Jeremy, I fully realize this would be low priority on the to-do list… but do you think it might be possible in the future to add some type of “take back a play” function?
I had a solitaire tournament game a while back where a home team was losing by two runs in the ninth inning. They had a fast runner on second with two out. I actually had him playing safe, as his run was meaningless. Yet he was thrown out trying to steal third… to end the game.
I suppose one could argue that bonehead plays happen in real life. But it just seemed like a lousy way to end what had been a good game. To at least have the option to NOT have it end that way would have been good.
Love GO. Keep up the great work.

@sloef There is the Solitaire option in which you can control the pitching and lineups for each team, but you then have to make decisions without Malcolm’s assistance.

@hoffridge I also saw today that I pitching change I made didn’t appear to take, before I hit the pitch button. I went back into the lineup… I couldn’t put him in because he was listed as already being used… so I just closed the lineup… and boom… he appeared in the lineup as he should have been. I was then allowed to finish the game. Before I have replaced the awry pitcher with someone else and tried to finish… but that just messes it up more.

@apba-go-jeremy awesome! Thank you!

@marunyon I second this. Perhaps an ok sign off button on the computer mgr. Does the Windows Computer Versio n have something like this?

@jjgils said in Unable to insert pinch hitter in 2 games tonite:

u are saying in your reply. I need to make the changes when the bat icon is in the action bar. I am playing again tonite and it works if I try to make a change with the bat icon in the action bar. I was attempting to make the changes last nite when the batter was due up but before I had clicked to where the bat icon was in the action

I have made the same mistake many times. =) The first few I thought something was wrong, and then I figured it out. Even after figuring it out I sometimes still try to do it.

@buffalohead I would agree on that priority…though not being a software person I never know how hard it is to do certain things. If something is easy to do but low priority of course no reason not to include it in an update.

@hoffridge No worries, glad it worked out!

@tigerscott That one wasn’t us… not sure who ran it.

@randysteinman I imagine it’ll be an ‘it happens when it happens’ thing.

GO is designed to accept new content from the Alpharetta folks whenever they want to add it - we don’t require a heads up.

I am a fan of new content, so I also hope it’s sooner rather than later!

Thanks,
Jeremy

I had written to GO Support to ask about this as well. They responded this morning that issues with GTOP4/5 teams missing Z’s and W’s have all been fixed.
Great job, guys.

@anluc7

I will give that a try next time. In any event, you’ve just given me a good tip: hit the x? Didn’t know that would do anything.

Thanks

Dang! I was hoping the Smettzer would make the Twins. I want to have the Twins put a Smeltzer Water stand next to their Killebrew Root Beer Stand down the first base line at Target Field.

Hello Jeremy,

Just following up on this post to see if there are plans on the roadmap to include crowd noise or other basic sounds. At least for me, it adds to the sim.

Take care,

@adamdavidson2718 It would be awesome if it was fixed, but we did not work on this issue recently.

The nature of the problem is probably dependent on other factors and therefore it occurs randomly.

It makes solving problems like this very hard to do because they cannot be reliably reproduced.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@monk Manager rating is supposed to indicate experience with competitive play, either against a computer AI (fewer points) or human opponent (more points). No points are awarded for solitaire because they would be too easy to get (you always win).

@bogotabrave

Hypothetically one could cheat to win every time, rendering the point system meaningless.

So, manual dice games are excluded from the rating system.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I played the computer game for many years. The big things I miss in APBA GO are the platoon factor which makes for strategic match-ups in pitch hitting and relief pitchers and the fatigue factor.

yep and only available in solitiare mode

Hershiser shutout 2 outs in ninth…3 runs !
