Just a note on my anticipation for this great baseball game. For over 10 years I've purchased the game. Especially the past two years I really got excited about the ballparks and 3D stuff.
However, every year I spend a good amount of time trying to run a season (partial simming but mostly playing key games pitch by pitch). I always end up stopping my work because I have so much trouble adjusting the rosters to the real life current season along with other stuff. I'm 73 and just have trouble with all the details. : ) So I usually end up really enjoying OOTP but only in Historical World Series plays and special match ups. They can be played pretty smooth although sometimes my fixed lineups wouldn't show when ready to play the game (probably a goof on my part) or something else messes up. But just sometimes. I'm currently ready for game 6 of my favorite White Sox/Dodger 59 World Series with only one little problem that was solved !! But I am so impressed with the look this year (especially 3D and the little players) and the preliminary look at the screens that give me the impression that maybe changing things etc. will make it easier to actually play along with the 2018 season. I hope! At any rate...the enhanced look...and simply splendid detailed play script has me hooked again !! This could very well be my last season of playing my baseball games since the dice APBA when I was 11. I appreciate all you and your team have done Mr. Heinsohn. Espcially that PStrickert fella. : ) Your voice brings me many memories of my theology studies for over 50 years...with many of them being from some great German theologians. : ) OOTP19...opening day is just around the corner...GO White Sox & Cardinals...Cubs...Red Sox...

This looks amazing! Absolutely can't wait for next week.
One other minor cosmetic thing to point out, in addition to what was already mentioned about strikeouts: when a batter made an out on a ball in-play (infield groundout, I think) for the first or second out of the inning, he disappeared--poof!--as soon as the first baseman caught the ball. It might look better if he turned and ran back to the dugout, the way the guys did after striking out, or the batter who flew out to CF to end an inning. |

Fellow members, please bury this post with subsequent commentaries of your own.
Nevertheless, I feel compelled to state that I was wrong years ago when I resisted the introduction of animation to this game. I did not trust that basic game quality would be preserved regardless. End of confession. [Darn. Why did they make those smileys so huge? Look at the size of that thing!]

I am going to very busy next week, the do not disturb sign will be in the forefront as I work through all this amazing simulation has to offer in 19.
Thank you to all who were involved with this new creation that again will bring me countless hours of pure enjoyment for at least the next year. |

And because we've put a lot of effort into making sure the action on the field matches the PBP details, that just means that even if you don't use the 3D, it just makes everything else fit together. I was also a little hesitant at the start, and I did a lot of the work on it. I remember one time back in December or January a couple years ago, I was struggling with getting the fielders moving right, we didn't have runners going right, and I just sent an email to Markus being like, "I can't do it! I can't get things going right. I just can't stare at these pawns anymore!" And I had to take like a month off not watching the gameplay to just refresh my brain. But after I came back to it, when I went to add the runners going around the bases, they just... worked. Like, it was so much easier than I had initially expected. And then that first year, I also remember looking at things like 2 weeks from release and thinking that there were still massive problems. But we had set up a great foundation of a system that we pushed on it, and it came together. And since then, it's gone from being agony and frustration when playing with the 3D, to actually being fun. Like, I'll be playing out a game, and then be like, "you know what, on this play, wouldn't it be neat if [...]", and like, ok, hack hack hack, it's done. And then I watch it play out, and it's so awesome. Like, I was working on some stuff this afternoon, saw a routine groundball, and pumped my fist because it was so awesome to watch. So, yeah. Not really related to your comment there above. But I started replying to your comment and then figured I'd share the rest. |

Marcus and his team with ootp has been a real blessing to baseball. You are getting close to a near perfect sim..with current, historical and fictional all in one.
It has gotten to the point where I feel like hopping a plane to Germany one morning in April or May just to say thanks for your hard work and open ness to the community in person. Many said a German couldn’t make a baseball sim, but sometimes it takes a person outside the normal box to see in a new way and take things in a new direction. Best wishes with 19... |

Yes, you can set up custom camera angles for each park in the ballpark editor. The game comes with two view for each park, the bird-eye view and one from a lower angle zoomed in a bit, called the wide angle.

but in every other way OOTP passed it by somewhere around v1 and is now infinitely better.

watched whole video this morning and as always am super excited about the upcoming release. game looks stunning.
funny thing is I watched whole video and never realized that was Markus's voice. Odd to have a almost 20 year meaningful "relationship" with another person and then hear their voice for the first time.
