The whole 3D experience is now so immersive. Thanks team OOTP!
And, a special shout out to Silvam and Adion who made the ballpark and added in the crowds and backgrounds, respectively. I don't even know/remember who all made the historical facegens and the grand catalogue of historical logos and jerseys. But, to all of the great and talented and generous OOTP community who contributed to all of the details in that picture, you're the best. (Now, get out my way. I need to lose another 100 hours of my life to this game.) |

wow, how in the world do you get so close?
What i would love, is to have that view and if a ball pops higher than the top frame, for it to zoom out

Yes, I never thought I would say this, but I love those pawns and the 3D ballpark experience.
I still prefer the classic pawns. I hope they will always offer this option, as it "gets the job done" without shading over into resource-draining and ultimately repetitive animation. I think it was High Heat, that image of the 2B jumping up to complete the DP. Over and over again. I know it will not stay this way - time and innovation march on - but I would be forever content at this level of animation while the game progressed on other fronts.

NOTE: Using - on the Y-axis, you get the field closer to the bottom of the screen. There are some pop ups and a few high-flies that arc above the top of the screen, but you can follow them with the ball shadow and the fielders' movements. For me, the detail on the uniforms and on the pitches in the "super-close, super-wide" view is worth it. There's no view that's perfect, but I think it's fun to create several and then watch/manage games from different places. I've even played around with "umpire view."

Excellent look. If I could figure out how to get that on my 32" screen I would really be tempted to get OOTP18 again. But I'm 72 and setting things up and playing game by game is just so detailed and for me sometimes so complicated that I gave up and reluctantly got a refund. But I still keep a close eye out on the game.
Your stadium with the players close-up and the full detailed player stats box looks terrific.

You know what would be helpful is if someone would make a video to show folks how to add all of the mods. I may be able to make something like that in Camtasia (in a month or two, I'm slammed at work). If there is a community member who is good at voice-over/screen capture videos and could throw something together, it might be a great thing for users like this. |

Now, I will say that one thing I'd really like to see is PBP that is keyed to the action, but adds more "color" before, after, and between pitches would enhance immersion. For the time being, I like animation so much that "short PBP" is worth it, but a more expansive "verbal" aspect combined with the action on the field would knock me out. (In my mind, Vin Scully is always calling my OOTP games, anyway, and man, could he tell stories as the game went along.) |

How do you get close on the 3D view? Instructions, game settings or stadium settings, etc.?

The top right hand part of screen in first pic looks like it might say "super wide". Is that a real setting?

It's a setting I made. When I load up a 3D stadium, I make several different views and just label them in a way that I'll remember what they are. That's one of mine.

I had ZERO knowledge that this was even possible. This changes EVERYTHING. You sir just packed on at least 20 hours of editing time for me this week and I can't thank you enough

You're welcome, and GREAT username, btw. (I live in NYC and I still go see live jazz at least 2-3x a month. 'Trane forever!)

Wow, that view is great! Since I manage my games, I would love to see if I can mimic the view from the dugout. I messed around with the settings and couldn't figure it out -- I'll have to try again.

Yeah, the dugout is tough because you can't really control the direction of your "gaze," so it's very difficult to see down the baseline of whichever side you're on. You can easily place yourself in the dugout, but I haven't been able to get a scan of the field that I like from there. Every once in a while, I think it's fun to "sit" in the bleachers or stands, but I find that I come back to a behind-home-plate view, and from there, adjust in-out/up-down.
