I'm doubting that the right people were picked off... but the numbers are/were correct.

Might be a perception thing based on, as you say, the 'right' people getting picked off. Since it's the non-runners getting nailed over and over, it feels higher than it should.

I tried the "Realistic Modern Day" setting and it completely decimated the position players in my league. I had to un-retire several players just to fill my 40-man roster. Strangely, not many pitchers in my league suffered injuries, but an unusually large percentage of position players got hurt. This seems wonky as I would suspect it would be the other way around. Pitchers tend to get injured more frequently than fielders.

I downloaded yesterday and haven't slept yet! I love it! Well worth the wait.
This is my third OOTP (8,9,X) and they just keep getting better.
I play on a Mac and have not noticed any big issues. The only problem I have encountered has been the ballparks. I am unable to mod the BParks. I noticed on Padre's Fan's site that there's an issue with this. Not a big deal though.
New skin is very pleasing and the rating bars are an improvement also.
Now if it could just come with a "keep the wife from divorcing me" mod it would be perfect!

There was a guy working on it but it's still got a lot of bugs... in fact, he's actually going through a very messy divorce right now...

Just got done playing my first game and won 3-2 as the Angels skipper in a play-by-play mode game. It felt good, like real baseball with nothing really funky happening. Pretty intense game with a combined 30+ men left on base. My catcher Napoli got beaned and ended up out for 5 weeks with a finger injury.

The only issue was during the 9th inning. I was winning 3-2 and had 2 outs against Oakland with nobody on base. Then Garciaparra hits a double but no pinch runner came in to replace him. Garcia's speed and baserunning ratings are 7/7. Meanwhile, Rajai Davis was on the bench with ratings of 19/17. I intentionally walked Holliday then all of a sudden Davis appeared on 2nd during Cust's play result. He should've been immediately put on base, not sure why the AI waited. Unless it's because the switch is not announced until the next play starts and the IW nullified it. However, when a relief pitcher is put in the game they show up on screen right away. That's my only beef and a minor one so it's all good.

Trooper, I think that's a bug. The PR entrance is reported a batter late. I've already created a bug report.

Pstrickert...Hope you are doing well. Your advice however is what I tried. I guess I didn't word my statement quite accurately. It does show the bigger type but part of the box is cut off. Can't see the line to change pitch by pitch etc. Plus the lines scroll slow or stop completely before the end of the script when it reaches the bottom of the screen.

I'll work on it later. Maybe I need to increase my resolution from 1024x768 up.

My Expos lead 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth at SF. Rollie Fingers on the mound (historical draft league). Joe Morgan gets a hit and immediately steals second.
An intentional walk and an infield single later and it's bases loaded, nobody out.
I bring the infield in and cross my fingers. OOTP9 would often not throw home in this situation on a ground ball despite my obvious strategy move to set up a force play. Will OOTPX get it right?

Here's a shot on the ground toward second ...

Crosby picks it up and throws home ...

Out! They just nip the runner at the plate ...

Bench throws it up the line ...

Out at first! Double play!

Another intentional walk and a strikeout later, and the Expos win, 2-1.

Great job OOTP! Great job Markus! Thanks for sweating the details ...

The widget can be moved around the screen. Have you dragged and dropped it?
