Game is out

lgkeeper · 03-23-2016, 06:38 PM

No idea what new features it has, but it's out

dwallom · 03-23-2016, 06:42 PM

i saw it on apple app store. any news on what is new in it?

lgkeeper · 03-23-2016, 06:44 PM

After 5 minutes with it? I can't find one change.

Texasborn · 03-23-2016, 06:56 PM

Same here

, then again they never actually said there be any changes. At least the app looks nicer and there is updated rosters.

Habsfan18 · 03-23-2016, 07:56 PM

Could be wrong, but at first glance there appear to be no feature upgrades at all. Big or small. Updated roster, that's it.

Unless I'm missing something.

I disagree, they did seem to make it seem like there were changes (assuming lukasburger works for the company).

An announcement was always supposedly forthcoming..... If they were just going to say this was a roster update, there are gonna be a lot of unhappy consumers.

Hmm I just looked on the App Store for the first time and I don't even see the game?

A little thin on any new features ... hope I'm missing something because even the screen bugs from last year's version are still present on my quick tour.

wodi · 03-23-2016, 09:56 PM

Yeahhhh there it is.... I had secretly hoped they took it down cause they didn't mean to release just a roster update

This sucks

Texasborn · 03-23-2016, 10:13 PM

N/a

BaseballBeast · 03-23-2016, 10:20 PM

Unless some massive update is released at Opening Day,I will not be purchasing this version of it as I am perfectly fine with MLB Manager 2015 even with the Roster Update. As much as I hate to say it, I hope this isn't them gently pulling the plug on MLB Manager

This

Texasborn · 03-23-2016, 10:38 PM

Idk this is weird, the game is out with no noticeable in game changes, ok, fine. But not even an release announcement? Do you think it was released by mistake?

KingxX · 03-23-2016, 11:32 PM

So literally no new upgrades?

Kent814 · 03-24-2016, 12:11 AM

Even if there is no new features I'm going to buy it because if sales falter then we won't get any new games. Its times like these where we all need to shell out the tiny $5 for this game in order to continue the game so maybe they can focus on it more next year. They seemed to focus a lot on FHM and OOTP 17 last year. Hopefully they redirect their attention to mobile next year

Markus Heinsohn · 03-24-2016, 02:59 AM

The game has updated 2016 rosters and AI improvements. Other than that is does not yet have any obvious new features, however keep in mind the game is already extremely solid and is not really intended to get overblown with features.

We will continue to provide free upgrades throughout the year which will add a couple of new features

But for next year we have some massive changes in the pipeline, essentially merging MLB Manager 2017 with OOTP 18, so stay tuned!

Thanks for your support!

Could you speak more in depth on the non obvious new features and AI improvements?

thespungo · 03-24-2016, 03:18 AM

Did they at least fix the ability to add in ballpark images through iTunes?

No, that is something that we cannot easily do because of some stupid Apple restrictions.
