Back to work! :)

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hey guys,

we've returned from 'vacation' and are back to work now. The plan is to fix some more bugs now and then create another beta build of version 13.6, and if no issues crop up, that version will be officially released next week. If there are any pressing issues you'd like to see fixed, please post here and I'll take a look at it in case it has not been reported & tracked before.

Meanwhile, the Apple AppStore version of OOTP 13.6 has finally been approved by Apple (that was a major PITA, sorry guys) and is now available as an update.

Once OOTP 13.6 is out, we will probably move to OOTP 14 development! Time flies, and we have to make sure we can release it around Opening Day again next year 2012 has been a very good year for our company, and we hope to further improve in 2013!

Thanks for all your support guys!

Markus

Welcome back, hope the batteries are recharged.

Welcome back Markus. I hope everything is fine and you still have fun.

So back to business: I'd like to see the ability to stack scouting reports at some point. Being able to let the scout take a look at only one player at a time is really slowing things down. There should still be some time between two scouting reports though.

[OutS|der]

Welcome back

Will the ability to turn a league into a working feeder make it in this time?

[Bluenoser]

Welcome back Markus.

Any chance of getting a "Suggestions" Forum added once you start work on 14?

Tks

[PSUColonel]

best version to date!! Welcome back!!

There's this issue I'd like to see fixed.

It's not game breaking, but it's annoying.

[The Wolf]

Welcome back. I also have some suggestions for OOTP 14, but they'll certainly keep until the Suggestions box is opened.

It's good to have you back on the job.

[ShaneCarson]

Nice to have you back!

Now if only I could find time to play the game. I spend more time on these boards than I do playing, and I'm hardly on these boards!

[hopeful1212]

Welcome back Markus. Only thing I'd like to see fixed are some of the real-time sim problems. Mainly when there's an error. For example, if a pitcher throws a pick-off throw away and the runner(s) advances, it'll say that the runner was picked off. I think I'm still seeing some other problems like that, but that's the one that sticks in my mind. I'm using 13.6 Build 23.

[SportsFan00]

IF it's not too time wasting I'd LOVE to see an updated or AT LEAST a tweaked roster.. I'm not really worried about the trades that have went on during the year, mainly about those who've been released,free agents signed,people not in the game coming from nowhere,etc.. Also if BABIP can be added to offensive stats(if it's not already)

it's not a big deal.. but in real time simulation i STILL have the same problem... where it goes from 11 59 PM to 12 PM instead of going to 12 AM.

[eriqjaffe]

Not a huge deal, but I think it would be nice if you could designate All-Star Starters.

More importantly, it would great if you could force the AI to use players at their primary position in the ASG. Take the recent OTBA All-Star game as an example:

http://www.otbaonline.com/OTBA/otbar..._box_5325.html

In the Heinsohn League: Doug Church (1B) is an outfielder and Karl England (3B) is a second baseman,

In the Kuffrey League: Jefferey Davis (3B) is a second baseman and Guy Erickson (LF) is a catcher.

Sure, all the players had ratings at the positions, but they weren't voted in to the ASG in those positions. Players playing in the "wrong" outfield spot is a little less of a big deal, but an outfielder at first base and a catcher in the outfield? That wouldn't happen IRL, especially amongst the starting lineup.

[Gazzw87]

A tab or section that displays the league rules - Import Limit, Salary cap ect. On the league standings or some type page.

For instance, I decide to play with the Taiwan league, to check the rules I have to keep going into options - league set-up just to do a simple check. Not 'game breaking' as people put but it would make it easier!

[VanillaGorilla]

Black and gray ink totals for season and career, please. Thanks.

The ability to turn existing leagues into working feeders.

Seriously, guys. This is the crux of his statement. Not feature requests, but issues that may not be in the Bug Reports (that pstrickert has faithfully been logging the majoriy) or those that risk being overlooked because they seem small, but have larger impact. Thanks to the couple of you mentioning existing concerns.

Time and again, we hear the "why isn't this fixed yet" or the "I can't believe this is still...", and sometimes it's because these kinds of inquiries derail into feature requests instead. No harm, no foul, just saying, this is the chance. Take it. FWIW

I've noticed something with scouting reports and how they show on a players profile page under scouting reports and in the player development report.

When we hit the amateur draft everyone was scouted and had the 6/1/98 scout listed under their scouting reports. On 7/21/98 I requested a report on a player and this new scouting report replaced the 6/1/98 scouting report instead of the 6/1/98 report dropping down in the list. When I look at the Player Development report the 7/21/98 report shows as the current for the player but the 6/1/98 report does not show as the previous report, it goes all the way back to 3/18/98 for the previous report.

See Mermella in this screenshot:



Is this how it has always worked or has it changed?

[PSUColonel]

One thing I've noticed is that many times the play by play displays the wrong batting average

Truth. Look for any new features in 14, I'd say at this point. Better that way, if it means 14 comes out "on time." Also, nicer. Why? Because 14 will be that much more to look forward to. At this point, I think the OOTPD team is aware of the current major feature requests that are also feasible. Let's let them get cracking on 14.

Listen to Endgame. Got any bug reports to make? As in feature not working as intended? Make them. But save the suggestions for changes and new features to the future OOTP 14 Suggestions forum.
