I get pitch outs on first pitch with nobody out, 2 outs and now today, first pitch with 2 outs and I'm down by 2 runs. I'm not sure if real pitchers would do a pitch out with 2 outs and up by 2 runs. Also, I had a game with a count of 1-1 and there was a pitch out, maybe, but I am seeing a lot of pitch outs.

This game is fun, super in depth and I can't get enough of it! Thanks for such a great game that I can get lost in.

When you made your fiction league, did you select Michigan as a region?

Am loving 16, it looks like another flawless release, sure beats the old days. You guys are bringing your A game these last few years, for that I thank you. Haven't missed a copy since Season Ticket Baseball in 03.

Can there be a way for us to track the playoff series MVPs? I don't see them listed on the Awards page, and they are also never mentioned in news items, just in the playoff series page. So if later on, if you want to see who were the last three World Series MVPs, essentially it's impossible- unless I'm missing something (always a chance.)

I don't remember, I made it in 13. I don't think so, because if I remember correctly, there was some sort of patch that came out and everything got changed. I know back when I created my league, it had the correct States.

Ruthian23 · 03-24-2015, 05:05 PM

I'm not sure if this is a bug or working as intended, but is anyone else seeing their scouting director make recommendations that seem to be more in line with OSA than their own? For instance, my scout is recommending that I take a catcher in the second round he rates as a half star talent. OSA thinks he's a ***1/2 star guy. In the first round he wanted me to take a guy with *1/2 star potential that OSA had as a **** guy, even though there were players on the board my scout had as **** or ****1/2 guys.

cdidman · 03-24-2015, 05:11 PM

Got the news article saying the manager blasts media over bad press.

I love this news story, but maybe we can get this updated to like social media? So instead of him saying you're just trying to sell newspapers, maybe it reads "you're just trying to get clicks..."? Just a thought. lol

Walsh06 · 03-24-2015, 05:17 PM

Does the new Hall of Fame system compensate for shorter seasons. I only play 78 games and I want to make sure players will still get in at the same rate with only half the games in a season.

jfb8300 · 03-24-2015, 06:02 PM

Can DL roster moves be separated from the Active Roster moves on the GM control screen in the next patch?

The really shouldn't be lumped together, dealing with injuries is too much micromanaging for the way I sim. But I give up too much control of the roster by letting the assistant GM/AI control it.

jfb8300 · 03-24-2015, 06:15 PM

And why is there not an 'averages' line on the team statistics page next to the 'totals'?

Because Macs.

This game has blown me away with all of its amazing features and possibilities as has every game since OOTP 13 which was my first time playing the series! Keep up the good work, devs!

1) For being a very patient person and not throwing in the towel. It takes a special type of person to be able to read some of the most critical postings year after year and come out unscathed. Most of these referred to posts are written out of frustration, but a lot of them never needed to be written, some by myself.
As an example, the rash of crash reports early on. I had a few myself. After I updated my graphic driver I've had no problem at all. It wasn't your fault that people just don't bother doing those things, myself included. I can picture you sitting there scratching your head wondering WTF is going on, then realizing that you're dealing with hundreds of people that have computers yet know little about them technically.

2) An incredible game that just gets better and better. The difference between 12 and 16 is phenomenal. I started with 9, 10, 11 and 12 then got interrupted with a project, which you have now caused a major delay, so maybe there wasn't such a huge jump between iterations.
There are so many little (and big) things that make this game so great it would take a book comment on all of them. I will however mention what has made this version the best for me. Manager only mode. This is going to make playing this game for me most challenging. In the past versions I had it wasn't beyond me to fleece the competition to win.

Now if you could add the option of me being able to hire a thug to give that GM of mine a beating. Trading my favorite catcher right out of the box. I'll just never going forgive him for that.

Also I would like to thank the enter team, old and new, top to bottom for completing this most ambitious project in such a timely manner.

Just curious.

Why does OOTP list New York Yankees before New York Mets under drop down menu after league setup?

American League comes before National League. Just guessing.

gold2rush6 · 03-25-2015, 10:42 AM

Makes sense, and that answers why White Sox proceed Cubs.

Thanks

I might be alone in this, and I am probably partial because I have been playing OOTP14 for the last 2 years, but I have found that most all of the color schemes in 16 are hard to read.

I really thought the colors were great in OOTP14, from news to team home page, to mail. Especially the player development reports, I have a really hard time reading the green and red on that report.

I love all the bells and whistles in 16, just wish the color scheme had been left alone.

On a separate note, I preferred the league being in parenthesis on the players stats and history, as opposed to how it is now. I found it easier to identify stats from minor leagues.

kehowey · 03-26-2015, 12:46 AM

Like the MLB and MiLB logos, jerseys and backgrounds.

You are not alone. I liked the 14 color scheme also.
Also miss the uniform number drop down to change the uni number.
