placement of players in ballpark pic

thehef · 03-08-2014, 07:09 PM

In the past - (versions 12 and prior, for me) - I had found that the easiest way to position the fielders, runners, and batter into the right places on a freshly imported ballpark pic was to wait until I actually encountered that pic in played-out game, and then move them around. This was easier that positioning them in the ballpark editor because the image is bigger in a played-out game (and the players are so cramped in the editor that even if I were to move the players there, I would eventually need to fine tune their placement in a played-out game). Now, however, in v14 I am finding that although you can move the players around during a played-out game, the changes to do not stick.

Is this what others are finding? Or is there a setting somewhere that is causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, I always use the method you just described and my positioning always sticks. I can't think of a reason they wouldn't.

I put in coordinates to get them close to where I want them to be, then I use your method to fine tune the locations... Mine for the most part stick, but there have been a couple of occasions that they revert back...

Are you potentially playing a day game after a night game, but using the same picture? Day coordinates and night coordinates are different from each other.

That's the only thing I can think of that would make them appear to not "stick".

I don't think so but am not certain. Will check that. Thanks
