For ratings, it looks like you are using zips instead of percota, maybe it changed in the past an I missed it. Any particular reason for the change? It looks like you hot a home run with the new features. I'll be preordering. I have played most of the pc baseball games and yours is definitely the best.

Generated recaps and headlines needs more love!

This is a fantastic addition! Here's hoping there are many templates though so they don't get too repetitive.

Great addition for dynasty writers!

Regarding the "owner mode", that refers to the commish mode essentially, so it's nothing new.
Will the game have facegen for historical play?

Looks like there will be disclaimers in this version as well... I guess with licensing does come some negatives.

Yes, they will age, change uniforms, show emotion etc.

Yes, we need to show that tiny disclaimer for MLBPA clients. But better that than remove the contract and $$ values, right?

New schedule box in the upper right looks great! Hopefully no more squished text when you have a doubleheader and another special event on the same day.

Not real, only fictional. Unless you install a community created mod, of course.

Lukas confirmed opt out clauses in another thread. What other contract based work has been done?

Absolutely! It's not ostentatious or in the way. I just know there are a lot of people on the boards that value their screen space.

Baseball Prospectus was purchased by an investor in 2015, and the new ownership had different ideas about our potential colaboration than we did

I'm not sure if this is more than I should say or not, if so Markus can edit my post, but there's no actual negative to the game here. It's just a disclaimer.

Nothing about our process or the data we put in game has changed.

The contract data, and all the other data in game will still be every bit as accurate and comprehensive as it's ever been, which is more than any other baseball or sports game available.

(well, maybe FM is similarly accurate and inclusive, but that's a different sport entirely. Oh, and FHM2 of course!)

With no need for an all in one mod anymore. Now we need an all in one historical mod that includes those historic facgens/pics/stadiums/unis. I would finally be able to stick to historic play for more than 2 seasons.

Out of curiosity, would they be fine if you put a little '?' (like on a retired players page explaining JAWS, etc.) next to the salary number that when you mouse over it shows the disclaimer? Gets the text off the screen but still has the disclaimer at all times.
