Warming up relievers???

lgo64 · 06-03-2006, 11:06 AM

I'm try to find out how to warm up relievers before bringing them into the game. I can't see anything in the Team Substitution screen. Am I missing something???

Not in this version. Sorry, it maybe considered for future versions.

I am a manage the game type of player, and not being able to warm-up a reliever before putting him in the game takes the realism away. Don't get me wrong, I still love the new version, the pitch-by-pitch is awesome

...but the lack of warmups sort of pales things a bit.

Major stepbackwards, IMHO. As #3 says, it significantly takes away from the realism.

Just to clarify your statement--is this something that will possibly be addressed in a patch to OOTP2006, or something that is definitely off the table until OOTP2007 or later?

I can't speak to when/if it maybe added but I'm sure it will be considered.

It may take away from the realism, but this is actually something that was broken in the past and didn't really add to the strategy of the game. In the modern day MLB where you can simply stall for time and have a pitcher ready in a heartbeat, the old system from OOTP6.5 and earlier (3 batters before warm) just didn't work. I'd rather see no system than a broken one, IMO. If they get it working better, then it would add to the realism though, I agree.

Im another one really expecting this option to be added soon in the game... I will pray for it
