Small font is so hard on the eyes

Antonin · 09-30-2013, 10:54 PM

OOTP12 was the last time I purchased the game. I have not played it in a long while, but tonight I installed it on the laptop and began playing the MLB quickstart.

It's very enjoyable--and runs better on my laptop than on my recently deceased desktop--but the skinny font is really, really hard on my middle-aged eyes.

I hope that as Markus moves forward with this great franchise he will not forget that at least some of his customers are not exactly young.

I have found myself spending more time with earlier versions of OOTP. OOTP8 is particularly easy on the eye.

You can increase the font size.

I thank you for taking the time to reply, but it would have been much more helpful if you had said:

"You can increase the font size--here's how."

or

"You can increase the font size--but I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it."

I guess my mistake is in expecting strangers to follow basic rules of courtesy. But this is the internet, after all. If the net went away tomorrow, I would not miss it at all.

I guess I'm just old.

Well I'm old too and didn't think it was discourteous at all. I've been criticized for assuming people know nothing so I don't do that any more.

To increase font size click on game/preferences/font size. I hope that's correct.

Have a good day.
