Thanks!

Todd

Thanks for the hard work and the quick turnaround on the first patch.

All-in-all, I'm impressed by the amount of tweaks you were able implement in such a short period of time.

Thanks Markus

DonD · 03-05-2003, 12:44 PM

Markus,
Do you recommend we restart our seasons / leagues after patching the game?

Will the lingering effects from the unpatched game / seasons / logic have any problems going forward?

Okay, but when I expand in Manager mode, the new teams are created with no cash and no TV contracts. So how are they supposed to sign anyone? The Fan Interest is also at 0, so even if they could field a team, who's going to come out to watch 'em? Finally, the Market Size is left blank. The patch still doesn't appear to let us edit any of these things in Manager mode, meaning it looks as if expansion is still impossible. But maybe I'm just missing something...

I was also hoping for the ability to edit first and last names, along with uniform numbers, for every player, not just those on human-controlled teams...

Finally, the option to be able to edit defensive ratings and pitchers' roles would be nice. In historic seasons, players are imported at the positions they played in their rookie years, not those they played for the majority of their career. Meaning Jackie Robinson and Wade Boggs will be 1B, Dale Murphy a C, Sandy Koufax a MR, and the weirdest one: Tim Raines at catcher.

I'm addicted to this game, and to Manager mode in particular, so I'm hoping these things will be addressed in the near future...

NYJuggalo45 · 03-05-2003, 01:06 PM

Markus, any comment on the historical financial fix?

Capital · 03-05-2003, 01:16 PM

It appears that we will not have to restart our careers. That's a good thing.

- Free agents now more often give you more time to react to a computer offer.

YAY!

He must have heard me bitching.

THanks for the Patch Markus....and only a couple of days after OOTP5 was released...try getting that from EA Sports.

When I get free agents they still go to Single A, is that suppose to be like that, or are you just talking about player trade. I think free agents should go to AAA as well.

What exactly does this refer to? I'd prefer not to have to restart my current career league if this error isn't to glaring. Any info on this?

"This application has failed to start because elicen40.dll was not found. Re-Installing the application may fix this problem"

That's what I get whenever I try to load up the patched OOTP. Any ideas why?

I found another bug, it seems the hitting streaks aren't set for season. I just started a season and it says the longest hitting streak was 34 games, and we haven't even played 10 games yet.

something is wrong with your license I think, not sure what, try to unlicense your game and then reinstall it, repatch it, and relicense it.

They should go to the minors it really doesn't matter what level they are placed at.
