Hey folks!
While we are working hard to get Perfect Team into beta, we have put the finishing touches on the last scheduled pre-PT update for OOTP 19, version 19.8.64. It adds a lot of tweaks & fixes and also vastly improves the shop player feature!
Please do note that this version (19.8.XX) is not compatible with the previous releases (19.7.XX or earlier) in online leagues, so all members of an online league need to be on the same major version in order to continue without issues.
Here is the changelist compared to version 19.7:
- New shop player options: can shop multiple players at once, retain salary, set basic search criteria. limit 5 shops daily, 10 during winter meetings/before trade deadline
- New expert option: Use Optimized Image Resize (better graphics, but likely slower for image scaling)
- Added new right-click options for inserting players to lineups
- Added year selector to league leaders page
- Fixed association playoff setup crash
- Fixed issues with draft pick trading and imported draft orders/new 2018 game
- Fixed issue with some advanced fielding stats showing 0 on player lists
- Fixed issue with getting a "willing to resume negotiations" message while the player still refuses to talk
- Will no longer automatically skip top starters at the end of the season if clinched. AI-controlled teams will set strategy to bench top-2 starters on team during final weekend
- Adjusted AI valuation of players on trade block
- Fixed January transaction logs not showing up in reports
- Fixed crashes involving historical exhibition
- Fixed several cosmetic issues and other bugs
Enjoy the game. We'll keep you posted on the progress of Perfect Team, currently we're looking at an early October date for the public beta!
Cheers,
Markus & the entire OOTP Team
