Can you manually make playoff schedules or is there the chance it won't work right?

I prefer too play with a lot fewer off days.

warm up rule is more realistic, relievers tire if you just leave them in there. makes life more difficult but is worth it for the realism!

My force starts being indicated in the roster-screen.

Also like in the player Editor how it gives a players personality a new summarization word under Personality Class. Fan Fav, Selfish, Normal, Captain, Slacker, Cancer...are a few I've seen so far.

Edit: Oh and the "Meet the Team" tab is a winner in my book.

Lot of little things I'm really liking.

I dont see the personality trait outside of the editor? Would love to see that without having to go thru the player editor every time. Thats a great addition.

Downloaded and fired up the game a little while ago. Then to test out some features, imported my 15 saved fictional league.


A small thing I noticed, and to be honest I don't recall seeing it in 15, but having a list of the eligible org Rule V draft players is a HUGE time-saver for me.


The fact I can use this when it is close to the draft and then use another widget the rest of the year is simply a nice touch.


AWESOME work on the game this year Markus, Andreas, Matt and company.

Neat touch with the link to see the stadiums in Google Earth.

Haven't had a chance to play yet.... but wait.... does the game put the actual stadiums into Google Earth, or just the locations?

If it's just the locations, that feature has been there for a couple versions (14 I think was the first time).

I've spent the last couple of hours gathering pics for each team's background image. Very immersed in this specific addition.

Where did you find this? Or is it only viewable around draft time?

The overall cool thing with the widget feature, is you can select options from the drop-down that show what you want. I don't believe it is tied to any point during the season.


If I remember correctly...I found it when I went to the team finances screen, with a drop down arrow in the upper right-hand corner of the 6 or 8 widgets shown. There are ALOT of options to choose from. Select what you want to display!

It opens up Google earth outside of game, and zooms right down to the actual stadium so you can see the real thing. I just thought it was a nice touch.

Ditto.. Love that feature as well as the ability to import historical players to any team I want using the import from text file feature.
Other features to numerous to list.

can you explain this or where i'd find it

EDIT NVM OMG JUST FIGURED IT OUT THIS IS INCREDIBLE

[sbailey85]

I already posted this in another topic but figured I would add it here to the list. I got an e-mail indicating my players were affected by the releasing of a good leader who is 1 star ...... I haven't player very well since.

[daveawrit]

I may have missed this in last year's version as it was a long year and I didn't get to play as much as usual, but I just found the ability to adjust the milestone settings during league creation. Simply awesome.

If you read the personality descriptions, that should give you the flavour of the player. It takes a little getting used to, but going forward, I would encourage you to read those more often now to get a sense of the player, and decide for yourself who your team leaders or slackers are.

When you say the personality description, are you referring to the personality/makeup in the scouting reports?

Except reading those descriptions gets tedious due to their repetitive nature. I also don't know what it means, if anything. Will a "slacker" perform worse than ratings suggest, or not live up to potential? If so, could the ratings be said to be wrong? Do players labelled "slacker" ever make the HOF?
