Broadcast or Webcast

Grafton19 · 04-22-2014, 08:04 AM

I have used Broadcast so much over the last few years, but Webcast is really catching my eyes. What do you guys prefer?

Webcast, might be an illusion but it seems to run faster for me, and I gotsta have that pitch display. Only frustrating bit is checking the speed on the bases and less frequently defensive ratings and have to toggle back.

I agree and wish we could see base speed on webcast, but once i get used to my team I understand who is who better

had thought the 3D lost the base speed aspect but if you switch to 2D then you will see it. Had tried it out that way and it does work. Dont forget they did say and does remind you in the game 3D is still a work in progress

I would use webcast a lot more if it had pitch count on it. (I haven't checked in ootp 15 if it has pitch count, but I know it didn't for ootp 14)

I always used the window where you bring up pitchers to display anywhere on screen and with that pitcher you WILL see pitch count and its there in OOTP14 as well

thanks, I'll have to double check.

Now that I have a wider screen, I use Broadcast because of the customizing capability. The Webcast screen just does not show the data that I like to see during a game.

I would like to see the real-time webcast feature expanded. It would really help with the immersion of watching games as a GM. You would be able to simultaneously negotiate trades, review players etc...while games are in progress.

I've always used Broadcast, the Webcast layout just doesn't appeal to me.

Well as far as I'm concerned, you can't beat this:

I would really prefer the real-time gamecast if more information, along with a simple play description could be provided. I am not a big fan of the drop down menu, because (in higher resolutions) I feel you can put more information on the screen. Most of us now have higher resolution screens I think, and I just feel the real-time webcast should reflect this.
