OOTP 17 Complete Feature List - Page 5

What is the longest string of sellout crowds you had so far ??
Has anyone yet have a season where every game was a sellout ??

r0nster · 02-28-2016, 11:13 AM

I should note that I have never had it happen as for season sellouts.

The best for me was near sellouts from late May to September. Actually thought perhaps found the right formula but didn't work the following season as my attendance took a dive. Oh well but is a good challenge to say the least.

Either as part of the above feature addition, or not, does anybody know if the bug described here - http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...stats-bug.html - has been fixed?

Also, is Historical Exhibition mode limited to 2 teams from history, or can you play an exhibition game/series among, say, 2 teams in your historical league? For example, if I just finished my historical 1942 season, can I choose the White Sox and Cubs - not from history, but from my OOTP '42 season - to play an exhibition series (sort of like a City Series)?

The bug with exhibition stats not being tracked has been fixed.

The second one is not supported, you need to schedule the exhibition games manually.

- Recoded scouting algorithms, young players are more often overrated and veterans are more accurately scouted

Quick question about this. Is this going to be going back to the system of a few years ago that made the draft seem a lot better than it actually was? Or is it a more refined scouting system somewhere in between 16 and 14? I know this was a frequent discussion point about peoples perceptions of young guys in the game.

"Added option to always allow the GM control over lineups and pitching staffs even while playing GM-only"

Thank you! Now I can stop firing my manager every time he becomes good enough to deny me control over the lineups.

FYI, this is "baiting" or trolling. Why don't you practice what you preach? You should know that there are forum members who are offended by this Donald Trump comment.

So I guess this isn't going to happen.

Does that mean the game officially uses his mod now? Or are there just some new named added?

Basically what I'm asking is, if I prefer his nameset to the default one, do I now no longer have to download and install his separately?

Yes, it now includes the modern version of QuestDog's names mod

Awesome!

QD mentioned though that it doesn't get along with the MLB QuickStart. And I actually saw that first hand. It only worked well with fictional league's.

I assume it shouldn't be a problem now that it's officially added?

Yes, everything is fine. The names re-import had bugs in OOTP 16 which are now fixed for OOTP 17.

Redleg · 02-29-2016, 01:25 PM

Could we get an option to turn off the automatic scheduling of end-of-regular-season tiebreakers? I would like to break the ties myself, based on my own criteria, without playing additional regular-season games.

As it is now, If I manually delete the tiebreaker games, OOTP just reschedules them for the following day, ad infinitum. I have found no way to get past it.

If this no-tiebreaker option were enabled, I could manually set the playoff matchups and then get a dialog box asking something like, "Finalize postseason seedings and proceed to playoffs?"

Currently, though I can manually set the playoff matchups and manually play the playoffs and manually delete the tiebreaker game(s) that are continually rescheduled day after day, when I come to the end of my manual playoffs the tiebreaker game(s) are still there and the game still thinks it is in the regular season and I have no way to advance beyond that.

Good enough! Thanks

Wrong thread. My bad!

Just got my pre-order in. Can't wait for another great OOTP.

Okay, I'm in.

Baebae32 · 03-02-2016, 11:14 AM

I don't know if it is just in my save but feeder league teams do not remove players from DL after they have recovered. Currently I have to go in and do it manually for each team. I want to know if this just a local problem and I seek the solution for it if it is. However if this is consistent across the board could we please get this fixed for 17. Thanks
