Release 3.0.0
-
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to address a couple of things.
The first is that we’re getting a lot of feedback which is turning out to be people having opinions on how the Master Game plays written in the rule book are incorrect and need to be changed. We don’t re-write the MG rules or plays and never will. That is the domain of the Alpharetta team. We just implement the rules as-is.
We do, however, investigate each report and that takes time away from working on actual bugs with our implementation. So, please, if you have opinions on the MG boards, save them for discussions over beer at the convention.
The second is that we always have a better chance at fixing a problem if it’s reported through the support form on the site, including attaching the game IDs for the games in question so we can look at the play by play, see the dice rolls and all the rules in play in case we need to recreate the game.
Don’t rely on me to report stuff to my team; I spend a lot of time during the day trying to find my glasses let alone remembering all the issues brought up during the day. The paper trail is better every time.
Thanks for your continued help and input. This week has been a whirlwind of activity as we implement fixes for the issues you find. I think John is mentioning the MG addition to GO in a newsletter today, so there will be more people around trying it out.
We will continue improving the experience over time.
Thanks,

great to hear you guys are working on bugs! There was definitely one chart rating I had today that did not work last time that worked today! I’ll keep reporting them so you can keep fixing them :)

Jeremy,
I have had two major glitches in four games played vs an opponent in a league. How do i get you the exact details.
This is what happened however.
Yesterday my opponent had a runner on second and no one out. This happened and instead of runner on third and one out it had runner on third and no outs.

It’s a 6 on Johnny TEMPLE’s card.

@ddruk Hi Dave,
Thanks so much.
Here’s where you can report directly to the team:
https://baseball.apbago.com/support
And on the form is the Game ID section, where you can attach your report to a specific game:
Thanks,

This is not the same level as eliminating bugs, but I would love to see the text that reports on the result of plays to be on the same level as the basic game in terms of detail and variety like “grass killer” and “Earl Weaver would be proud” to name a couple.

Any chance there will be a trial period to play the Master Game (MG) in a similar fashion we play the Basic Game? On other forums, chat is some current fans are a bit hesitant to dole out $30 for a new item.

Hi Everyone,
Today we deployed some more fixes:
- We reverted the UI change that affected some Android devices and modified some UI elements to avert some issues with screen sizes.
- We corrected a number of plays for results and phrasing.
- More improvements to unearned run tracking in various scenarios
We are working on an issue where sometimes games aren’t recorded to Game History and Shared Collections, continuing to improve play result text, and working on game configuration saving issues.
Thanks for the continuing influx of support tickets… we look at, and address, all of them.

looks like Caught Stealing is now being tracked… progress! Really happy to see things moving along in the right direction!
