Two weeks

Re: Two weeks

Knight,

Would like to know if you can negotiate contracts for players during the season (would like to lock up certain players before the season is over).

Also, I truly hope that we can fire our manager (or other coaches) during the season and not have to wait until the end of the year. I remember in 08 we were able to do this. I may want to hire a new farm director BEFORE my first season starts to fit my philosophy.

One last thing, are managers going to have different styles (i.e. Mike Scioscia using small ball approach). Thanks knight for taking time to compile a list.

Want to echo all of this big time. To add, any chance for even a very basic/generic manager creator? Will players morale (even just based on the current morale factors) be more a factor in negotiations (like if you didn't slot him where he wanted he might jack up the price on you and vice versa)?

Also, has anything been done in regards to retirements? Can we get the ability to talk guys into or out of retirement (most important being talking them out of it)?

Thanks!


EDIT: Oh, also my annual request for Fenway's scoreboard fix (not franchise specific, but...) and my pipe dream for some type of create-a-team or expansion mode add-on.

Thanks again!

Re: Two weeks

Can you check during the playoffs if they added any playoff specific overlays and if the atmosphere intensifies during these games. Ok Thanks!

Hey Knight,

Can you check and make sure the Tomahawk Chop scoreboard lights up during the proper times - thanks!

i.e.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YKbxcltfzd4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YKbxcltfzd4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

also, please check if they've added any presentation elements that capture the full douchi-ness of Yankees fans. Thanks!

Re: Two weeks

Hey Knight
Appreciate all that you do for us Show fans. Do you think you could ask about the music situation in regards to starting pitchers having entrance music when they are warming up in the 1st inning. i have a lot of music i want to use in the game and yet i cant give starting pitchers music unless i play as a national league team for when they come up to bat and i'd really like to use an american league team. Its only a small complaint because overall the show is great. thanks knight

Re: Two weeks

As Soxfan mentioned, I'd also like to see some advancement in how FA decide to sign during the offseason.

The current system is good, but I'd like the factors in determining signings elaborated upon.

Re: Two weeks

Just too piggy back off Knight... Stats stats and more stats in franchise mode. Batter vs pitcher different situations. League leaders ,day and night, home vs away, series stats.. More stats better franchise in my opinion. Ooh yeah you da man knight!!!!

Re: Two weeks

Hey Knight, a couple things they need to put in:

1. Bat Boys? Did they put them in this year?
2. The boys or girls down the foul line that sit in a folding chair and collects foul balls.
3. Did they make the dugout better? Does the players walk into the dugout after each half inning?
4. Dose the fireworks at Turner Field come out of the Coke bottle? and did they update the coke bottle, they put it in last year, but it was the old one. It is a new generic bottle with a banner around it that does animations during rallies and homeruns, etc. When nothing is happening it just says coca cola.
5. The tomahawk sign needs to work during rallies, not homeruns. And in 10 after it would work once, it would not work again for the rest of the game, it got stuck in an animation.
6. The Braves backstop needs to be fixed.
7. and if they can, the braves need more retro jurseys, there so many of them that never make it on the show, for example the hank arron uni thats blue.

Thanks, these changes and updates would be awesome!!

Re: Two weeks

Oh, oh oh...!!!

Knight, please...

Would it be possible to have the confidence meter SAVE when loading up an in-game save file?

I couldn't tell you how irritating this is. It's hard to get all the way through games sometimes. The confidence meter reseting (once an in progress game is loaded)really deters me from using the in-game save feature.

Re: Two weeks

I know this glitch was not apparent to everyone, but during the important days in the season such as opening day, all-star game and home run derby, and the entire playoffs, giant blue blocks appear over the graphics on the field, really taking away from the presentation. Please clarify that this glitch has been fixed! Also, what's the possibility of a create-a-team mode? I know a create-a-stadium mode isn't going to happen, but how about create-a-team? Also inquire on the new accessories such as earrings and necklaces please. Thanks Knight!

Re: Two weeks

Not sure if this has been said but don't have time to run thru all post, sorry.
1- Relief pitchers appearing in to many games was a big issue for me.
2-Not sure if possible but lineups not sticking after spring training
The first 1 is the most important 1 in my opinion is the most important as it buggs the hell out of me,lol. Have fun Knight looking forward to hearing what it looks like when u get back.

Re: Two weeks

Can you see if rule 5 draft picks ever get sent back to their original team during the season? I could be wrong, but I think if the CPU picked a player, then they keep them all season no matter how bad their stats are.

Re: Two weeks

Knight - did they fix attendance issues in the playoffs/Series?

If not, you might want to check that out as well.

Thanks for setting this up.

Re: Two weeks

I may repeat but:

*Sign players during the season

*Fire/hire managers/coaches during the season

*the ability to see the managers of other teams during season(ie: Scioscia went to the Pirates and I had no idea until I played them) I'd settle for some type of introduction during the game.

*rotating interleague schedules. Yes they changed, but not nearly enough. Should change based on divisions. And to this, keep rivalries during interleague(Cubs/ChiSox - Cards/Royals - Astros/Rangers etc)

*stats

*rehab starts
