Score sheets

dunningrb · 04-30-2014, 11:48 AM

As I play out my games I often find myself missing the score sheets that Diamond Mind provided along with the box score and the game log. I posted an image below.

Can I make a request for this to be added to OOTP?

A simple score sheet provides a very good tool for analyzing a game in progress. When I played DMB, I enjoyed reading the score sheets for each day's games more than looking over the game logs. The way the scored plays are laid out provides a very natural way of following the flow of a game. That's probably why score sheets are the most basic way a game is scored--- if you score a live game by hand, you're creating or filling in a score sheet.

Anyway, I'd love to see score sheets added. I'd even be happy to work on coding this if I knew where to begin.

Would anyone else like to see score sheets?

wait...you mean you don't keep a manual score sheet as you watch games play out? I mean sometimes I look away or get distracted, but I just pause and look at the GAME LOG to see what I missed. am I doing this wrong?

No, I don't keep score by hand as I play out my games. It's true that the game log has the same information as a score sheet, but the format of the score sheet is often much more convenient to look at and read.

This isn't an either/or choice, of course. Box scores, game logs, and score sheets are the three standard ways of summarizing and recording a game that everyone is familiar with. I think it would be a very nice addition to have score sheets added to OOTP15 (16), to compliment the box scores and game logs.

Scorecards are cool and I always looked forward to seeing the different types versus what park you were at. I would be all for this addition. Of course, no need for an OOTP version of one to look so plain vanilla. Doing a quick search, I thought this one was quite nice:
