Hooray screenshot #2.

Markus has the sabermetric section been updated at all? Have any of the stats like Ron Shandler uses been added. I would like to see some of the player cards look like what is done in Graphical Player. I dont remember if you had the big three for pitchers in there: command, control and dominance. Thanks.

I'm diggin' the "wood skin" and the streaks page. Very nice.

texasmame · 05-15-2008, 12:21 PM

52-50 and 9 games out.

Marcus, what are you, the 2008 Yankees?!?

I would like to know this as well. To add further, if I just manage my team (not control GM settings), will my team scout and sign hidden players without my interaction? From what I understand this is not the case in 2007/8.

KWhit · 05-15-2008, 12:27 PM

Is there a historical streaks page so you can see what team has the longest winning streak of all time, that sort of thing?

Giants44 · 05-15-2008, 12:41 PM

hoping the steroid thing can be toggled on/off - Steroids has really ruined a small part of real baseball for me and while I can understand where some people want the game to emulate the real game as much as possible, this is part I would rather not see.

having said that I think an interesting idea perhaps for v10 is the OPTION to put a player on steroids. If he goes on he has a chance to get much better and a chance to get caught. I would still probably turn it all off but with the option it adds some strategy to the whole concept.

Thanks for the pics!

Very nice and thanks for the update!!

ehencley · 05-15-2008, 12:57 PM

Looks great thanks!

I'm hoping that drug use is tied to a player personality trait and that some players are more prone to it than others.

It would be really cool if a player was on 'roids all of a sudden he gets a ratings boost.

Discipline: 3 (1-10)
(Hidden) Performance inhancing drug use: Y (y/n)

Then have random drug tests. If a player is using and also gets popped for the test BAM suspension.

Either way it's a cool addition thanks for all the hard work!

ajsas01 · 05-15-2008, 01:01 PM

Since no one else seemed to notice...

That option for disabling all bugs and crashes should end a lot of whining around here

cfeedback · 05-15-2008, 01:01 PM

I think the asterisk for the streaks would look better if it either followed the players name or preceded the number so the columns would line up better. Example:

Code:

*22
 21
 19
 18

instead of:

22*
 21
 19
 18

I agree. Markus said it was just "bad luck." I hope he is correct.

ashantewarrier · 05-15-2008, 01:37 PM

Good stuff Markus! These features will definitely add to the immersion factor.

My first thought also was "I hope it's optional". I'd just as soon not have it in my game.

I know you said OPTIONAL so I wouldn't have to use it but I don't like this idea. It's one thing to me if the players do it on their own and get caught but
you are the GM\Manager and you're pressuring your player to use steroids and supplying them also? If this is in and your player is caught should your GM character also be fired from the organization? Should you be suspended from the league too?

Too me it makes OOTP look bad, I mean how do you describe this is new feature list for v10+?

Quote:

Young prospect not developing as you expected? Why not get him some 'roids? He may just turn into the next home-run king! Of course be careful you just may get caught and the consequences are severe!

Maybe I'll be in the minority with this point of view, who knows in todays world. It is my 2 cents though and I thought I'd throw it out there.

Is there a hidden rating that determines how likely a player will use illegal drugs? I was just thinking if it's a random, but equal chance for every player, the likelihood a player will be caught multiple times is quite low. Another way to put is, if a player is caught using drugs does that indicate he is a higher risk to use again than compared to the average player?
