Add me to the chorus wanting to see this issue fixed. I wish I had read these forums before taking advantage of the all-star deal. I am still playing with 2014 while 2015 sits unused...

This definitely warrants a fix of some type as a high priority. Although I understand about the allocation of your developers, the optics of OOTP being on Patch #6 are not good for those who only have a crippled MLB Manager.

My advice: stop releasing games for mobile if you're going to abandon them like these. Year after year this happens, but this is first time I've purchased the game and have had to go back to a previous year's release. Really wish I could have played MLBM15...

I'm sorry, all. I understand your frustration, but I don't see the sense in pestering Sebastian, as that won't help anything. Since we're still waiting on the final FHM 2014 update, along with FHM 2, I assume he wants to remain focused on those tasks and will switch back to MLB Manager once that's done. (But I admit I don't know how much bug fixing will need to be done after FHM 2 is released.)

I am completely fine with you assuming he won't fix it, rather than just asking him.
Another PR win for OOTP! |

Before I say anything else, I'll say this: I love this game and I know it has taken a tremendous amount of work to get it into its current form. Sebastian has done quality work on this. Sebastian deserves a lot of praise for investing so much of his time and effort developing MLBM.
OK, with that out of the way, here are my observations:
Bottom line is that until Sebastian can extract himself from the ongoing challenges with FHM, it is unlikely that we will see any updates to MLBM. I hope I'm wrong. The simple truth of the matter is that the OOTP studio cannot support the hiring of a dedicated resource for MLBM, so we'll just have to accept that and be thankful that we have a game this good to play, even if it makes some of us frustrated at times with its limitations and bugs.

Having bought previous seasons but now being unable to bring them to the latest version, I can't bring myself to be so forgiving.

C'mon guys, let's all feel sorry for a company that refuses to hire adequate staff in order to maintain the integrity of their products!

It's not that they're refusing to hire someone as much as it simply would not make economic sense for them to do so at this point. They're a small company that is unfortunately overextended.

I can follow up again after FHM 2 is released. As a very small company, though, our resources are maxed out, and we don't have the budgets of companies like EA or Sports Interactive. The fact that FM sells about 1m copies worldwide every year means SI has a lot of luxury in their budgets and can devote resources to their mobile games. We're nowhere near that sales level, unfortunately. If we were, I'm sure Markus would bring in a developer or two in a heartbeat.

Could you, at the very least, let us know if there is one more planned update to this game this season? If so, is there any chance either of this issues is going to be addressed?
Seems like that info is easy attainable. Do they know about these issues? Are they planning on fixing this? Could you just "bother them" once and find the answer to those two questions? |

Unfortunately, with the pressure on him to get FHM 2 done, his focus is 100% on that game and I can't ask him about anything else at the moment. Sorry, but that's the situation right now and I don't expect it to change for a while.
Once he's done with FHM 2 and any post-release tasks for that game, he will need to take a well-deserved break. |

Thanks for the helpful response. I can't respond to a question that I don't know the answer to, and I can't get an answer to that question at the moment because of where the company's focus is right now.
So, I'm supposed to do what, exactly? |

It's 2015, Brad, an email takes about 30 seconds out of each person's day. No excuse anymore to wait on simple questions like this. Also, in the future, try and make your pithy responses a little more timely, alright? |

This may not be may place,but the more you hound,complain,and be rude to these people,the less likely they are of doing anything to improve the game for you. |
