Spelling, Grammar, and other Text Issues

Please post any spelling, grammar, and other text-related issues (strange characters, broken links, and so on) here. If the issue involves a news story, include the reference number displayed in its title (e.g. [35-252]) so RBLwebguy, who's in charge of those, can find it easily.

Not exactly a "bug" but just an opinion on the wording of something..

I'm aware that it's still early enough in the process, but I'm really not a fan of the current trading report emails.

This, just honestly doesn't sound very good:

Quote:
"The rumor has been out there for awhile and today it was made official. The Montreal Canadiens have sent 36-year-old Right Defense Francis Bouillon, the 2013 NHL Entry Draft round 5 (Montreal) pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for 25-year-old Left Defense Matt Niskanen."
I think something like this would sound so much better:
Quote:
"Today, The Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins made official a deal that had been rumored for a few weeks now. Going to the Pittsburgh Penguins from the Montreal Canadiens is defenseman Francis Bouillon and a 5th round pick (Montreal) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Heading the other way, is defenseman Matt Niskanen.

_____________________________________
_____________________________________(GM Quotes)

To Pittsburgh:

Francis Bouillon
2013 5th round pick

To Montreal:

Matt Niskanen"
The more depth to the emails, the better.

Having not seen the Beta just yet I can agree with Habsfan there. The original does seem a bit clunky. For your solution, Habsfan, I'd drop the following:

"that had been rumored for a few weeks now." and

"from the Montreal Canadiens"

Otherwise it seems to be a pretty good improvement. What I like when reading transfer stories is the inclusion of the players age and their current key stats (8gp, 4 goals, +1 etc etc) so maybe there is place for that too.

I second that... it is always nice when one would tune into ESPN (or your sports source) and see a breakdown of a trade that went down.

2 - on the available staff screen, when you click to view staff profile, beneath their name it says their age, and job but its in white text on a white background

Scouting screen for a player - STRENGHT should be STRENGTH.

I feel like you guys are going to get a LOT of these...

One thing I did notice is when you go to the "manager news" screen, right before the message there is a group of numbers in brackets i.e. [212-442]. Is this a new feature of some sort? I do not remember seeing them in OOTP 13 when I played it...

The debug code is likely on for easy access to fixing bugs.

Another minor grammatical error:

[123-332] ...best goalie *in* the team

Should be *on*

Sort of a text error:

Player Profile showing LAST 4 years actually lists the FIRST 4 years of his career.

I received the same error when signing a player from the OHL to the ECHL

When browsing the Available staff, you see guys that have "standart" for "standard" I would assume. Also, in the player card, the STRENGTH is spelled wrong. It's spelled STRENGHT

Penalty in the second period of in a game showing a time of 0:00. Is that technically possible? Might not be an actual issue, but just found it odd.

Am I the only one bothered by the over abundance of exclamation points? I would think that punctuation shouldn't be used in headlines and in play by play in game.

[26-209] The rumor has been out there for a while now and today it was made official. The Carolina Hurricanes have sent 22-year-old Left Wing A.J. Jenks, the 2013 NHL Entry Draft round 4 (Carolina) pick to the Winnipeg Jets for 24-year-old Center Bryan Little.
I don't know about you guys, but the wording seems a bit off to me. I feel that something like "The Carolina Hurricanes have sent [player] and [pick owner]'s [round number] pick in the [year] NHL Entry Draft to the Winnipeg Jets for [player]" flows a bit better and sounds a bit more like what a real press release would sound like.

When doing a trade, in the trade info screen:

"Tampa Bays current total payroll is $64,849,024 and as rumor has it a budget of $70,730,000."

Bays should be Bay's.

Also the sentence sounds weird in my opinion and I think "as" is part of the problem.

For what it's worth, I'd recommend: Tampa Bay's current total payroll is $64,849,024 and they are rumored to have a budget of $70,730,000.
