My (and Matt's) probably favorite new feature of OOTP 16...

Markus Heinsohn · 01-24-2015, 12:05 PM

... is something really small. But, for a reason I cannot really explain, it adds so much to the game: That little player trophy case in the sub headline of the player profile screen. It covers all the awards of OOTP 16 plus championship rings.

See this example from a fictional test league, a dominating pitcher who even won the MVP in the first year of that league. Isn't that pretty? You immediately see if you're dealing with a scrub or a living legend when visiting a player profile. And when you move your mouse over the award icons, a popup will tell you which award exactly it is.

Here's another one... 8-time All-Star, 5 Gold Gloves and 3 MVPs.

Fabulous work guys. That looks phenomenal.

Lukas Berger · 01-24-2015, 12:07 PM

Ok, that's seriously cool

darkcloud4579 · 01-24-2015, 12:07 PM

That is a nice touch for sure.

Cryomaniac · 01-24-2015, 12:10 PM

That looks awesome.

DustinthePOWERHOUSE · 01-24-2015, 12:13 PM

Amazing, I am absolutely thrilled with that. Thank you SO much.

Honorable_Pawn · 01-24-2015, 12:28 PM

Excellent idea. Good thinking.

Is it possible to mod the icon?

They are included in the raw skins which will be available via the add-ons dialog, so yes.

Honorable_Pawn · 01-24-2015, 12:32 PM

As an aside I love the new tab separation.

It's a shame as to what happened to Erik Taylor. I'm curious as to if he had a history of concussions, or if he just happened to get his first one that year. At 38, he was at the end of the line anyway, but that's a shame.

xydra · 01-24-2015, 12:46 PM

Awesome Addition, definitely adds to the presentation.

Habsfan18 · 01-24-2015, 12:54 PM

Awesome stuff, Markus!

Obvious question though: What happens (in an unlikely scenario) where it runs out of room?

Hockey13Playa · 01-24-2015, 01:00 PM

Wow that's so awesome. I'm a huge fan of this!!!! I always end up looking over players and their accomplishments so this is perfect!

Matt Arnold · 01-24-2015, 01:07 PM

Yeah, this is pretty much my favourite feature that we added. It makes star players look so much prettier

The row continues over on top of the first row

Sebastian Palkowski · 01-24-2015, 01:24 PM

I will steal that idea for FHM 2.

tward13 · 01-24-2015, 01:28 PM

That's very nice.

Throne_Taker93 · 01-24-2015, 01:42 PM

Question: Now that you have the MLB License will Awards now have the correct names? Like Cy Young, MVP Etc?

Also will Pitchers be able to win MVP or whatever the equivalent is? For example: Clayton Kershaw....

DJ3K · 01-24-2015, 01:55 PM

Great new feature! Erik Taylor was the coach on the friday night lights I think
