I proposed a 1-page design to Markus that would greatly simplify the strategy setting process ... probably 8-10 years ago. So, yes, it will be interesting to see how he does this.Leones wrote:I'm excited about the recoded team strategy system.

Re: OOTP 16
We change OOTP's every 2 seasons. Is this correct?
Im wondering how these changes will mesh with the players and coaches we already have once we do change over. Especially with the managers and coaches. If we have them signed 2 and 3 years out with no personalities and then pow....they get some. And a good deal of em might not be what you wanted. Could this create mass hysteria house cleaning?

Let's hope that's a toggle feature...

Re: OOTP 16
Two new features that caught my eye:
• We have redesigned large chunks of the team finance system, including new season ticket sales
• Rainouts with automatic rescheduling, adding the realism that comes with rain-shortened and cancelled games. Is your bullpen strong enough to handle those late-season double-headers?
Progressing toward ever more realism. Pretty cool.

Re: OOTP 16
I wonder how the double headers will work with those that use the 7-day scheduling? I assume if you had a rainout you wouldn't have a make-up that week, if you did your pitching assignments would be all over the place. I bet OOTP would end up pitching your ace on two days rest and end up screwing your season when he blows his elbow out

That's what I'd assume also.

Re: OOTP 16
I don't think I could even tell you a baseball salary in £ rather than $. Also it doesn't really make any sense as most of the sports contracts that appear in £'s are per week, rather than annually. That said I'll no doubt try it once to see what it's like.Leones wrote:I'd like to see how this works:
"Alternate currencies (Euro, Pounds Sterling, Yen, etc.)"
Seems like an interesting feature especially for a global league such as ours. Sure to make some heads spin tough.
I'm excited about the recoded team strategy system. This is a feature I've always wanted to use more in OOTP15 and hopefully it will lend itself to more use in OOTP16.

Re: OOTP 16
I would be for leaving it on. This is a feature I have wanted for a long time. Much more realistic to have rainouts and scheduling issues. What do you do when you reach the dog days of August and have 7 games in 5 days because of double-headers? How do you work the rotation? Do you spot start a reliever, or call up that prospect from AAA for a cup of coffee? Who has the deeper bench? This makes the game so much more challenging.Borealis wrote:I'd assume this is an on-off feature that would make sense bring off if on-line leagues - for just that reason....Underground wrote:I wonder how the double headers will work with those that use the 7-day scheduling?

Speaking as the manager of a team that plays in a city with a monsoon season and the occasional typhoon, I would not be in favor of this. Naha's average monthly rainfall in May, June, and August is 10 inches, with 7 inches in July and September. Our schedule would be a wreck.Ocelots wrote:I would be for leaving it on.

Re: OOTP 16
Why not play half your home games in Yuma? Your ballplayers might enjoy the annual average rainfall of 3 inches and a wettest baseball month (August) when a half an inch (.49) typically falls. No rainouts in 10 years!Shisa wrote: Speaking as the manager of a team that plays in a city with a monsoon season and the occasional typhoon, I would not be in favor of this.
