I have to agree.

I would also like to see storylines that involve different teams. When Roger Clemens initially left the Red Sox, he held a vendetta against them famously pointing to Dan Duquette every time he struck someone out on the Red Sox in his first game pitching against them. It would be fun to see this type of season long storyline popping up in the headlines from players that were traded or not resigned by their original team.
Or another example would be a season long storyline involving a pitcher who keeps brushing back or hitting a particular hitter. That sort of thing happens in real life as well, and I think it would add some flavor to see this replicated in OOTP as well. A recent example of that is Grienke vs Quentin. |

Why don't you tell us how you really feel Wolf? I don't think your opinions on this matter are clear enough
And while I have your ear, is the league you posted about in the "I want your league" thread from battists available anywhere? I had sent you a PM about it but never heard back. |

As for the feature being something only 12 year olds are interested in? We (me included) are literally staring at a computer screen, getting invested in fake players winning fake games that nobody else in the world knows or cares about. Now we all enjoy it, but to act like certain features are off limits because they only appeal to kids is silly because the very act of playing a computer baseball game at best is acting like a kid and at worst is a total waste of time. Damn...I need a drink |

OOTP is a baseball simulation. You want to play an RPG, buy Skyrim. I did.

An RPG is where you control one character and go through a storyline and go through like battles and stuff. I think OOTP's intent is to be a simulator. I think you guys have your hopes set too high sometimes. Let's focus on improving the AI and other things before we can start worrying about some added storylines. There are other things that are more important to the core of the game than a feature many users turn off. EDIT: You say here: "my basic understanding is you put together a group of characters with the best ratings possible in multiple categories to go kick some butt. Sounds like OOTP to me. Are we assigning arbitrary ratings to the GM now? Like how good you are at drafting, signing players, etc... Last edited by mpejkrm; 10-16-2014 at 07:38 AM. |

Your elitist attitude is really uncalled for. You don't agree with his opinion so you call him 12 years old for having it. Since when did your opinion become the only one to consider?

I don't think this is a terrible idea, but it's an idea that has very little probability of ever being developed into the game. The designers have to take consideration of the fact that the people who purchase their product have a wide range of how they play the game. A feature such as this one would pose some issues for the guy who finishes a season in a matter of hours.
In addition, this just doesn't seem like it's a feasible idea at the current point in time. To institute this would require the allotment of resources by the dteam, and those resources are very likely already assigned to address other areas of the game. I just don't think it's realistic to think this can be installed into the game anytime in the near future because of the difficulty it presents for the developers. |

I've seen plenty of teams in my leagues that I thought "how did they even make playoffs? on paper they look so average", that is when i use my imagination that this team was all about heart and create stories in my head for my league. I don't need fake chemistry ratings. If by having storylines on (which i do) it means more storylines (which i'd like to see, honestly think there is a lack of) and a team wins 10 games in a row and i get a storyline on their chemistry, fantastic! as long as it isn't legitimately affecting the game outcomes. |

Can we just give them death first?
I mean, if we're talking about realism, how about we start with mortality. |

Some individual's myopic view aside
These loud minority ranters have gotten their way so much that I have to turn off 20 things to accurately try and simulate history, is it such a hassle for them to turn off 1 or 2 features? They can turn off personality and coaches, why not just turn off chemistry? The 2013-14 Dodgers did |

The 1914 Braves had 3 great leaders with great work ethic in Evers, Gowdy and Maranville and bit players who knew their roles and were decent people. In 1915 the get clubhouse pain in the ass Sherry Magee giving up two great work ethic, smart, leader types who were humble players in Possum Whitted and Oscar Dugey...and start going downhill and who won the pennant? The Phillies (mostly due to who should be a HOF manager Pat Moran, but these two players who would go onto to coach and manage, respectively, helped) The Cubs previously had Evers,Bresnahan and Tinker butting heads (too many cooks in the kitchen)when Chance and Mordecai Brown left and also got selfish players like Heinie Zimmerman and Red Corridon (the guy who played back to give Lajoie the batting title in 1910 and was involved in Durocher's 1947 suspension) So back in the old days of baseball when players spent a lot of time together, chemistry was a factor...the stats even prove it sometimes.As for your other points about upbringing, I think that is going over the line Today's game, money is the factor and we have players sulking because they don't play or aren't getting paid, and I see no one who is against that on these boards. We shouldn't have one without the other and both should be ON/OFF option |

The salient fact is that turning a high-end baseball simulator into an RPG is an incredibly stupid idea and would be a colossal waste of resources that could be devoted to improving the simulation. We can't even save and load lineups yet, and you guys want the game to become an RPG? Give me a #%^*}{] break.
