The official OOTP 19 first impressions thread! - Page 3

slugga27 · 03-19-2018, 11:31 AM

My only complaint (as this is always a fantastic game) is that my in-game screen looks like this and I can't seem to fix it. The "controls & PbP" box will only extend horizontally and will not go vertical.

Edit: The second image is what my screen looks like before trying to move things around. Really, the only thing I wanted to move was the lineups (as you can see, they are overlapping).

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the skin files work for Macs again...I can finally customize again!

Why do you use the classic view? This has not changed since OOTP 18. I suggest switching to the new "modern" views in the view menu.

You know what...that seems to be the cure. I think initially, I didn't like it because I wasn't used to it, but considering the classic view is causing me issues, I've tried again and it gives me what I'm looking for.

FWIW, I mirrored my settings from OOTP 18 and was getting a different result for 19.

The historical ballpark mod is here if you'd like to manually install it:

Thanks for the lightning quick response. Questions: 1) Does it have 2017 ballparks? The OOTP18 one has everything through 2016, but not 2017. 2) Is the manual installation process idiot proof, or is it too complicated for a medium-technical type like me?

Orcin · 03-19-2018, 11:39 AM

The 3d game improvements are really amazing! For the first time ever, I am playing a game with all default settings and see no reason to change anything. Well done!

You should probably PM Lukas Berger about the installation process, he'll be able to help.

The game looks fantastic, everything is nice and clean, amazing.

The skins are awesome - right now I can't decide between the dark and the classic skin.

One thing that could be improved - the out-of-town scores should move more to the right (or maybe it could be possible some day to drag an drop the entire row?)

I'm using a resolution of 1920*1080

Loving gameplay!!! Seamless conversion for '63 season from 18 to 19!!! Thank you for a marvelous game!!!

Aaron's Aron · 03-19-2018, 12:01 PM

I love the way the game looks, but my game seems to be too big and I'm not sure how to fix it. I wanted to show you pictures but it wont let me printscreen or snip the screen with OOTP up. The window size in the setting is grayed out and it won't let me switch off of full screen mode either. I'm sorry I can't show pictures. I'm still trying to figure out a way around that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

To post pictures, save the “snip” then attach the file. The picture will then appear in the body of the post when you submit it.

Wow, How do I write a first impression without sounding like a fanboy? This game is superb!! The animations are excellent, the sync between the on field action and the PbP is much smoother. I just finished an historical exhibition between the 1969 Mets and the 1979 Pirates. The Bucs won 2-1 and I have to say that it really felt like I watching a real ballgame - albeit from the Good Year blimp - with all the suspense and tension the greatest game of all provides.

I'm a musician and sleight of hand artist by profession. My reaction is the same joyful astonishment as my audience expresses when watching my magic. Markus, Lukas, Matt, and ALL at Out of the Park Developments have developed what I now believe to be the BEST baseball sim hands down. You should rename the game Out of the Park Grand Slam Baseball!

So this game also answers the question of whether sleep is good. That answer is, "sleep is highly overrated!"

I can't snip at all with OOTP up because it is in full screen mode, so I can't click new snip and select the area to snip. Hmmm.

spleen1015 · 03-19-2018, 12:06 PM

At least these O's are getting better.

The Print Screen key will work. Alt-Print Screen grabs the active window. Then you can paste into an image program.

cavebutter · 03-19-2018, 12:08 PM

Ran a quick exhibition game and the graphics are far better than I had hoped, even after watching the videos. I really like the new layout.

Currently importing an old league and that's taking a while, so don't have much else to add at this point. Really, really, really good work!!
