That works without problems!

Ah, so you mean basically the same screen layout for past days? No, that is not an option I fear.

This feature is going to be especially cool during the last few days of a heated pennant race (or two)...

Well, not past days. It only need be one day (even just the present one, (before clicking Finish Day in RTS mode)). What I'd like is to be able to basically have the game save one days' boxes and logs and then delete it as you go from day to day, even if saving boxes or logs is off, so that there is one day to refer to, but they don't keep piling up.

It would be like having the sports section of the newspaper… you can go over the day's games but then throw them away. We don't keep every day's newspaper just to save all the box scores.

Markus - in the post showing the first screenshots you released, 5th image, bottom right where it lists your bullpen.

Can you please reverse the order. You currently have it so it shows the Closer first, then setup men, then relievers. The list should be reveresed.

gysgtam · 02-08-2012, 04:35 PM

What exactly do you mean when you say transactions are disabled I see that you can't draft on a game day but what transactions can a do or not do in real-time mode?

hfield007 · 02-08-2012, 04:36 PM

I actually think I will use this way more than I had at first thought. Much more sleek than I imagined for a brand new feature I thought it would be very primitive without showing too much information. This was a great surprise!

Why?!?

Transactions are only disabled while the games are simming. After the games have completed, transactions (trades, drafts, etc...) can still be done before proceeding to the next day.

That just means you can't process a trade or promotion/demotion while games are in progress. Meaning, you can't call up Bryce Harper from AAA mid-game because you think he'd make a nice pinch-hitter.

When you look at your pitchers page now, going left to right & top to bottom, it lists starters, relievers, mop-up, setup, then closers.

No big deal really, just thought it looked odd seeing them in that order.

Ooooh. Can we possibly get a feature for OOTP 14 where it'll make the sandwich for us? :hmm:

STOKED.

Those screenshots are gorgeous. Someone please tell my girlfriend that I love her. I don't think I'll be seeing her for a few months after the game comes out.

I love the news article about players arriving late and missing the game. It adds to the immersion factor. Great little addition.

mm7607 · 02-09-2012, 12:21 AM

When I first saw this and someone had posted it would be a waste of time I was in agreement, but after looking at the screens and options I am now all for this. Thumbs up Markus.

The reason for this is that in lower resolutions (i.e. 1024*700) the entire bullpen does not fit. So I'd rather start at the top with the most important parts.

Yes, the screen will remain available until you progress to the next day. Boxscores / logs only if you have them set to being saved.
