Any time for official release?

Just curious is this a midnight release or what time frame is it looking like. I bought through the official ootp site so I'm assuming I will get a download email?

Thanks in advance

Will there be a list of fixes from the 2nd public beta version?

Not a detailed one I am afraid. We fixed almost all reported issues and tweaked the trading frequency a bit and also have the latest MLB rosters (need to start a new game for those changes to apply).

Thanks

I already paid for it off your site a few days ago so I assume I'll need to download it from your site so hopefully it will be up soon to download.

There will be a 64-bit version, right? I downloaded the beta and it doesn't look as good as '15. I'm guessing it has something to do with it being 32-bit.

This has nothing to do with 64 bit. Do this: Locate your OOTP 17 icon, right click -> properties -> compatibility tab -> toggle the high DPI setting. Restart the game. That will fix your problem.

Markus, last question for today if you don't mind.

I'm noticing a few posters have mentioned that when they created expansion teams, they aren't getting any selections in the amateur draft. Does this only affect the 2016 draft? And is it because that specific draft has the real draft order coded into the game?

There are also some problems with that draft (41 picks in round 1, 36 in round 2, and only 7 in round 3) so I'm wondering if problems are being caused only by that specific draft year.

Yes, if you expand, you need to manually create a new order (i.e. random). The other draft round stuff works as intended, I have not seen any issues here.

Marcus, does a few minutes translate different in German than English?

Completely understood, Markus, but can you clarify one thing? In some posts on here you indicated that the neutralized stats with historical minor league players issue would be fixed, can you explain what the fix is or is going to be? Will selecting neutralized stats with historical minors mean that the game looks at neutralized stats for major league performance but real stats for minor league performance?
