Throwing/Batting Hand Missing. Please Fix!

djnate27 · 04-04-2013, 01:36 AM

I love iOOTP. I've bought it every year within the hour it gets released. I just found something that makes iOOTP 13 unplayable (for me).

On the in game "Select a Pitcher" & "Select a Player" screens, they've removed the column for Throwing Hand. Now you can't tell what 'handed any of your players are.

Developers, please fix and resubmit as soon as possible.
Thanks.

I'm a bit lost here. We did not change the part of the game. If I look at iOOTP 2012 and compare it with 2013 I see the same results (including the Bats/Throws info).

Would it be possible to post (or send me) a screenshot so I can verify the exact screen we are talking about?

You can see the pitching throwing hand if you select the "Pitching Ratings" View when selecting a new player (tab the "VIEW" button at the bottom right). It is exactly the same as in iOOTP 2012.

If you are the one giving us that 1-star review in the AppStore, please change that rating. Thank you.

Some tool rated the game a 1 because you cannot see the handed ness of the pitcher. It's funny to see how far the definition of 'broken' can be stretched nowadays.

I have no sympathy for it.
It occurs a "little" problem - it reports this to the forum - and those responsible will reply immediately, yet almost in the same minute - and yet someone is so impatient and angry that he forgive just a star.

In the German / European App Store you'll find currently no review.
I can't see App stores of other countries.
I would be interested to the comment of this user.

I have full understanding for people to rate the game as they think it deserves but to give it 1* because one feature may not work as intended (and in this case it was just a misunderstanding) is pretty harsh.

People might not understand how important the reviews are for small companies like us. A good overall rating will help to sell the game and more sales will give us the opportunity to make new versions.

So please, before you rate the game negatively because of a bug, post here and we try to explain/fix/tweak/whatever it. Thats why we are here ...

I gave it 1* also, sorry...I'll change it when I see iPhone 5 support, or a commitment that it will absolutely be available in the first update.

Thanks.

To quote myself: "Another "good" news: Apple forces us to support Retina + iPhone 5 screensize so expect it in the game in the near future" (posted on 3/28/2013 in the Apple submit thread).

As Markus already told you we do not advertise with iPhone 5 support, it is not shown on the App-Store page (exactly as it has to be).

Looks like they just moved it from the Batter Rating/Pitcher Rating screen to the Default View screen. That's an extra screen I'll need view.

I'll re-rate the game now.

Are you on an iPad? Because on my iPhone I can see the throwing hand in the pitcher ratings view...

Yes, I am on the iPad.

It's in a different place on the iPhone than it is on the iPad.

On the iPad you have to go to "Default View".
On the iPhone is on the "Batter Rating" & "Pitcher Rating" Screens.

I hadn't really played these on my iPad until today, so I kind of freaked out when I didn't see it at first.
