Requesting A Few Small Additions to the Play-by-play

OOTPinstripes · 04-15-2016, 03:18 PM

If this belongs in the forum for suggestions for future versions, please move it. I put it here, however, because these are small suggestions that I would think could be added to a patch.

1. Show hitters' pull tendency (normal/spray/pull hitter) on the main game screen
Perhaps in the lineup, perhaps just next to the hitter's name when he comes up to bat. All that is needed is a small N/S/P/EP next to the hitter's name. Just something so that we can set our defense alignment without having to click on the player's name and go to their profile.

2. Show pitch count on the main game screen
Again, just so we don't have to go to the pitcher's profile to see how many pitches he has thrown that day. It's important to handing our own pitching staff and for knowing when to have our hitters take some pitches to try to get an opposing pitcher with a high pitch count out of the game early.

3. More announcement for a sub coming into the game
The asterisks are nice for a new pitcher, but I'd like a little more, especially with hitters when I might have to set my defensive alignment. Without giving it much thought, my initial suggestions are to A) make the announcement of a new hitter/pitcher its own PBP line where you have to click to get past it before getting back to the play if that makes sense, and/or B) make the incoming pawn a different color like yellow or a green to signal that he is new.

Both of these are already on the main screen. Look at the player card on the bottom left and pitcher card on the bottom right. Hitter Type - Pull Hitter and Status - OK (77 Pitches)

Both of those are cut off on my screen. Would you happen to know how to get it to a screen setting where I can see that bottom line?

EDIT: Disregard the suggestions, of course. If mods would like to close the thread, I will post my question in a relevant thread now that I know that they exist.

Try maximize button on the game (even if it is already maximized) and then maximize it again. I have had that happen before where the bottom is cut off and that seems to fix it.

Thanks. It is getting very frustrating having to go down the entire opposing lineup before the first pitch and make a mental note of who pulls the ball.

If they're cut off, try moving the winow up a little. It was cut off on my screen, but there was room to move the batter window up to show the tendencies.
