The Road to Release, Part 1 - The MLB.com License - Page 2

Elysian Fields · 03-11-2015, 10:44 AM

In the second screenshot, one of the minor leaguers pictured may have the wrong team logo. The Salem-Keizer player has the Salem, Virginia Red Sox logo and not the Salem-Keizer, Oregon Volcanoes logo.

Looks awesome though. I am so happy for you guys that you got the MLB license. Y'all deserve it.

We use the logos the way we are told by MLB, there are several versions for different purposes. (by the way, the Cleveland logo was a bug, I switched out the screenshot with the proper version now).

Yes, the logo loading code was still a bit buggy when that screenshot was made. This is fixed in the final version of course

LOVE IT!!! Only one picky thing: the background with the logos.

Well I'm happy that a lot of people are not skipping any versions since it could mean Markus not bothering to make more versions. He needs all the support he can get and since I love baseball and this is the best baseball sim in the world I will buy every version that comes out. I don't take his creations for granted and I feel that it is a privilege to have the opportunity to buy them.

With OOTP 16, when you create your historical league, you get all the historical logos and artwork as well! How cool is that?

Cooler than a popsicle on Pluto. I can't wait to start simming.

Also, if that screen shot of Progressive Field is any indication, the 3D stadium models look pretty damn good as well. Looks like a lot of work went into getting them just right. I look forward to checking that feature out as well.

Will historical logos automatically update on the fly as well? So when a team updated their logo in a certain season, when playing along will it automatically update? Perhaps something for future versions... Either way, sounds excellent.

OK, thanks for the explanation. Doesn't sound like good QA by MLB, but I appreciate your limitations as a licensee.

I already know your operation is top-notch

. It's why I pre-order every year.

Yes, we hired a 3D artist to do them and he has been working on them since November... hundreds of hours.

Having played it already in beta, I have to say it's certainly worth upgrading!

You mention later you skipped OOTP15 as well and that just makes it even more worth the upgrade. OOTP15 and 16 are the best and two most improved versions of the game ever imo.

The jump from OOTP14 to 16 will make it feel like you're playing an entirely new game.

Of course

People posting on a thread about a product to say they aren't going to buy it is kind of weird.

I should swing by the Mercedes website to tell them I am not planning to buy any of their cars this year...

People interested in the game should be allowed to voice their opinion. Nothing that's been posted in this thread has been out of line.

JWay · 03-11-2015, 12:41 PM

If you're around here, you're a fan of the game in some fashion. If you're making a post about not wanting it, you're either really bored, or its some cry for help in pushing their interest meter enough to justify buying.

Everyone should buy this game.

Habsfan18 · 03-11-2015, 12:54 PM

Haven't read the entire thread, but will the all-in-one still be available to download and install from the mod central like usual? I hope so, because it gives us all the nice graphics for every league in the quickstart.

Or is EVERYTHING that is usually in the all-in-one included right off the bat?

Curious because I noticed the newsletter states that minor league logos will also be on uniforms and caps. Does this mean it won't include the actual uniforms, but generated ones with the logo tacked on?

ShermLollar · 03-11-2015, 01:10 PM

I sure hope this is the case. The All-in One quick start was fantastic the last couple of years and I hope the new version will be as well.

Can't wait.

The game includes the actual unis, not generated ones

Probably a stupid question but will it be possible to install an AIO that adds the stuff missing BUT leaves all the new default stuff included because of the licence?
