The OOTP 16 Feedback Thread - Page 4

Is anyone else having trouble getting the download to complete properly? It seems to get to a certain point and then stop.

ButchertheBaker · 03-20-2015, 12:24 PM

Fantastic work on the game, well worth the purchase and I can't wait to play more.

My feedback (warning this is real nit-picky): I noticed that when you are an MLB team screen, the page background is the primary color of the team (Orioles = orange, Royals = blue, etc...) but when you go to any of the minor league teams it's a generic gray color. Is this a by-product of the new skin or am I missing an option in the settings?

I have to say, two games in played out, the team has really topped themselves this year aside from the fact that the winning pob % is not working right.

Try a download manager.

I use the Google Chrome download and it worked fine for me. I clicked the e-mail the minute it landed too. It had a little hang up at about 80%

I will if I can't get it to work this time, I'm using the other mirror this time, so maybe that will make a difference.

Very cool...Just got a message from a player that he refuses to sign an extension with my team because of personality clashes with my manager!

One major gripe and one small gripe. The major gripe is I went to extend him because I got an email from him saying he wanted an extension. Maybe instead I could get emails or news stories saying theres rumors he won't re-sign unless the manager is fired.

The small gripe is the description of the player is a good teammate who enjoys a beer or two with friends and my manager has an easygoing personality so you think they would mesh together, but maybe they argue over who has to buy the beer after the game lol

Anyhow overall I love the new feature. I don't think I ever had a player refuse to sign an extension before because of the manager.

I haven't got mine yet (not a complaint... it is probably waiting for me at home) but after seeing that the massive download is because of the 3-D stadiums, is there any chance those of us who don't want the 3-D can download without it? (I probably won't wait once I get home, so maybe for future versions.)

I prefer photos and don't use ball flight.

Lafayette53 · 03-20-2015, 01:12 PM

Only have a few minutes to mess around, though I will play more later, but has there been significant optimization? All the buttons etc. seem much more responsive to me.

If so, well done.

Yup, got about half done and stopped. Tried it twice. Trying the DL Manager now.

Roy Tucker · 03-20-2015, 01:26 PM

Just got a midseason chemistry update from the bench coach. Very cool.

I have never heard about this before, there is something fishy going on with your system that blocks the usage of the CTRL key in OOTP I suppose. Also, since you only have to enter it once, I don't see the problem to be honest. You will lose far more time actually playing the game than typing in a serial number.

You said the same thing LAST year!

But, you're right...I was just cranky this morn...shudda had my caffeine first, but was too excited? So, ultimately the blame DOES get placed on you guys.

Roy Tucker · 03-20-2015, 01:36 PM

And just got a midseason evaluation from the owner. Really good stuff.

Rain King · 03-20-2015, 01:52 PM

I've also always had the ctl-v issue, but right click and paste still always works.

It worked okay in the end without a DL manager.

edgolo · 03-20-2015, 02:10 PM

So far so good, love the improvements...just one small problem for me (and it's only because I'm nearing 50 and have to wear glasses) is that during the game, the font size for some of the graphics is a little smaller than in years past. But overall, am very satisfied with what I've seen so far!

You can make the font size bigger.

When you pre-ordered you should have selected the 'OOTP16 and Laser Eye Surgery' combo.

Both very good points.

As a guy in beta who is somewhat churlish about what might be considered fluff or soft stuff I absolutely loved the All Star voting progression. I found myself clicking on various players to see if I agreed where they were on the list.

Visually I also love the icons on player pages. In a league with 85 years of history one of my all time great players has the badges to show it! See below.

From a nuts and bolts perspective I find AI lineup construction much improved when platooning. There is less position rotation.

In game subs and PH when simming seems better. The PH stays in the game and players are rotated to logical (next best?) defensive positions.

There is so much more.
