Yes, having something to break it up or adding in a empty space between the categories would be a big help.

Hopefully it is given some consideration.

On depth charts, will it be possible to use starters as the primary backup at another position? Has the depth chart AI improved generally? It would be great if the use of position experience in depth charts was addressed, as it's led to some AI teams having really wonky depth charts.

rjl518 · 01-28-2018, 05:13 PM

will there now be a way to clear player strategy with just one click of a button instead of having to go through every player and select none and then start again?
also...will there be more custom options for double elimination playoffs like byes and such?

1. Can we expect coaching "personalities" to be in the game at launch instead of being added midway through the baseball season?

2. Can you speak to any updates, if any, to the GM/Coaching interaction? Example: as a coach, will I be able to tell my GM that I need a second baseman?

3. Will there be any player interaction pieces added to the game, like manager meetings, team meetings etc?

4. Will there be any way to export views so we can share them with friends/other users?

5. When scrolling through a player's situational stats (place in batting order, bases loaded etc) can the column headers stay locked at the top?

6. Any chance we can get a "vs. team" and "vs. hitter/pitcher" filter so we can see how players perform against specific guys to make picking pinch hitting/relief pitching matchups easier?

Any progress on associations?

Will the full player models have the uniforms, like the detailed pawns?

I would love being able to see little numbers on the jerseys. I know most of my real-life team by the numbers and I find I don't know much about my OOTP team's numbers unless I go into individual player pages.

Selfishly, i'd like to be able to run replays of simmed games. Take screenshots of the action, assuming i can zoom in on the players, and use the screenshot in a baseball card.

I don't think anything has changed here.

Yes, they were added last year, so they'll still be there. We can update the new guys pretty easily before release, so shouldn't be an issue.

bryan_05 · 01-28-2018, 10:23 PM

Any changes to make online play more efficient? I just want to sim some seasons with a couple friends without emailing files around constantly.

itsmb8 · 01-28-2018, 11:14 PM

Just a couple questions,

1) Any updates to aging, development, etc.?

2) Any updates to international/independent PCMs? And will Cuban defection be modeled in this game?

3) Any updates or expanded features to feeder leagues?

nico1270 · 01-29-2018, 08:00 AM

Caribbean Winter Leagues? (and Caribbean World Series)

Will we get any notifications (emails, popups, etc) when a player from my Indy league team was purchased by an MLB team?

wallewalls · 01-29-2018, 10:43 AM

guys, some of these features you're asking about are so big that if they were in the game, they would have said so in the release information

Yeah, that's definitely true

There's obviously a lot of little stuff we haven't mentioned yet, but stuff like Caribbean Winter Leagues, feeder league updates etc. we'd have mentioned already if they were happening

jaysfan17 · 01-29-2018, 01:30 PM

Lukas, Matt, other OOTP developers and fans of OOTP,

Not sure if you guys are still answering questions so I hope I'm not late. I'll try not to ask too many questions. Was there a feature list that got released and I missed it or has t not been released yet. I've been hearing about a couple new additions hear and there and can't seem to find the anything. The newsletter link isn't working for me.

Also, and this pertains to the game, will players be more likely to sign minor league deals in this game? I've noticed that on FA day players who do mediocre at the MLB level are always requesting for Major league deals even when they were bounced between the MLB and MiLB.

We're answering what we can, like Matt said we might not be able to get to everything since we have to, you know, actually work on the game as well

The feature list is in the newsletter, not sure why the link wouldn't work but you can also find it on the Steam store page here. Hopefully that works for you!

As far as the minor leaguers and major league deals, that's something we've actually just been discussing. We've made some tweaks and will probably make more depending on what we find in beta, so I think things should be better in 19.

Lukas,

Thanks for the quick response! I took a look at the features on the link you gave me. The game looks promising, again. Especially, looking forward to what you guys have done with the scouting system. Take care.

Birdland24 · 01-29-2018, 04:28 PM

If I preorder the game Friday am I still able to get the early release on the 19th? And the 10% discount?
