In career mode for these seasons will it use fictional 1978 draft players since other seasons are not purchased yet?

By creating a Canadian apple ID, will it convert any apple card purchase points to Canadian dollars when I buy an apple card and load? Anxious to purchase PP for Perfect team with this app.

Yeah that is correct

So my initial impression is that I'm blown away with the amount of detail that's been put into a mobile game. I haven't even had a chance to fully go through everything yet, but I can tell I'm going to spend a lot of time on this! Really appreciate the effort that must have gone into this
Just one quick question so far, I've noticed minor league options don't seem to be a thing? Is that something that I'm missing, or has it just been left out of the mobile version? Not a big issue, but just adds a bit more strategy having to put thought into what players to promote etc.

daves · 05-28-2021, 10:24 PM

Have to say, very disappointed there is NO shop player feature on the app! If there is let me know where it went?

This makes it a downgrade from MLB Manager.

That would be a bug, not a decision

It works fine on my 2nd gen 12.9" iPad Pro.

Thanks!

Minor league options should be available in the Advanced View of the league setup screen. They are disabled by default, though, to keep things simple

This will be added soon, no worries

And of course, this doesn't make it a downgrade, it's as if you are comparing a VW Beetle to a brand new Porsche

Thanks. It's just part of my expectation (as other MLB Manager players might agree) is to have at the minimum all the features MLB Manager had. I don't want to upgrade to a Porsche and not have cruise control.

Overall, great app and thanks for the reply.

Will there be a Korean league option?

Never mind, I found it. May require a purchase? Found Nippon and Chinese option as well.

daves · 05-29-2021, 07:33 AM

Does the ALL-IN-ONE Bundle for historical seasons include the 2021 season or is the 2021 complete season a separate purchase?

Simmed 1996 season and here are some league stats:

I’m glad your simming, it will be important for these beta testers to test deep into the future to check for bugs in addition to those simming game by game

You were very active in the MLB Manager forums. You should setup a Canadian account and sim as well. I was surprised that shop player was missing after beta testing. Need another MLB Manager player

Separate purchase as it is not a historical season

Yes, that is not intentional, looks like the system does not read the native resolution here properly... we will look into it

Of course, it's 100% the same simulation engine and historical MLB database as OOTP 22

Going through all 3 interface options produces the same, game recognizes my resolution as 2048x1536 and I’m running iOS 14.6 on iPad Air 2021

Hah! Yes, I was. Maybe I will jump on.

It’s funny, in waiting 3 years for this full upgrade to the game, I actually began playing the desktop version and part of me lost the fire for the mobile version.

But, as I said years ago, the mobile community is so large, this is a necessity for the company. I’m glad it’s actually here. It’s worth the full $20 easily.

I’ll be around, I’ll now have a great frame of reference since I’ve been head first into desktop ootp.
