Er ... okay ... this is not helping the Game ... the War of Words ...
There are many options to tailor the Game/Leagues to our own personal flavor ... for that I am very appreciative ... whether I likes or dislikes are not voice over the forum unless it's hurting the overall of the Game of Baseball, as a whole ... but this isn't helping ...

While we're talking about storylines, would it be possible (probably for OOTP 15) to get something that allows us to allow a storyline to happen more than once, but not to the same player? I appreciate that it's not likely to happen as things are, but you could, in theory, have someone's mother die twice or something.
Could we also have a guide to editing the storylines at some point? |

Thanks Andreas... glad to see those options are in there already!
Reading through others' posts I remembered the one other major complaint I was hearing about storylines - huge hits to fan interest or market size. I haven't experienced this yet, but if I recall this was toned down in subsequent versions, right? Anyway, I've kept them disabled in my OOTP13 leagues and prior, but I'm rolling with them in the new league I started with OOTP14. I'll see how they treat me and adjust accordingly. |

That's a silly response that did not address the issue.

Like Andreas said, if you like them, use them. If not, turn them off. |

Actually I have given you my best constructive criticism. I have yet to see a serious response.

Sure it did. Dealing with off field issues is part of baseball. I was addressing the part of your post in which you talked about how you play the game to test your skill. Randomn events are part of everyday baseball and sure most managers would love it if all they had to deal with is on field issues. Never going to happen. I don't use storylines either, but I can see why people would want to.

I just think most storylines are unrealistic. Star players in their prime making millions don't suddenly leave to go play football.

Okay, let's break this down.
Andreas: 1. What is the official purpose for storylines? 2. Why have there been so many severely punitive outcomes from storyline stories (loss of market size, fan interest, etc.)? 3. Why are there so very few positive outcomes to storylines? 4. Did the OOTP design staff believe that there was insufficient randomness in the game before adding storylines? No, I'm not trolling. You wanted constructive criticism, I gave it, and now I'm asking serious questions.

I wonder if the like/dislike line also falls on the plays/sims line.
I am not saying it does... I just wonder. I think that if I flew through my games like some people do and I saw three storylines in ten minutes... I might not enjoy it. But when you play through those games and it takes months to finish a season, having storylines pop up makes the game more interesting and entertaining. |

That's fine. I don't use storylines either. Heck, I don't even use personality and Morale. I also don't worry whether or not others do. I use short pbp/instant and play out games fast. Do you ever see me on here yelling "get rid of play by play?"

Don't mistake dislike for anger. Storylines don't make me mad at all.

No, and I don't yell "get rid of storylines." I think they will be usable one day, and have said so repeatedly.

Fair enough. But, like everything else in this game it tends to be a process. Look at how far historical play has come over the years. Let's look at another aspect of this great game, league evolution. I think league evolution has tons and tons of potential, but as things stand now I feel it is a feature that was added to the game and forgotten. Nothing has been added or improved about it since its addition.
