Good write up. It sounds like '07 is really turning out to be what we hoped '06 would be.

Muppetus Galacticus · 02-27-2007, 01:38 PM

If that is, "Positional Strength Overview by Positions", then what else can it be sorted by?

And I don't think I've mentioned it yet but I'm loving the bar along the bottom.

ACibella · 02-27-2007, 01:43 PM

Cool review, the screenie looks nice too. I like "overview" type screens, allows you to get a good feel for the league overall without being bogged with too much info on one page.

BusterKing · 02-27-2007, 01:52 PM

What does that "Pending Trades" button do?

Could it be trades that are currently being negotiated?

BusterKing · 02-27-2007, 01:59 PM

For all the teams or just your own team?

Can trades be cancelled from that screen...

You know... like more info about it

This is a game you can easily become immersed in. This is a game that you will lose track of time with. This is the game your signifigant other will grow to hate.

Uh oh. Sounds like more 5AM Gameplay Awards coming up.

You have no idea how many extra chores I have to do to get more OOTP time.

I *like* the positional strength overview page. I wouldn't even have thought to include it, but now that I see it included, I realize I've been wanting it for years. This will be great for league dynasty writers like myself. The ability to quickly scan a league and the relative quality of its players in a simple fashion like this will be extremely useful.

lewis31lewis52 · 02-27-2007, 03:11 PM

I'm really liking the sounds of pending trades.

Gastric ReFlux · 02-27-2007, 03:14 PM

day 5, day 5

battists · 02-27-2007, 03:40 PM

There is also a positional strength by team report.

Claymore · 02-27-2007, 04:49 PM

I'm liking the fact that you can easily toggle between 1 pitch and pitch by pitch....

Mister Bogart · 02-27-2007, 11:49 PM

I am excited about positional strength by team....pretty soon the game is going to actually sim me simming baseball....and then sim the game simming me playing baseball....and so on.....*smiles*

cibl commish · 02-28-2007, 12:05 AM

Nice write up.. Great to have one pitch back.

Marc Duffy · 02-28-2007, 10:59 AM

I think for 6.5 junkies, there are a lot of "missing" features back

Agreed 100%. I think 2007 combines the best of both 6.5 and 2006. You may not play the game the first time and say this game is the bomb, but it didn't take me long to really immerse myself in the game.
