The league menu has a section dedicated to spring stats&standings during spring training. Also, the team batting and pitching stats reports have dropdowns where you can view the spring split, as well as any player lists when stats are displayed.

When I go to stats reports and select Spring Training, nothing happens, it remains blank.

In general strategic tendencies during set up, use of relievers and closers are set to very often by default and pitcher endurance to low. Are these levels meant to be modern day equivalent or should they be set to normal to represent that?

Syd Thrift · 05-31-2006, 11:20 AM

Minor nitpicky issue: the game doesn't enter text right when I punch it in on the keyboard. Just a wee bit off-putting is all, and probably not something you can fix.

These represent modern-day MLB performance/strategy...

Thanks, looks great by the way

I still can't get the reports to work correctly but I was able to get the stats through the roster page. I would recommend adding an option so that the stats displayed when clicking on the player would coincide with where the league was. So show Spring stats during Spring Training, Regular Season stats during the season, and Playoff stats for the Playoffs.

Are there any plans to put the manual up as a separate download? (I fancy some bedtime reading)

Money is tight here also (stupid kids) I would like to second this notion ... Love to read it before I download the game next week.

I have no willpower. So much for my resolve to wait for the first patch.

Um... that startup screen looks pretty! ...that's about as far as I've gotten.

Marlinfan · 05-31-2006, 11:30 AM

I've been waiting for so long to play this, after about 20-30 minutes of looking around the screens & functions, I've just realised...I have no idea how to play this

As Markus mentioned, this is a bug, and has been logged and should be fixed promptly... Thanks for your attention to detail.

First impression ..

I love the fading in/out screens at the start.

Very nice.

The cut off for cities was a population of 1,000... right? If it is there are a number of towns missing from Newfoundland...

scouting question...

in the manual, it says you can scout a nation from the nation profile page. however, i've looked everywhere on there and i can't for the life of me find out where to assign a scout to that nation.

any help? is this only an option at certain times in the year?

Left click on the nation you want to scout. in the lower right hand corner you'll see a scout nation button.

If you don't have a scout nation button, you don't have scouting turned on.

When you go to demote someone that is out of options a message comes up telling me such. Considering OOTP 6.5 would then ask me if I wished to place the player on waivers I consider it a step in the wrong direction that I now have to click ok to that prompt and then manually put the player on waivers and/or designate him for assignment. I'd rather be asked as I'm trying to do something and then say no if thats not what I was going for then having to do the few extra steps every time.

Can you just be a commisioner without being a manager when you create a new league? I did choose the commisioner option but when the league loads it has that manager page instead of the league homepage. Thanks.
