Editing ball locations

Ty Cobb · 09-23-2013, 08:16 AM

I love this game, but it is UNBELIEVABLY frustrating to try and edit ball locations accurately on a 5 inch preview when you have the better portion of a 27 inch monitor to watch play on.

How about a better ballpark editor so you can edit based on the size the picture will display at according to your "configure screen" settings?

How about the ability to download data for all your ballparks to a TXT file so you can mass edit them, the way you can export and mass edit rosters?

This has been brought up over and over and over, and my suggestion is always the same:

How about a system where all we have to do is designate specific points on the stadium picture, and have the ball locations filled in for us. I would think we would have to select the Pitcher's Mound, Home Plate, L/R Foul Poles, the Wall in L/LC/C/RC/R, and First, Second, and Third Base. And possibly the start of the Outfield Grass in Left, Center, and Right. With those 15 locations (which are much more user-friendly than the semi-obscure Retrosheet locations that OOTP currently uses), I feel like the game could be set up to reasonably place the rest of the ball locations. And, naturally, we'd be able to move them around afterwards to fix any errors.
