My impressions and questions on the preview.
 

First this preview is much better than last years.


Names and numbers on jerseys, nice! I assume these will work with mod jerseys that have a blank back? Contreras has the swoosh on his pants. Nobody in stirrups in the video and batting helmets appear to be unchanged. Looks like shoe colors are in.
Some nice immersion and quality of life additions.

The way the camera is moving around the stadium in the preview video. Will we have the same free moving camera to play with while playing out a game?

I assume there is also ball direction on-field graphic for outfield as well as the infield one show?

Anxious to see how the new financials, and other mentioned features are expanded on during the road to release.

The one screen they had of options that can be added to views, I think, had no changes. But it was only the default first screen. Hopefully there are new additions on the other tabs for both players (what they showed), and the team sortable stat views.

Some other things I see when pausing the preview..

"Edit Finances" tab, on the Front Office page
"
Offer History" on the player's contract page.

"Historical Simulation Accuracy" tab is shown on the 2023 season. Does this mean this feature can be used for any league to see how your present league is performing compared to your current LT's and LTM's?

The new crowds seem to have fixed the "tunnel issues" in the stadiums.


I'm just finishing up my latest season in v23. With new financials I think I'll be waiting for v24 to do a fresh import before moving on. That's about 5 weeks without OOTP :ohmy:

Updating my historical uniforms for 24 to remove jersey numbers and names as we speak

I found this funny, as in humorous. Must be Harry Doyle on the call.

Buck Martinez says "Hold my beer"

You really are too good to us. :D

Thank you!

Ditto. The historical stadiums has made OOTP sooooooo much more enjoyable for my historical sims, it's insane. All the love here.

I’ll be interested to see how much customization there is with the names and numbers. That’ll be pretty damn great though.

just inside the foul pole LOL

so many wonderful details!!!! so pumped ! YAY instant buy!

Another useless post. Don't have anything better to do?

I laughed out loud. That is really close to the foul pole in left-centerfield.

Look where the shadow of the ball is... ;) This was from a replay, the PbP was already displayed during the play.

Just a bit outside

The ball is in mid-flight, it hasn't left the park yet.

Is there any word on how the numbers are applied? I hope it something the game does automatically and that we don't have to add numbers to individual jerseys. That will add a lot of graphics.

The LFer is moving as if the ball is near the foul line. The CFer isn't doing anything as he's not part of the play even as a backup.

This. There is an optical illusion due to when the screenshot was taken making it look like the yellow line will end up in L-CF gap seats.

When one looks at the shadow, as Markus says, and the left fielder it starts to make sense. IE that yellow line, not frozen in a screenshot, is going to move along the same track to LF. Draw an imaginary line down from the end of the yellow line to the shadow of the ball on the field and it puts it in perspective. In motion it will work, frozen it looks off.

was thinking the same thing actually but you beat me to the punch LOL

Let's see if this helps...

It might also be curving left due to wind/spin ;)

Yah. No. This ball is headed for the left CF gap and Buck would be yelling...."Get up, ball, Get up, GET UP, Get outta here" at this precise moment.

I am interested in the new financial settings. Also this past season my team had 3 different budgets depending on where I looked. First, the AI budget is based on rev, etc. Highest. Then the Cap budget, and the third owner's budget. It would be nice if the owner's budget showed up everywhere, to me that is the most important. Also hope there is a formula to set a cap or tax number, and that they increase year over year.

The preview looks promising! Excited about the improved immersion and quality of life additions. Can't wait to explore the new features, especially the financials. The wait for version 24 will be worth it!

:confused:

Obvious spam bot is obvious.

Ok, I get that but to what end? What's the point?

Presumably, the glowing praise and breathless anticipation is meant to aggravate all of the curmudgeons in our midst. I mean, if I were a curmudgeon or a cranky old dude, all of that swooning by “Maria” would make me ill. I mean, I’m a glass-half-full person, and it is still nauseating. Those taking the bait would light up the boards.

No, these bots tend to add innocuous looking posts like this to get a post count and also to test how active board moderation is. If nothing happens, in a day or two it’ll edit the response above to include something about crypto or an OnlyFans account and/or write new posts that do the same.
