On the game's main screen, would it be possible to add the name of the last opened league to the "Continue Game" button, right where it says "Continue where you left off last time"?
I don't know how many times I clicked that, forgetting which league I last had loaded up, and wound up loading the wrong league. |

Really, just get rid of the boxes altogether. Just a horrid look IMO.

I am still wishing the logo generator would be updated with more logo possibilities and a larger variety of fonts.

There is a templates folder where you can add your own but otherwise, yeah, that would be pretty cool. Maybe get an Old English style font in there, for instance. A basic Helvetica-ish font would be nice as well; in fact, I'd like to see some way to make the game default to a simple font for logo creation, as the action on some of the shields makes them look a little too busy IMO.

The trouble there is that the fonts would have to be licensed for use in the game. And that can get expensive. (If, however, the logo generator looked to a certain folder to find the fonts to use with a logo, and it accepted any fonts added to that folder by the user, then it would sidestep the licensing issue. The game need only include one or two shipped fonts and the user could add however many fonts they wanted to the folder on their own.)

Ootp13 html
IMO the HTML output for OOTP13 was a big step backwards from OOTP11 HTML. v13 HTML looks dated to me, a bit like BB Mogul HTML from 8 years ago or a much older version of OOTP. It's just eye candy but for online leagues the HTML is the game, and this was my biggest disappointment of OOTP13. I honestly find it painful to look at and will look into seeing how much I can mod it via CSS, template files etc., something I never felt was necessary in previous versions.

Well, I'll be darned. Still does, I just never hovered over it the 2-3 seconds it takes to see it.

If nothing else, the computer-generated source HTML continues to be a massive PITA to read, and that in turn makes it harder to scrape infos directly from the pages. Compare and contrast the page Killebrew tossed up with the pages at realgm.com, for instance: even though the latter arguably has more information to spit out and does a *lot* more with the info as well, the source code is a lot easier to read.

At higher resolutions the html reports are worse than terrible. It's like going back to the infancy of the internet. I can't fathom any one looking at the html reports the game produces and thinking they aren't one of the worst websites they've ever seen. It's a shame too, because the information they provide is needed and something I relied heavily on for my online leagues. Now I have to by-pass the html reports and wait 8 to 10 hours until I can download the league file and view the results in-game at home.

That might be overstating it a bit for my tastes. It could certainly be improved but I actually think the color scheme is easier to read compared to 12. The alignment stuff bothers me of course but I can overlook it for the easier readability. There was way too much white in the 12 HTML for my tastes. Basically I want to see the formatting from 12 and the color scheme from 13.

My resolution is set at 1600 x 1200. I LIKE the look of 13 over the previous versions by miles and miles. It's much sleeker, cleaner, neater, and user firendly. There are more reasons I like it too, but I won't bother creating a big list. Suffice it to say I'll take the new look any day. Could it be cleaned up a little? Sure, some fonts could be improved, alignment needs a bit of work, but it's far and away better than previous as far as layout goes. Your opinion may differ. Don't assume that because you don't like something nobody else does either. Last edited by Bluenoser; 06-19-2012 at 01:16 PM. |
