Suspense plays make the game interesting, for me anyway. Another example, right now every ball hit down a line that gets past an infielder is a hit -- never seen one "foul by inches." You don't want to do this too much as it would drag out games, but I'd like to see it more. Maybe with a selectable frequency option.
Just to be even more clear, I am not at all being critical of this small and responsive dev team, and I'm glad I started playing after they put in the 3D play, whatever it is.
While we're in the neighborhood, I seem to have an issue where the screen goes black every time I go to my lineup page and then return to the play screen. Bringing up the bullpen selector and closing it fixes the screen. Anyone have any ideas?  |
Oh, foul balls in the stands, got ya
I only play one pitch and in that foul balls are listed in the pitch sequence widget. So you can have a 10+ pitch AB with 5 foul balls but never see them. I wonder how does pitch by pitch handle them? They must go to the seats, don't they? Hopefully a P by P player can comment.
Having said that many versions ago foul balls were in the one pitch mode game and you'd have to keep hitting the swing away button until a K, BB, or fair ball. Some people complained because it added clicks to the game. Myself, I liked them as they added drama to an AB. Markus ended up taking them out and just having them as part of the overall AB.
Black screen? I play in full screen and the only time I get that, and it's not every time, is if I hit the windows screen, go to desktop or other app, and them return to OOTP. However for me the screen comes back with all widgets in place an then the black stadium for about a second and then it corrects itself.
If I had your issue I'd check that my graphic drivers were up to date. After that I would be lost and hoping someone else could steer me in the right direction.
I didn't think you were being overly critical of OOTP or the team and my "assure anyone new to the game" wasn't pointed at you even though it followed a quote of your post. It was more to confirm your thought that the team would keep moving forward on 3d for any and all new users that might be reading through this thread.
