Window Dressing/Or something cool

[Erich Ingram]

I was thinking about this today and thought it would be a cool thing to add to the player's history. I would like to see his Major League Debut listed with his stats for the game. Some may think this is just a window dressing thing, but personally I think it would be cool if there was a way to have this tracked.

I emailed Markus about it today but would love to hear the thoughts of others as to whether or not you think it would be a cool addition or just window dressing.

Thanks
Erich

Whoa. Good to see someone I recognize as a big part of OOTP when I first joined still coming around occasionally.

I for one, like the idea. I think that a whole page devoted to player landmarks would be cool. Something along the lines of balls/bats/gloves in a display case marking their first hit, homerun, gold glove, batting title, etc. Although this may be to ITP for OOTP.

Nonetheless, I think you have a great idea that would be fun to look at to see how OOTP people perform on their debut day.

Good ideas. If i may add to that.

i'd like to see something that shows his ratings at his peak, if not year to year. IRL we can remember how great Ozzie Smith or a Paul Molitor or a Steve Carlton was. But in this version of the game, the player continues deteriorate. So ten years after they retire their ratings are 1/1/1, instead being able to say wow this guys was great defensive shortstop or a great hitter or had great stuff.

I like this idea and would settle for the date alone, if necessary.

I very much like this idea. Maybe not his stats for the game, but something. For example, "made his major-league debut as a pinch runner on X/Y/ZZZZ," or "made his major-league debut as a defensive replacement..."

Well it is good to be remembered and recognized. I haven't been on the forums too much but I generally send my contact directly to Markus. I have spent a great deal of my time also with helping Arlie and Gary the bunch at GDS as well.

I will say I can't wait to see this game and will continue to pepper Markus with my ideas just as I have done in the past with the previous iterations. Expect to see me around the boards more often now as well.
