Oh, sorry, I didn't see that question there.
1998, you're welcome to keep posting these, and it's much appreciated, although to be honest, many of them are simply because I haven't gotten there yet. Basically, the further down the "tree" of the manual you get, the more likely you are to find inconsistencies. Shortly I will be completely done up through the "Screen Descriptions by Menu" section, that is, if you look at the menu here. That is not to say that other sections aren't close to being complete as well, but I can say that I'm pretty confident in everything ABOVE there right now, whereas BELOW that point I think you're likely to run into the sorts of things you have pointed out. Thanks very much! Curtis, I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles. I won't pretend to know specifically what you have run into, but I do know that Markus is working on some Mac-specific issues right now, and that may be what you're looking for... |

Manual
What a great manual. First class job all the way around. I love the layout. I can only imagine how long it took to get this done.

As far as how long it took to get it done...I'll tell you when I finish. I wish it could have all been done before the game went out, but hey, 3 years ago this game didn't have a manual at all! |

Well, for you manual nerds out there, I have a quick update.
You've probably noticed in the online manual, but the left menu is hierarchical divided into top-level menu items as follows: Introduction and Installation OOTP Interface and Controls Getting Started Creating Games Screen Descriptions by Menu Important Game Concepts Playing OOTP In-Game Reports Customizing OOTP Other Helpful Information Basically, as of right now, all of the content for the sections in blue above is 100% complete (although in some cases there are references to content that isn't yet complete). If you find errors or areas that could use enhancement in any of the blue sections, please fire away. I'm continuing to work on cleaning up the rest of the sections. Thanks, all! |

Here's a quick update. Things in blue are 100% done. Remember, just because it's not in blue doesn't mean there's no content. Mainly it means that the content hasn't been revised and improved from last year's manual content.

I noticed that on the personnel ratings page, 6.3.1, some information under "handle rookies", for example, extends off the right side of the page. I'm using the 1680x1050 resolution setting. The problem corrects itself if I open in an external browser and here I notice that the affected areas are in a larger, bolder font.
There are other places where this occurs, usually under the word "description". Under "Manager Reputations" the next page is titled "Getting Hired". Clicking "Getting Hired" causes an error box popup. Clicking 'cancel' allows one to continue, though.

Only because you have Scouting in blue do I call your attention to this "Instant Replay" you've got going there (page=scouting_players).
