What are the "Much more" features?

jpeters1734 · 01-23-2015, 07:31 PM

Just curious. Any chance we get split squad spring training teams. We can invite 60 players to spring training but most of them get zero playing time if I just sim through.

There are features than they have not told us about yet, and a lot of them.

Much more? If past years are any indication, that just means a few additional odds, ends, tweaks and adjustments. Basically, all the major new features have already been announced, so I wouldn't expect anything too extravagant (Tournament Mode anyone?...sniff...sniff).

Now, if he had written "Much, much more" at the bottom of the features list, we'd be in for something gargantuan no doubt (Tournament Mode anyone?...sniff...sniff).

Beta testing starts on Monday, and usually during testing some ideas come up that are easy to implement but useful. On top of that, we still have little stuff left to be implemented, for example multiple player shortlists. Nothing groundbreaking, but certainly worth a lot to a few users.

When playing PBP, will we see the players picture when clicking on his name while in game live? Because right now in OOTP15 there is no picture.

Hey Markus, now that you have MLB licensing...be prepared for OOTP to be used in OFFICIAL MLB shows, game presentations, news reports, simulations et al.

Believe it or not, what you guys did will become bigger than you think...

I know the NFL use Madden to sim the Superbowl and things, so that wouldn't be a surprise.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy as it sounds... we'll still have lots of convincing to do until they use us for editorial purposes.

Reactivation of defunct teams? Please?

Cryomaniac · 01-24-2015, 01:21 PM

Speaking of things I'd like, I mentioned this somewhere else, but could we have an "all pro team" for leagues without all-star games?

captaincoop17 · 01-24-2015, 01:30 PM

Retraction draft?

mgom27 · 01-24-2015, 01:42 PM

Live by play with hooking up with like ESPN or MLB Network?

And/or the option to select such a team manually so selections show up in the player's awards summary and the cool new trophy case.
