Real Time Sim: Time between half innings seems very long

kopuz · 04-29-2014, 04:08 PM

Hey all,

Last night in our online league we had year 2 World Series. I setup a Teamviewer session and owners remoted in to watch the Real-Time sim. It was a total blast!!! However, the length between half innings and innings was extremely long. The machine I use as my OOTP host is upper top end, so it is not a hardware issue.

Thought: When we changed the factor, it appears to direct effect how much time was spent at the break of a half inning. Now if if the game has a set time delay that is relative to the factor. Which would be a bit odd.

Is this an option I can set somewhere that I have no yet found?
Has anyone else noticed this?

It's meant to simulate TV commercial breaks, so that the total time-length of games is in line with the modern day reality. It's real time -- not a sim lag -- so the time factor naturally has a direct effect on how long the break feels, just as it affects the time between pitches.

As far as I know, there is no way to change this.

That time in between innings is a good time to go get a hot dog.

I can live with this.

As much as I would like the ability to modify this delay (sometimes the ADD monster must be fed!). I can live with it, leaves me enough time to grab another vodka.
