Sorry, my comparison was meant in general, not you specific (as a OOTP user).
I think we can cap the discussion here and concentrate on gathering ideas to improve the GUI in future versions. Quote:

Then I probably won't be back to play until those future versions are released, unfortunately. Trying not to sound like a cry baby, but the game just isn't fun right now.
It's sad that it has taken just over a year to get to this point. The UI especially saw no improvements over the past year, and the game play, while there have been some improvements, is still lacking. If this is the type of things we should expect from a Version 1, I'll be staying away from the other future endeavors here. I guess I'll see you at around version 4 or 5.

Personally, I think you should do a survey. Throw a Survey Monkey together and ask the fans what they think of the game.. what they like what they dont like what they want to see improved etc.. I really think you are making a lot of assumptions about the so called "silent majority."
I understand what you mean.. People who don't like something are more vocal about it, but at the same time, people who don't like something just walk away from it and don't report their unhappiness. Here are some sample questions I think would be important: How often do you play the game? (Daily, weekly, twice a week etc) When was the last time you played the game? (last week, last month, last year, today etc) What is your favorite part of the game? (In game, UI, free agency, training, scouting) What part of the game do you feel needs the most work? (in game, UI, free agency, training, scouting) Would you recommend FHM to a friend? There are PLENTY more.. I think you would obtain A LOT of information from doing something like this

I think we have that covered very well, thank you.
I guess we reached a dead end in our discussion and it makes no sense to continue it. You don't like the game, you don't think it goes into the right direction. I highly respect your opinion, we can't make everyone happy, time to move on. If you have more ideas to improve the GUI/game I will gladly discuss it! Quote:

Here's a few things that's been burning my arse so far but still a great game indeed....
- I'd like to see the game save point itself in a sense that when I'm looking at UFA's and Personnel to hire, I can click on they're names and when I hit the back button I don't have to rifle throughout all the people again to where I was on the list. - Fighting in the game... *sigh* Cory Perry vs Brain McGrattan really ? This needs to stop.. The ducks have a capable Tim Jackman or Pat Maroon who handles those duties. This is what the fighters do not agitating scorers or agitators altogether. - Being able to hire a Coach who coaches the team and watches over the general game play, while I watch over the general duties of the team like signings, trades, demotes, promotes etc.... |

That's a day one suggestion... Edit: Sorry, if that sounds harsh. But actually, it is meant to sound harsh. Moderator Edit: Tone it down. There is no need to continually be this abrasive - thank you Last edited by CONN CHRIS; 03-17-2014 at 09:42 AM. |

The user made a nice suggestion, I just asked him friendly to go into a bit more detail so we can make it right, once we start on something like this (because the groundwork is already in the game, just not as detailed as he/other want it). Most user here are friendly, want to make the game better, give feedback, want to talk about the game.

![]() As I said, I'm coming from EHM and I really love what they did with the line-up screen (with the star ratings of how the players play together etc.). The set-up on how the individual lines playing style is pretty cool, too: ![]() Speaking about the compare screen, this is what I meant in EHM (the next screen would be a side-by-side comparision of each players ratings, I couldn't find a picture of this though): ![]() Quote:

I think Sebastian has it right when he says 'You are too used to playing X game'
I spent too many hours on EHM and Football Manager 2008 - both similar looking games, then I first went to OOTP Baseball, and hated it. I hated it so much because I couldn't navigate the way my mind was trying to do automatically because 'it's a text sim too so it should be like EHM/FM08! ![]() ![]() My suggestion to the thread is the Personnel Screen, yes I keep mentioning it but It bugs me how its set up right now. My other thought is, and don't hate me Sebastian! Maybe it's a German thing? having all the clicks to get to places? From playing other German made sims they all have a similar pattern ![]() |

Garethw, without Germans we wouldn't have the most statistically detailed baseball manager in the universe, OOTP. And just look at FIFA Manager -- they have put there everything!

I often feel like an idiot whenever you finally post here, honestly. Not communicating for weeks upon weeks was one thing. But then coming here and giving the impression you hear something the first time (which is how it came across to me, sorry if read too much into it) is just... I don't even know. Thanks to the mod for the warning, by the way. That was my first in 15+ years in the internet. |

Agree, the drag & drop function is great and when the resolution will be a bit lower, it'll work. But a polished screen would work wonders because this is really the screen where (as someone else here in this thread posted) the most users are spending the majority of their time.
