1. It would be great if players from the amateur draft got sent straight to the Minor League Roster, if possible. There's nothing worse than a player being drafted placed right away on my 25 man roster, and then being angry when he gets sent down. I realize this can be fixed by having an already full 25 man roster, but sometimes when I have someone on the disabled list and forget to call someone up, it's a bad situation to be in. 2. The allstar email, you can't scroll all the way to the bottom of the email to see the players in the allstar game. This also applies for player history. 3. It would be great if starters had a little less value in the draft, as it's pretty much impossible to draft a starting pitcher after the 20th pick. 4. This might have been fixed, but whenever you get really late into the years (ex. 2100), if you click on the hall of fame your game will crash. 5. Some stats are a little bit too close together, hard to read 6. Other teams still send scrub players for your stars, that gets rather annoying after awhile. At the trade deadline, I always get 40+ emails that I really don't want to look through considering most of the trade offers sent are garbage either way. 7. Other teams can send you money in a trade, but we as players don't have the option to add money or take away money. The money also doesn't have much value, so when you get a trade offer from the AI, you can remove all the players in the trade, do a scrub for scrub + $1.5 million and it's pretty cheap. 8. I'm not one to usually play games, but when I do I think it would be great to have better management of the bullpen. Would be a great addition if you could get relievers warming up in the pen, rather than just throwing them in the game. 9. Free agency seems a little back and forth, as I've seen superstar generational talent players sign in free agency for $12 million, and good but not amazing players sign for well over $20+ million. 10. The trade block only has angry players. I see why teams would players they soured on on the trade block but, there's many more instances in which a player is on the block. I'm not to sure about this, but does putting a player on the trade block do anything? I don't recall ever getting offers for players I have put on the trade block. The whole trade block thing is a great idea, but at this point it's pretty poorly done. 11. Players who refuse to negotiate a contract with you is very irritating. I think it's a great idea, adds a little bit to the game however it happens way too often. There's not much worse than a star player on my team refusing to negotiate a contract, I should be able to at least send him an offer to try and work something out.

Are you playing on the iPad? My ASG e-mails load fine on my iPod, it's just that when you have a player with a lot of history listed, you can't see the last 1-2 results. And if MR's had a little more value and you couldn't get your next closer with the 100th pick The farthest I've gotten is around 2050, so I've never had that issue. It would be great that players who retire who don't make the HOF aren't deleted, and you could still look up his stats in player search or in the championship section. Granted, once you get up there in years, it would be a huge memory hog, so maybe have the option to turn it on/off. For me, that only came up in our hitters' dominate leagues. And on the expanded pitching stats screen when you have enormous K/9s. This is probably the most annoying. After playing 150 seasons over different games, only about 5 deadline offers were worth considering. This could just be a simple bug fix, but if you delete everybody in your trade except the person you want and the money that team is giving, you can't delete the money. Since I never play anything else, I can see how beneficial this would be, but since I only look at box scores, I couldn't care less. This is common in real life. I find it funny to look at that 3-star shortstop who wants a 7/$25 mil deal, when I signed a 4-star 2B who I converted to a SS to a 3/$5 mil deal. I just thought of something else that somebody else mentioned. Say a guy wants 3 years/$10 mil at the beginning of free agency. He's not worth anywhere near that, so you offer him 2 years/$5 mil per. He says that there is NO WAY he'll sign for that little! Three months later, at the beginning of Spring Training, he signed for exactly that. Also, with starters having so much weight in the draft, they have so little weight in free agency. If you need a quick rotation fix, you can get a solid 3rd-4th starter for $2 mil a year or less. Putting a player doesn't do anything except it means that you get 50 bajillion trade offers from the same team for their angry player on the block. Sometimes you can find cheap contracts and get a really good steal. But this is usually not the case. Once, I declined an offer and it sent the same trade back! Maybe it's too much real life, but most of the time my stars who refuse negotations before their last season sometimes warm up a bit towards the end. And if you really. want him back hut can't get him to sign, get him in free agency. |

There are some trading inconveniences KingxX already went over. I would love the ability to add more than 3 players per side to a trade without having to hit the "Make this work now" button. Just a thought.
On the other hand, there are plenty of times when the bottom lines of an email, player history, and even articles in the League News when the bottom line(s) are cut off on my iPod 4th gen. Not sure if other people experience this issue in those 3 areas but I do. |

Is an Android version completely out of the picture for iOOTP 2013?

Has the (small) possibility for a wild pitch/passed ball and have the runner thrown out at Home been fixed?
I've also experienced various scrolling issues (mail screen and player cards info cut-off as they fill up with info). - the ability to edit Fictional League stadium names. - 60 day DL, Paternity List (kidding) - Postseason stats (this can be combined statistics to reduce clutter) I would also suggest the app size increase to accommodate additional stats/features, if need be. Lots of games are well over 250MB now. Apple also increased the cellular data App Store limit to 100MB in recognition of this. |

There will, however, be no more updates to the game this season. |

If you to to the Active Player list, and sort by "Pitching Stats 1" or "Batting Stats 2", you can see a better leaderboard for home runs, pitching wins and such. Although if the actual leaderboard was more than top 3, that would be great too. But this is probably a better way to do it for now. |

A solution to one of your things: For leaving the active player list and going back, filter the players to DH. Since there should be no DHs, it will go to Page 1. Then filter to whatever you want. |

A few more ideas:
Something that could be implemented in later versions is a waiver system and a Rule 5 draft. It would be useful for cellar-dwelling teams to claim players off waivers. I saw this suggestion in a different thread and it brings up a good point: I like the idea of allowing teams to bank money that they don't plan on using any time soon so they can use it later. This would be useful for rebuilding small-market teams, like what the Astros are doing in real life. Another fairly obvious addition would be to allow more than 2 players to be inducted into the HOF each year. |

I have also seen a bug where at the end of the season I get the email with the teams that made the playoffs, but no teams actually appear. It is just the standard text about the post season with no teams after the colon.

Thanks for your feedback guys Sebastian is back at work for the iOOTP 2013 update, so he will look into the reported issues and fix the ones he can reproduce.

I, for one, am more than willing to be an active beta tester (iPhone 4S, iOS 7) for any update (if you need any). I play multiple times a day and am experienced with software development and testing.

Get me "improved gameplay" (I really don't care what - just keep bringing over more changes from OOTP), and proper support for the iphone 5 (use the whole screen, and I'll buy it.
My only recommendation is to change the pitching rotation screen to give me some stats along with my players, even if I have to scroll. I like having a couple numbers to tell at a glance how my hitters have been on the year, would be nice to see the same basic stats for pitchers (record, ERA, WHIP for starters, saves, ERA, and WHIP for relievers?). |

It is actually exchanged. If you receive a trade offer that has your team give $3 million to the other team, your budget will go down by $3 million. If you receive a trade offer that has your team receive $3 million, your budget will go up by $3 million.

Thanks for the confirmation. I don't think I have actually been offered a trade with cash that I accepted. I just knew that they can be offered.
