added an option to the in-game options to set the play-by-play font size
2) Added a "Quick play to RISP" button to the in-game screen, it quick-sims the game until there are runners in scoring position or the half-inning is over
3) Added an option to the league standing screen to select a date for the displayed standings, enabling users to examine past standings
4) Added a "Delete all available personnel" function to the league transaction screen (must be in commish mode)
5) Teams no longer sign foreign coaches when the league prohibits foreign players

My thoughts on these...

1) A Home Run!
2) A Hit!
3) A Home Run!
4) A Hit!
5) A Hit!

Markus is named Player of the Game for this single game performance.

Thanks for these superb additions.

Could I just add that this is really important for players of online leagues that upload league files having used the updated versions...

You are quite right, and this is something I don't suspect will bother too many people to be honest. Not many people sim one day at a time, and do so in bunches. My system can handle it with ease, and it affords me the luxury of being able to sit and watch the standings screen with the league leaders and watch it evolve, and progress. And it is a habit I have become very entrenched in, that so far trying to sim the game anyother way has proved to be quite unsatisfactory.

I know many people will not see this as a game breaker, which is why I purposefully came on here to express my concern over it, lest it would go on unnoticed.

I love the other bug fixes and the added features, but this really bothers me, and on top of it, it seems to be a not so well developed/implemented feature. I say that because, 1.) the bug I already mentioned, 2.) the drop down menu allows me to pick dates into the future. Sloppy in my opinion.

And it is also a built up frustration with this game. It was good enough for me out of the box to enjoy, then a patch which breaks the off-season center, a pretty annoying bug for me, but alas, enough to play on, a bit.
Then it gets fixed, but totally breaks personnel contract extensions, that brought my simming to a halt.
That gets fixed, but only to find this latest bug, which seems to have enough friction to grind my simming to a halt. And here we are in August.

I just want to let my frustrations known in hope that another patch can be prepared before the team goes into full v14 mode here.

Now with the "Act as GM" mode introduced, I really want to play this game.

One more time:

You cannot have a play where anyone is thrown out at home on a wild pitch as it is not possible. MLB rules clearly state that if an out occurs on what would normally be ruled as a wild pitch or passed ball (as in throwing someone out at home), then it's not a wild pitch or a passed ball because an out was made on the play.

Ask for something else, because what you are asking for does not happen in baseball.

[Cras]

You talking at me? Because I so am not talking about wild pitches here.

Please fix this. This is how I play the game, how I have always played the game, and it now not working anymore is extremly irritating, among other things......

This complaint should be posted in the bug report thread. No matter, though. I filed a bug report for it (although I doubt the developer will act on it until October).

EDIT: Aaaargh. Post interpositioning robs all meaning! Thanks, pstickert. Thanks a lot.

Sorry but I agree with The Wolf on this, so I guess there are other who find the way it is done right now is exactly the way it works in real life.

I fully agree.. kind of just seems like it was thrown in there. I'm glad it's there, but it also has previous years listed and nothing displays - which I assume it will only work going forward?

I like it, don't get me wrong.. something just seems off with it.

You are provably wrong and you are insulting someone who is provably right. Go read the official rules carefully and learn what the facts are before you starting slinging mud.

Why would I be talking to you? There's a whole thread here. Besides, I almost always agree with you.

Well he is right. A wild pitch means runners advance. If you want this added as a play that is fine but it should be called "ball gets away from a catcher and a runner is thrown out trying to advance."

Just find some stats so we know how often it actually happens. I have looked and I cant locate the percentage of times this actually happens. It serves as no addition to the game if it is added incorrectly.
