In your manager options, there's a checkbox for injury notifications.

So far ive only had time to create a test league and its creating player photos right now....but the interface looks great. Very smooth. Im getting excited

The only thing I have to say is that photo creation takes awhile but that is expected. I just need more patience.

KCRoyalsFan · 03-22-2007, 10:40 AM

Thanks! I was looking for it under the league setup for some reason.

darkcloud4579 · 03-22-2007, 10:40 AM

So far, I'm really impressed. The previews pretty much assuaged my fears that we'd have showstopping bugs, which really is the biggest issue when you can't even play the game at all.

But this has been super so far. FaceGen looks great and is a huge addition for immersion, especially when you only play single-player pretty much like I do.

I'm just scratching the surface, but kudos to the team for putting this together. I know we'll find more to complain about later, but..this is a great, great step forward.

I had the preview so I have seen quite a few things already. One thing that wasn't active in my preview build was the f1 help system. Just tried it out and it is a great thing, much like FM's.

Great work Steve and Markus on this one.

That's just lazy reading on your part, nobody to blame but yourself.

I'm sorry I don't have time to troll a messageboard 24 hours a day like some of you do. I was going to try and update drivers,but of course,ATI's drivers are down.

Of course I'm going to rip into the game,the part I've seen,the face gen,wasn't working and I instantly went off to try and fix it only to be told it won't work on all video cards. I didn't play any other part of the game,so my initial reaction to the game is not a good one.

is down? Seems to be working fine for me.

EDIT: It does seem to be down atm once you try to download it. Check your laptop's manufacturer's website.

The problem is your outdated driver, not the game

So no need to blame it... relax, install new drivers when you can download them, and then enjoy the game.

Hotwheelz · 03-22-2007, 10:49 AM

Ive never come across a game that didnt have issues with some sort of hardware. No PC game is going to run on EVERY hardware configuration out there. Its just not possible.

All I have is the Catalyst driver for Windows Vista. If thats the version you need I could try getting it up on my site....

phenom · 03-22-2007, 10:55 AM

So OOTP 2007 kills ATI cards, eh?

ctorg · 03-22-2007, 10:56 AM

I love the speed, look, and functionality so far. It is much easier to use and more intuitive than v2006. I look forward to running many leagues in v2007.

However, I've already come across two bugs, one of them a carryover from last year. I'm hoping I don't find any more.

Clearly you don't have time to use the search function either.

So you thought you'd come here and complain about a problem on your end instead?

But it will work on your video card (look a few posts up). Update your drivers and then if it still doesn't work, come back and complain properly.

I don't think I've read any of your other 300 posts so my initial reaction to your posting style is not a good one.

You should probably see a doctor about that.
