OOTP 11 - Thread for initial impressions... - Page 7

Love the new email/inbox system – having the messages full blown on the right mirrors exactly how I use Outlook in real life. Much easier to read the news now.

So far everything is working great. Install no problem and all controls are easy to understand.

Biggest problem I have is deciding which features to use and how big to make my league!

Add-on centre is b-e-a-u-tiful.

Shows as admin at the control panel.

Edit: That being said, I dont think there's one application I can run as admin...this is not an OOTP problem, I guess.

Hopefully there's another way to fix the issue of having to activate every time I open the game?

The Add-on Center is a thing of beauty. The whole layout is great.

Unfortunately, I suspect the answer is to fix whatever your underlying Vista problem is

iPad? What is an iPad? Sorry, been in the cellar for 3 months.

Top Specs : can i add my own to the list to watch and how can i if we can, i have guys who are pot 5 stars and not on my spec list instead i have 2 star guys who will never make it to the majors. there has to be a way of fixing this.

injury log · 04-12-2010, 03:14 PM

The game generates the list based on player ratings; you can't change it unless you change the player ratings (which, as you probably know already, you can do - go to Manager Options, enter Commissioner mode, then on any player profile you can click the Editor tab and adjust someone). Relief pitchers rarely show up on the OOTP lists unless they're extraordinarily good, so that may explain why you aren't seeing some four or five star guys on the list. Of course, if you have scouting on, your scout might be far too enthusiastic about a player, and that's another reason why a high-star guy might not crack the top 20.

kiersteadmo · 04-12-2010, 03:16 PM

hmmm well i hope they can add the option to pick your own specs to watch kinda like a drag and drop maybe

From what I've seen, 11's great!

You can always add these players to your shortlist, and watch them yourself via the Player Shortlist page (Manager Menu >> Player Shortlist)

kiersteadmo · 04-12-2010, 03:37 PM

Yeah we could but then they would not be on the front page where they should be. I hope this can be looked at

Qrusher14242 · 04-12-2010, 03:39 PM

i cant seem to reload a league that i have open anymore? i want test out new logos, but now i have to load another league and then go and load the original league i had open before. Just seems to add another step.

Kelric · 04-12-2010, 03:53 PM

On the history pages for franchise positional and pitching starters we still don't have top games played list for positions or any easy to read display for the pitchers, ala baseball-reference.com. The pitcher's page, especially, makes me cry.

Ok, the thing not letting me run as admin was the fact that I had UAC turned off. I turned it on, restarted, unistalled the game, re-installed running the setup as admin, put the key in, then quit the game to see if it would save.

I then open the game as admin, the message appears again. I activate the key (it's already pasted onto the field from the previous effort, all i have to do is click ok), but then quit, and re-enter to find the message again

I wont mind re-activating every time i want to play, since the key already appears at the input field, and I just have to click ok...but my concern now is, for example, what if spend like 2 months without playing (and thus, putting my key in), and when i try to play again, the game says demo expired or something? I dont wanna lose my league over that

There are a few people experiencing this problem, and we're looking into it. Rest assured that your license will continue to be valid.

Everything working flawlessly for me, so far.

The dark game skin looks great.

Got a chance to import an OOTP10 league and it's doing fine. Imported right befor game one of the Championship Series. So far, so good.

Tried the facegen import (favorite feature) and it worked just as advertised. Now my favorite fictional player, Frenchy 'Stretch' Armstrong, has the face of my favorite historcial player, Willie 'Say Hey' Mays. Sweet!

Looking forward to giving the storylines a try. This is an excellent release.

JHopkins19 · 04-12-2010, 04:45 PM

Can't seem to download the All in one FaceGen file...

Here is the error I am getting. It downloads to 99% and then as it moves to 100% this is what pops up: This is the third time it has happened.

ADDONS_DIALOG::download_file - could not download file

Any ideas?
