League file storage

[McBruce]

Wondering where the league files are being stored and if this can be a changeable option. I’ve begun largish leagues on two iPads and an iPhone and I am beginning to get messages about my (minimal) iCloud storage getting low. I don’t normally use iCloud, preferring instead to use (non-mimimal) DropBox, and I’m sure others do so as well.

Still very little to report in terms of bugs. I had one crash on the iPhone 11 SE when I forgot to clear other background apps (of course, it happened just as my tie-game-bottom-9th PH singled in the winning run), but no serious issues. I found some difficulty deleting a league when it was the only one I had, but I presume just starting a new one will make that easier. A few things persist from the PC game that baffle me:

—Olympic Stadium 1977, Expos night games include stars and a full moon over the outfield bleachers. Really doubting that they painted these on the wall…even before the roof was built it was completely enclosed except at the very top.

—Changing some schedule checkboxes during preseason sometimes results in a 150-153 game season unless you redo the schedule. It would be good for the program to check for this on the final day of the pre-season and send a message to correct automatically if the games in the schedule for each team does not match the number of games wanted in the settings. Seems to happen when you switch the ‘balanced schedule’ option.

—Would be nice to have the program check the main background colour for the two teams and switch one of them to a secondary colour if they are almost the same. On a cramped iPhone screen showing a game between the Expos (dark blue) and the Astros (also dark blue with a slightly grayer tinge) it is a bit difficult to tell the runners from the fielders at a glance before the 3D animation takes over.

—when you pinch hit for a pitcher he remains on the lineup and pitcher screen as the pitcher of record and the (usually) 9th batter. Might be better to show this as the PH in the #9 slot and put the PH in the pitcher screen as well with an asterisk to indicate that you probably don’t want this guy on the mound…

Wish I had more to report. No, actually, I don’t. I want to help but it’s great that I’m not finding any large problems!

Thanks for the updates

To hit a couple of the points you brought up;

There is no way to change where the files are saved, but they are all save to the device, it shouldn't be save to the cloud. If anything does get saved to the cloud please let us know

In terms of the crash you experienced, the iPhone 11 has 4gb of RAM, so it should never crash due to memory issues (even if you haven't closed anything in the background). It's more likely related to something else related to the specific scenario you encountered. If you have a trace file from that game, that would be super helpful. Otherwise please let me know if it happens again

I’d actually love it if you could save to the cloud so that you can play the same save on your phone or iPad. Hopefully this is something that’s implemented at a later date.

It would be nice in a future version to be able to store games online and play the same game on different devices. I keep wondering what happened to my five-star SS and then I remember he's in the iPhone league, not the iPad league....
