Spelling/Grammar Issues

Jared · 06-01-2006, 07:23 PM

I didn't see a thread for this (admittedly) I didn't look all that hard. If there is one, I apologize. If not, I'd like to start one for all those little spelling/grammar issues that dorks like me spot in the game.

Here's one: "and the ump calls it a foul balls as it left fair territory."

Should be ball, not balls.

Jared, do I remember incorrectly, or is the pbp file editable?

If so, that might be something to peruse. Not saying that Markus & Co. shouldn't be watching for this sort of thing to begin with, but if it's user-fixable, it might almost be worth going through the file and making the corrections, then posting it for the community at-large to use.

It would certainly give the development team the ability to chase down the larger issues (like the trade AI).

Just a thought.

Does anybody else know if this is true? Now that Sack mentions it, I do also vaguely recall something about editing play-by-play, but I definitely don't know how to begin on doing that. Has anyone tried doing this yet?

We're watching.

Patch 1 will contain pbp fixes in and we'll also release the XML regularly on the site.

english.xml is what you need to edit (a 3rd party editor is rumoured to be in the works as well)
