Lightbulb Back to work!

Hey guys,

we have returned from our much needed off-time and will now start working on OOTP 14 again. The plan is to fix reported problems, improve the play-by-play commentary and maybe even add a couple of small features and then release an update in a few weeks.

If you have any small feature ideas, let me know here, maybe you can convince me to put it in

Cheers!
Markus

Hi Markus,

I will give you one idea which I think should be quite easy and one which would make me really happy.

Idea which should be quite easy: on the team salary overview page, add a (T) for team option years, a (P) for player option years and a (V) for vesting options, similar to the (A) already seen for arbitration estimates.

Idea which would make me really happy: When playing out a game, make it easier to skip ahead to where a substitution might be needed, i.e. autoplay until (a) my pitcher is tired, (b) one of my players is injured, (c) the other team substitutes their pitcher or possibly also (d) either team scores 3+ points. It could for instance be an option to have "Until End of Inning" interrupted by these events. Also, change "Until RISP" to "Until RISP or HR".

I know you'll put your best effort into it, just like we want to do.
Very well said endgame. You bet I'm anxious to get back to beta testing. I sure have missed it.

Not sure how hard it would be to add this, but I would love it if the ability to pick a starting point for random debut was added. For example, if 1901 is selected, no players prior to 1901 would appear.

Welcome back!

I would love to have the option to see the game log during the real time simulation of a game, instead of just the scoring plays. If I set a game to realtime then walk away from the PC for an hour, I would love to be able to see what happened in the game in progress, beyond just the scoring plays. Even if it is just an abbreviated log (just showing what happened each time the ball was put in play instead of each pitch, etc). It would make the realtime simulation moduled that much more realistic. Thanks for a great game.

I like to see a strength and conditioning coach that helps a
Player gain a certain % of power maybe 5% max or something
Basecoaches 1base coach help improve baserrunking skills and 3basd coach helps improve catcher's defensive abilities.

And there is no way of tracking all-time pinch hit leaders even if you go to retired and current players and do a look up with splits and double split it shows you the all-time hit leaders not pinch hit

Futures Game?
Team Contract with a Minor League Team?
Minor League Baseball League E.?
When a team moves or gets League expand by the Computer like lets San Jose gets a Team and theirs a California Divison then the team should go to that Division?
Lineup to allow both DH and Pitcher and if we say Yes to Starts allowed in Bullpen it should stay on and also 7 day DL for MLB because Iv'e seen somebody out for a Week and doesn't get put on DL.
If we have 30 days selected for DL then 15 can still be an Option to?
Transaction News for Leagues that are 2013 and beyond and also Ramdom Drafts to.
Restricted Free Agents and own the rights to a Rookie if they don't sign with and decide to go to School for the next 4 years.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

Markus - small request and certainly not priority, however would it be possible, on the reports home page, to add a link directly to the boxscore where it shows the results near bottom of page? (see red circled area in attached image)

I think this is a great idea. I use this screen often when deciding who I would like to offer contracts/extensions to. This would be very helpful.

I would respectfully suggest that the coaching system is in need of a larger overhaul than what can be done in a small patch, and I would rather see a significantly improved system in OOTP15 than little tweaks now.

Welcome back!

On the lineups screen, can we have some stats show for hitters down in the bottom (actual lineups) like we do for pitchers?

I suppose this counts as a fix instead of a small upgrade, but I would love to see the problem with uniforms when playing multiple games fixed.


Oh, and the inability to enter the second game of a double header before the game starts (but after the first game has finished).

Currently you have to wait until the game starts which means you can't adjust the line-ups.

Markus, I’ll try this once again regarding the historical ballparks file: Can you add the ability to import the Lefty/Righty ballpark splits for Batting Avg and Home Runs? The game currently only imports one factor each for avg, 2b, 3b, and HR - even though in the game the stadium factors have fields for LH and RH batters in Avg and HR. The era_ballparks database currently only has import fields for BA,2B,3B,HR. I'm proposing that this SHOULD be LBA, RBA, 2B, 3B, LHR, RHR.

Thanks!
