Last Chance to Pre-Order & The Road to Release #3 - Feature Cornucopia

[Lafayette53]

Find a player looks absolutely fantastic. I also really love the hall of fame plaques.

Going to have to take Friday off now..

That's very disappointing. It can't be that much effort to have a toggle on days with two games.

Of course I'll enjoy the game, but there's a crap load of fluff for "immersion" yet this actually affects game play and continues to be ignored although it's brought up year after year.

Wow, bring it down a notch there buddy. LOL

That was down a notch. You want the full opinion.

I think it's ridiculous that we have hall of fame plaques, all star voting, season end voting, baseball cards, background pictures, ball flight, 3D stadiums, yet I can't set my line-up for all games this week. That is just absurd. It would be so easy on a DH day to have links for Game 1 and Game 2. Select 1 set line-up and pitcher, select game 2 set line-up and pitcher.

For YEARS now people have been asking for this. It's important for historical games where DHs were common. It becomes MORE important for current leagues now that rain outs have been added.

It's a royal pain in the ass when playing in online leagues where you need to submit your team for a week and this screws with your rotation.

Year after year we ask. And we get nice things that look good but are NOT essential for playing the game.

So yes, absurd.

So psyched for Friday! Of course I have school, but who cares

[Metsvir2]

How will HOF be affected by longtime OOTP converted saves? I've been playing my franchise since OOTPX buying and converting every year

[Hockey13Playa]

One thing I just remembered... "death". I recall Markus saying it was going to be a checkable option for those who wanted to use it. I haven't read over every single bit of info so any updates on this? Will we have the option to have players die off?

[ludosc]

Why is it not Friday yet?

[Junior19]

I'm sorry if I missed this but for the HOF voting, if you do the manual option does that act like an ultimate override or is it just counted along with the rest of the votes? Like it looks to with the All Star voting?

Exactly.

Are you starving to death with Ebola?

He has a point in there. We do need much more lineup control, as he mentioned. We also need the ability to save and load different lineups as needed. These things have been requested for several versions now but no changes have been made.

It doesn't seem like it should be too hard to do, either. Though I'm no programmer.

To tward: I would still tone it down a notch, though, and just keep requesting it be fixed. Honestly - this is the first time I've heard that there's a problem with 7-day lineups and doubleheaders. I don't use 7-day lineups, nor do I manually schedule doubleheaders, and though it may have been brought up on the forums before, I must have missed it. What that tells me is that everyone calling for the feature to be fixed needs to be a little more vocal about it. Don't get your knickers in a twist, just keep campaigning and you'll get there at some point; many of the features being included in OOTP16 have been requested for years as well.

I have been politely requesting the ability to save and load multiple lineups for many versions now. It's a needed feature but it's become clear that it's one that OOTP just does not want to implement.

[hfield007]

There wouldn't be a 17 if we ran out of stuff the game needed haha. So buy 16 so Markus has money to get these things in the game.

Actually it's the first time I've heard about this, so it doesn't seem to be as important as you think

I have taken note though and will look at this for an update.

Send me a reminder in the middle of April and I'll add it in a update. Again, this is easy to do, but I was not aware this is suggested or I simply forgot. I'm getting old, you know

You can have it 100% computer voting, 100% human voting, or a combination of both.

Same with the All-Star voting, with the sole exception that in online leagues, All-Star voting is either 100% AI or 100% human, you can't have it do a combination of both (of course, you can still manually select All-Stars even if you do have it use AI voting).

Obviously we don't have history before you convert

But going forward, if you have it set up to wait 5 years and having guys stay for up to 10 years on the ballot, year 1 you'll have a lot of guys on the ballot for the first time, and some guys will fall off the ballot before their 10 year marks, but everyone from those 15 years will get at least one chance to get voted in.

The Game looks amazing...Thanks to the hole OOTP Team...Can´t wait until tomorrow....

Nochmal ein Lob in der Heimatsprache

Ich finde das ist mit Abstand das beste Sportmanager Game auf dem Markt (Und dann auch noch mit Baseball) und es wird echt von Jahr zu Jahr besser, ein würdiger Nachfolger für Anstoss

Macht so weiter Jungs und ich hoffe das der FHM2 auch in die Richtung geht....

P.S.: Finds übrigens gut das erst so en paar deutsche kommen müssen um so ein geiles Spiel über DEN Amerikanischen Sport zu machen...
