Cosmetic issues & typos go here

[anglfandan]

During game play the playing field has a bunch of small black marks all over it, making it difficult to follow the ball. I don't get these black marks on any other display/screen on my computer.

Out of town scores are not fitting properly in the boxes.

Still not seeing shadows under the balls when it's a pop up over the infield grass. They reappear when the ball is over the dirt.

No shadows under the ball when the pitcher throws it either.

Facegen issue

When using 3D Classic, at times the game will constantly create a picture for the pitcher in game. When this occurs, it will happen after every single batter for the entire game. The pitchers picture in the pitcher info widget will flash and a new picture will appear. Does this for both teams.

Thing is, it's stadium specific. For example, it happens in the Astrodome. Sometimes, you can change the stadium representation to a future or earlier one and the flash will no longer occur. It seems to do it in all the Astrodome models.

Really want to use Facegen, but too many things flashing on the screen drives me nuts. It' also makes knowing when there's a pitching change a lot harder to spot, because it looks like the pitcher is being changed after every batter.

Not sure where this goes!


Still cannot change manger facegen by loading photo from file. Also, still have lines in the clouds sky box. This only shows the lines in a game but not when you look at the sky box in the file. This happened right after there was an option to hide the center widget and I selected hide during play
Attached Images

I found if I turn off facegen in settings before loading a game, I can change the manager picture. Didn't have to do this in 2026. I found the problem with the lines in the sky is a problem with the model for the Cleveland park. I will ask Mike S about that.

The play-by-play possibilities for wild pitches need to be checked for whether they are sensible. The screen shot below shows one I encountered today that is not sensible.

Has anybody figured out what causes this?

I have seen this twice:

CASE 1
Created a test league in 27, players looked normal. Then I copy/pasted my altered ballparks folder from 26 (which has been modded for real stadium ads). Players became distorted like this

CASE 2
Now using ballparks folder that comes with 27, imported save from 26. Players become distorted like this. When I switch back to test league created in 27, players look normal.

Fixed.

Light and Classic Skin

Still using Black lettering on Black background for scoreboard, hits, balls, strikes and outs. Very hard to see.

Play by play is still black lettering on a gray background. Eye strain trying to see this leads to instant headache.

Shame too, because the light skin looks great otherwise and I really want to use it. Just not worth the trip to the eye doctor the black on black will cause.

Oh and Black on Brown is awful for the classic skin as well. Not hard to see, but butt ugly.

I got to Spring Training today, so it's the first time I've played a game and I am having this issue too. I fall under Case 1 where I am using altered parks and ads from 26. I'll play around with switching those out.

I noticed this is also viewable when going to the Modify Team Colors/Jerseys menu.

*********FIXED*********

For anyone having this issue, my problem was I copied over the entire ballparks folder from 26 to 27 which includes a /misc/players/ folder containing animations and models. I suspect these have been updated for 27, and once I reverted to the original folder data it resolved my issue.

Not fixed yet as per the example below, which occurred with the latest (April 4) patch.

Thanks for this. I'm glad it worked for you and hopefully it will help others, but my league is still hosed even when I do this.

I even delete the ballparks folder entirely before I reinstall the entire game just to make sure there are no artifacts. Players still look like a Picasso painting. I tried disabling/enabling facegen, I tried JUST deleting the player folder within the ballparks folder, I tried reimporting my league again and again. Absolutely nothing works.

I believe that unfortunately OOTP broke backward compatibility for my very specific setup, which is unique enough where most people aren't seeing this or -- if they do -- manage to fix it using your method. Lucky me.

Classic Skin - #1,2, & 3 performance of the day - light grey font very faint on this background colour.

The only view mode that was even playable was Classic 2D (I could write a book about the shortcomings of the 3D view). Then it recently stopped displaying player images as soon as action started in a game. They appear during the welcome screen, but as soon as play starts I just get name tags and a pixelated baseball icon.

Noticeably more pitches high in the strike zone when using pitch by pitch and pitch location than ‘26. I don’t know if this is purposeful and better reflects real world pitch distribution or not

[tem316]

Why was this removed from 27? It was always under the Logo doc files, but is no longer available. Really great for fiction leagues or expansions.
