So what MIGHT OOTPBB22 have to offer ? - Page 14

prorta · 02-09-2021, 12:21 AM

I would like to see a change in the Trade options. When you highlight a player > Trade Options > Shop Player > I would like to have the option to see a "sorting" of POS; Age; Overall, etc...instead of scrolling down looking at trying to remember what player was offered at the top.

Also, it would be cool to show "what else" the other team is willing to offer for the player you are shopping. For example, player Joe Little & draft pick # 8.

I would LOVE to see "Rebuilding" teams NOT trading for multi-year veterans at the deadline/in the offseason.

I would love a "green light" option for steals. As opposed to hitting "steal" and praying your guy actually goes since you are having your batter take a pitch and "force steal" where i feel the success rate drops, have a "green light" option. basically the runner determines if he goes or not like the "steal button" but my batter doesn't take the pitch. very helpful for batters with two strikes,

Also, I would love for the option of hiring other team's minor league mangers and staff. Like, if I need a manager at the major league team, i could hire a teams minor league manager

I would love to see finally a revamp with the financials, they have stayed pretty stagnant for many releases. The ability to invest in other things, maybe stadium improvements, and other ways to spend profits.

I'm hoping for expansion of the ballpark creation tool. That was a big leap forward fpr OOTP and one of my favorite new features

Would definitely love to be able to create anything that might hint that my team actually plays there. How about let me put my team logo on a billboard or as part of the scoreboard. Right now you just can't build anything personalized to your team and so it's not very appealing compared to the stuff you can download on the forums.

andyhdz · 02-09-2021, 08:18 PM

You can easily do that with the custom stadiums that users have built. I add in my own stadium colors and the scoreboard is customized for my teams. But you are right the stadiums that come with the game are pretty locked down other than changing the ads I think.

I'd like for my team not to play 29 straight days.
Something should be incorporated into the schedule to avoid this.

To take that a step further, for YEARS I've been wishing that they would expand the coaching staff to at least include first and third base coaches. Do away with the "Send Runner" feature when rounding third, and put it in the hands of a coach who could have an effect on that and potentially steal decisions as well.

Ab-So-Lutely. This is a MUCH needed aspect, as are individual player meetings, and the ability to make requests of a GM when you are in Manager Only mode.

There is so much that could be done outside of the 3D engine at this point to get this game off the plateau the sports management aspect of the game has hit since 17 or so.

Please get rid of the annoying bottom of the 7th text in the pbp.

Art Deco · 02-10-2021, 01:22 PM

Speaking of PxP text, it takes forever ("forever" being 3-4 extra seconds) to describe a player hitting a double when the animation shows it as obvious. "It's in the corner, it hits the wall, the throw back to the infield, the tag, he's safe". It would just be easier and quicker to say "it's a double into the gap and the player pulls into/slides into second"

Bobfather · 02-10-2021, 01:27 PM

In the offseason center, there is a team transaction breakdown by WAR. That should stay up all season long. Some of the most important transactions happen in season.

timmermac · 02-10-2021, 01:53 PM

Make the trading deadline a bigger deal. Maybe integrate some MLB Network in. Ken Rosenthal, JP Morosi, et al.

I also think there's too much of 'he makes the turn first. No, he decides to hold up there.' This happens with almost every other base hit.

Oh yeah, the PbP makes it sound like 90% of doubles are close when in reality its far more common for a player to pull into second standing than have a close play.

Bobfather · 02-10-2021, 02:47 PM

I would like to see the Mods pin this thread. So there aren't hundreds of the same threads about OOTP22.

As far as the animation goes, there are no close plays. Whenever a runner is thrown out on the bases, it's obvious with the ball usually arriving well ahead of the runner, and that's usually telegraphed by how hard the throw is made.

Under "other pitching ratings," there's a line for "arm slot." It says "Over the Top," "Normal (3/4)," or "Sidearm."
