Post your OOTP 13 impressions here! - Page 9

Setting up a Random Debut league right now, I noticed you still have to manually enter city name for many teams. Miami, FL instead of Miami, NY for Marlins, Phoenix for D-Backs etc.

Minnesota & Colorado seemed to be the only 2 that were ok for 2011

Was the PBP improved? Seeing/Reading many new things!

Amen to that.

I was mainly talking about 2k.. That game seems to be messed up every year.. I agree, the Show is a GREAT game.. I just prefer OOTP right now because it's about 20 dollars cheaper and I play it more than video games.

Decided to try it out last night with this game.

Wow! I'm not going back to the little window again.

I know, right!

Great work, thanks to everybody that made it possible!

Less text, more shiny graphics. Noted

YES!!!

snepp · 04-12-2012, 07:28 AM

Another subtle but very welcome change.

Finally when you have AI MGR setup your team, in this case my minor league lineups, it sets backups for DH. Always a minor annoyance to figure out who I wanted to be the backup DH. Love the dark skin, very easy to read. Still trying to get use to the changes in screens.

40 fully-managed games in and while I think there's still a bit too many WPs, especially with guys on third, I'm quite impressed with this version and having a lot of fun. Even down to the fonts, it's all just so crisp and well-designed, and I don't just mean the UI, I mean overall. I think it's a testament to the how thorough the game is that people complain about the minutiae of things like the CBA and how stuff like that is carried out. Kudos.

All outfielders
All infielders
All relievers

All new to me.

Syd Thrift · 04-12-2012, 10:18 AM

Hey, good point. I had to make custom filters for that last year, so yeah, it is new.

No, they were just added within the last 2 weeks of development.

IMO not only yes but heck yes.

Awesome game. Loving the interface.

I would suggest: more text, more shiny graphics.

Ambermonk · 04-12-2012, 09:43 PM

I use the Classic skin, but I think that the drop-down menu buttons could use a little more work.

Right now each button is separated by a simple vertical line. It would be nice if each button had a slight 3-D shading effect - slightly beveled with rounded corners, etc.
