A SS that was trained at 100 at 2b, but I am not sure he can play 2b in a tournament? Here the poll results, we did not fully try to ask everyone even though we think we did and don't ask questions because we will not answer you!!!!

Was posted on the forums here (was even pinned until the survey was done) - https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=308245

It was posted in the Tournaments portion of the Discord, and pinned to that channel AND we pinged everyone.

If you missed it, thats unfortunate, but please, don't try to paint the narrative that you didn't have a chance.


As far as your SS/2B question goes, a player with high residual ratings (range, error, arm) should be able to handle a switch like that relatively well. As dkgo suggested, the best way to gather results is to experiment and do it. If he trained up to 100 in regular play, that would indicate he shows an aptitude to play the position

Never saw it! Please don’t tell me I had a choice and was notified! It is what it is but don’t tell me I knew? If you care about thoughts then communicate better! Don't rub bad poll results in my face and tell me I received notifications. I am only told that you add new cards when I log in.

And don't waste important decisions on half hearted polls.

But to what affect?

I had OK results playing Ripken at 2B, then I went and bought Jackie Robinson and my results improved dramatically. So, get yourself a 2B before they go up in price. Lots of teams are probably using 3-4 shortstops in their infields.

The 100 Jackie Robinson is WAY underpriced right now.

Good to see, looking forward to the fixes coming tomorrow. Hopefully it includes some minor UI improvements ... it can be a real bear to try to find your recently eliminated teams after they lose out to look at the results.

Thanks. I appreciate the explanation.

Very disappointed in this result, but HEY they had a poll! And a half hearted poll to screw up tournament mode (that I kept wanting) is apparently how things work! Now I have to mess with my team because apparently that adds strategy.

If it makes you feel better, your one extra vote (while obviously still important), would not have changed the ultimate result ¯\_()_/¯

Please, next time you have an announcement about a poll about relevant issues do it here where I am consistently told about new content but not the poll that now is incorrectly handled.

Yeah, I am wondering how many robots had votes?

Also, don't like being told that I knew and voted about something I did not know about.

It's not really clear if everyone had just one vote. That poll is used for POTM where you can vote multiple times for your choice. Forum votes seem more honest. Anyone can create a pie graph and say this was the result.

We fixed this. But, we did not give out rewards missed due to bugs afterwards, it was a beta after all and problems were to be expected. So I am sorry that you "suffered" from this bug, but there is nothing we can do.

So what are you implying? ... We made a poll available for over 24 hours, announced it, waited, and this was the result, end of story.

Nothing was incorrectly handled. I am sorry you missed it, but we announced it on several channels including a sticky post here in the forums, which you seem to visit quite frequently

Can we please get back on topic now?

[Markus Heinsohn]

Update: We will now set the required version to 20.8.72 and start updating the servers. You will not be able to log into PT while we do this. We will then launch the required OOTP 20 patch!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Another update: We have decided to delete all beta tournaments now, so if you signed up for a weekly / monthly, you'll need to do it again once we make the new tournaments list available today.

The disappointment wasn't the points I didn't get, it was that I posted a bug that nobody even acknowledged. Why ask for bugs, I was trying to help out a game I really enjoy,.

LOL A live chicken. The baseball gods do not require a live chicken sacrifice unless you are playing the San Diego Padres

If we didn't acknowledge this bug specifically then chances are high we had already fixed it Thanks for your help!
