I still support the OP. He made a valid point that got conflated into many different points. But everybody got to express their own little pet peeve, relevant or not, or to be oh so brave about how tough they are, so I guess we are all happy. I love this game. I love 90% of this community and what they contribute. But on some days, I have to tell you, there is a group of you who just need to stop. |

That actually seems like the best option. It conveys a sense of urgency, leaves return open ended and isn't quite as morbid as a dead kid.

This is removed in the newest default_storylines file. When the upcoming patch comes out, it should be fixed for new games.

If you want to spend time editing code, go ahead. My job is to play the game as a customer. |

You think that just because someone done does something that they automatically deserve praise for it? I praise those who make mods that I value - Justafan, for example - but I do not praise those whose work I do not value. Nor would I ever help with storylines - would you waste your time working on a mod that you thought was useless? Some people apparently need storylines to help with immersion. That's fine. I play OOTP for the baseball, and I always turn storylines off. That's fine, too. You do what you want and I'll do what I want. You play your game your way and I'll play mine my way. And my way - and that of others - is with storylines off and you need to realize and accept that that's okay. Not everyone is going to like what you do or want to do things your way.

I will forever be perplexed by the ultra-sensitive, overly PC parts of our society.

Then you should play a different game. OOTP was created in a specific way to allow the user to make changes, such as the one you asked for. However, it sounds like you got your way and the change was made. Congrats.

Look at NFL Blitz for example. Back when it first came out on PS1 it was completely over the top with after the play hits and showboating, etc. And it was tons of fun. It got re-released on the Xbox 360 a year or two ago and they took all that stuff out because of how worried the NFL is about its image. It wasn't the same game, not even close. Same thing with celebrations in games like Madden, they really aren't there and as highlighted as they were 10 years ago because of the NFL's relatively recent war on celebrations (anyone remember NFL 2K5's celebrations?). Remember in the NCAA Football series about 7 or so years ago, when players would get suspended if their GPA wasn't high enough or they got in trouble at school? Yeah, NCAA said no more of that. Heaven forbid. I don't want the game to coddle me like I'm a 10 year old playing his first sports game. I want the possibility to have my or my opponents' players get arrested for drunk driving or overheard being racially/religiously insensitive or get caught using steroids (not "drugs" and not for just 5-10 games as OOTP currently has). I think that that stuff would only add to the realism of the game and immerse me more. I'm not trying to say that OOTP is going to go from amazing baseball to sim to terrible baseball sim with the removal of this particular storyline. I'm just saying that I want to see stuff like this every once in a while. It's a good opportunity to tie the personality stuff into storylines too (obviously not for things like dying family members, but for things like racial tirades and DUIs). Give us the option to turn off "mature" storylines if you have to. Don't overdo it, make it similar to real-life where it only happens a few times a year. Heck, I saw a guy in OOTP get barred from the game from life and thrown in prison the other day for running a Ponzi scheme. I thought it was hilarious, and I've only ever seen it once in 10+ seasons. It works well. But because someone might have been scammed by a Ponzi scheme once in their life and may get offended, should we take it out? No. I apologize for the long rant post. But this is something that's bugged me about games and even media recently (i.e. the last 5 or so years). Ultimately, the developers decide how the game is represented to the public, but I just wanted to blow off some steam. Last edited by philliesphan26; 08-22-2013 at 12:14 AM. |

Now, let's get rid of owner deaths. Teams should be SOLD like most teams are in rl.
