Not a fan of how bunched up the Team home screen is compared to 23. i upgraded to a rather big monitor several months ago and 23 looked great. on 24 now, my home screen is cut off and it's mildly annoying. on 23 i could see all 4 of my minor leagues, on 24 i can not. on 23 i could see almost all of my positional rankings. on 24 i can not.

Also really wish you'd bring back how many titles each team has won to the home screen. That was really cool on 22, i believe.

it might be your screen resolution. Here is mine and it looks good. The truth is, OOTP 23 had a lot of wasted space and it didn't look right.

EDIT: Also...do you have larger font enabled? That can sometimes be problematic (depending on your resolution)

I matched my settings from 23. See if i missed something.

24

23

i will say this though, 24 is easier to read but i want to be able to see more on my screen.

Try putting your Mac display configuration at default. Then try changing your display within OOTP 24 to windowed AND MAXIMIZED.

Rain King · 08-28-2023, 03:27 PM

Yeah.

Short answer. They made some changes to the UI this year so the same settings are potentially not going to give you the same results. However, there is likely a solution that will work for you if you play with those settings.

Have you tried playing in non-Windows mode? We've had users running into similar issues when they set their screens to, say, 125% mode. I believe going into non-windowed mode overrides that for that particular program (and if you're already running it fullscreen anyway the overall effect should be negligible).

Game play is really sweet looking compared to past versions. In 23 and before, fans looked like blobs when they moved. Love the detail in the seating and love the pull tendencies.

Yeah, the new 3d crowds, while not cutting edge in today's world, do add a more spacious look to the ballparks. Add in the new sweeping camera that relaced the old pan and the atmosphere gets set straight away.

Throw in unis with names & numbers, socks, and quite a few new play/animations, and the in-game experience took a nice jump in quality. I hope we get batting helmets skinned with team colors and logos, and an option for no batting helmets for historical, for v25.

OK that is... really weird TBH. That in and of itself could be a bug that the devs can fix (as opposed to the objects on the screen bleeding over into each other thing).

My biggest pet peeve with 3D mode right now is that the game periodically tracks camera angles into the stands and sometimes the new fans will stand up and block my view of the damn play. This is probably more of an issue with the camera angles in the parks I'm using (which are historical/user-created ones collected by since-disgraced and heavily banned OOTPer silvam18) but it's STILL ANNOYING.

That said, every iteration we get more animations and that's great. This year they seemed to have added the "nasty one-hopper" infield base hit, which is a really nice touch - I think they just need to incorporate a play that looks just like it coming off the bat but which turns into an out (sometimes you can see that one coming... and to be perfectly fair, when you watch a game IRL a lot of the time you can predict the outcome of a play pretty well with the crack of the bat).

That's what I call team performance.

Like never for me. Probably will be the end of the line, and I started will the very first version long ago.

dsthomp · 12-03-2023, 02:16 AM

it hasn't mattered for more than two decades, so I don't believe you're correct. The reason is something else, probably the caution of the new corporate ownership.

dsthomp · 12-03-2023, 02:18 AM

Not getting used to it. I'll be getting used to not playing the game.
