Lightbulb Patch plans this week!

Update: The patch is live now: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=287293

Hey guys,

so we are currently working hard on the first patch for the game, we hope to release it on Wednesday. The release has gone really smooth but of course there have been some issues found which we have fixed / improved. On top of this, I also added a couple new features. So, here is the projected changelist for the patch:

- Improved Opening Day Rosters (need to create a new game for changes to apply)
- Added option to show player awards in the player profile completely, only one or only three per category (Settings dialog)
- Added the option to compare players on the pre-game screen sorted by position rather than lineup spots
- Added "Player labels color" option to the pre-game options, you can choose "Automatic" (which was the default and chooses between the team background & text color depending on which has the highest contrast to the logo) or "Team Background" which uses the team background color for player labels and other UI elements.
- Outs in the modern in-game screens are now indicated with red dots instead of yellow
- Fixed voting page qualifiers
- Fixed some event notifications (no longer display ! once HOF ballot has been cast)
- Fixed some options not being available in minor leagues or leagues with reserve rosters
- Fixed several 3D in-game player movements
- Fixed errors in the historical databases
- Tweaked inaugural draft AI
- Several fixes for two-way players (AI valuation, fatigue, league setting)
- Fixed several cosmetic issues and other bugs

Thanks for your support!

Markus

Just a though on the expanded standings page. I miss the color coded players of my team in the stats lists. The underscore doesn't really stand out. And it looks like this year's version is more color coded than past versions. Love the colors. Keep up the great work, everybody. Another reason to love this game is the upgrades. Thanks.
Always a big fan of this game. Was Season Ticket really THAT long ago?

I love the game so far but can you please tune the player contract demands.

10 years $395.750,000 million for Nolan Arenado

8 years $352,500,000 million for Charlie Blackmon

Kind of a bit crazy. Thanks.

Does that include the ability to set a foreigner limit for the minor leagues/reserve rosters?

No, these are demands and are realistic. If you negotiate well they will sign for far less

What are some tips and tricks for contract negotiations then? I remember OOTP18 was a lot easier to resign players.

You'll figure it out. What's the fun if I tell everyone?

Any fix on the getting the race of the players correct on field? Oh..other graphical issues are the catcher's gear matching team colors..pants matching too?

in the past you'd have to offer a couple contracts they'd reject, then they'd change their tunes.

if it's FA, wait until more people bid and let their demand drop -- risk is they sign while you wait counting pennies. just becaue they are asking for 36M doesn't mean anyone else offered that much..

check out payroll of your competitors. you can see if any can actually offer that much and better gauge how long to wait.
unlike you , when the ai offers something it isn't "rejected" immediately if it's a low-ball offer.. it simply remains there and only relevant if it ends up being the highest bid, of course. so a guy asking for 40m likely has more realistic offers form the ai. now, it's just a guess as to when to throw your hat into the ring.

same with iafa, you cn either overpay day one and be near 100% certain they'll sign if below cap, but waiting or day or two will bring numerous demands down. again, you risk losing the big ones within 2-3 days in many cases or their demand going up for the more expensive guys with some competition bidding..

mostly it's just timing and not upsetting them too much durring negotiations.

i haven't done much in 19, yet.

Did the OOTP Classic and OOTP skins get tweaked so you can actually read the play by play? Right now they just flash white. You can tell the play by play is there, but no way you can read it.

Always a big fan of this game. Was Season Ticket really THAT long ago?

I still have my Season Ticket game including the box in my closet. I should take picture & post it to give folks a idea where I started from with OOTP. It's come a long way, baby!!

Agreed. I'm not a fan of the underlining.
