In other words, go straight from Majors Pitchers to AAA Pitchers to AA Pitchers. Haven't figured out how to do this in OOTP15. So far I have to go to Team Home Screen to move to new level. Hope I'm missing something.

Took me a minute to figure it out too when I was poking around earlier on this old weak laptop. You click on your team name above the player list and it shows all your minor league teams and other teams at the same level. The giveaway was the double down-arrow just to the right of the team name.

This is my annual whine, but this year I am particularly sad. After years of asking for the real life stats to be placed on the player card, last year my wish was granted. Unfortunately this year the feature has disappeared. I did see a few people who disliked having the information and I certainly understand their reasoning. Perhaps it could be turned into an optional feature or, if not, then I guess I will just learn to live with disappointment. Either way, I think this is the best version of the game and I will probably be up all night just messing with the new features.

is there a place to change AI behaviour in terms of defensive shifts? They seem to be underutilised in the game relative to real life

misterblonde3 · 04-19-2014, 03:27 AM

Ok thank you, I just did that. I wasn't sure where the best place was. Thanks for the heads up.

clwalcott · 04-19-2014, 04:19 AM

I assume someone has already mentioned that "top prospects" (both the 100 list and in player development) only shows relievers...

Yeah, it has been mentioned a bunch of times. There is already a stickied message from Markus which addresses it and provides a manual workaround. The issue will be fixed in Monday's first patch.

One quick question...Am I correct in assuming that each serial number can only work with one computer? I have a desktop and a laptop, and I would love to have the game on both of them.

The license can be used on up to two computers at the same time (which both must be your own computers, of course).

I haven't torn into the game too much, just messed around a bit, played about 15 games. Mostly just wanted to say that the UI design, in terms of readability and appearance, is fantastic. There's some things that I think are more difficult to get to in this version, as they seem to have been relocated to various submenus, but the cleanliness of the UI allows for me to overlook these things.

Also love the option of resetting service time for players joining a new league. Haven't seen this mention anywhere before.

I personally disliked the resetting of service time for one big reason. If a player signs in Japan or Korea they are basically locked into a 9 year deal if it resets. Those players should automatically become free agents after one season.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the functionality but that is how I see it.

I have my news set to "news from your league and organization" but I've noticed I no longer receive BNN and league news such as power rankings in my email. I have to go to the league news section to see them.

edit: hmm, seems to be okay now.

Tyler87898 · 04-19-2014, 09:22 AM

Another thing that will take a long time to get used to is a lot of buttons being moved to the top of some screen like the negotiation screen and the player profile. I'm so used to where they used to be. I'll be ok though.

Walsh06 · 04-19-2014, 09:34 AM

Loving the spring training length. Its nice to be able to try out my team before actually starting the season again. Just wondering though could it be pushed back slightly. One day off between the last game and opening day is not great for team recovery.

Its a option and is mainly used for the MLB. I think its off by default in other leagues.

This way a IFA & Indy players will be rookies in the Majors .

It is on by default. I went through and switched it off. It's a great idea overall. Trust me I'm thrilled international leagues are in, but I don't want to see a guy over there get "stuck".

Like Vinny Rottino, his contract was set to automatically renew.

Yea some of the rules for the leagues in the QuickStart aren't correct. *** even have the posting system disabled...

I just noticed this as well..why is this disabled? 20 million should be max correct? Do other leagues have a posting system IRL, or is it just Nippon?

That was an oversight, will be fixed in patch #1 by default.

SirMichaelJordan · 04-19-2014, 11:24 AM

So far (knock on wood) seem like generated players will stick to their most optimum position instead of playing musical chairs every day.

Really like seeing the middle field positions (CF, SS, 2B, C) being valued more than other positions in the draft even though its a high chance that they won't end up playing there in the majors.

This was not removed. You can toggle the view on top of the stats section of the player profile.
