  • OOTP X - Misc

    I'm not sure where to put this kind of stuff so I'm starting a thread. A few things have changed in X (at least to my recollection) and I wanted to post a couple of things I've found in hopes that others will do so as well. This has nothing to do with game play or strategy, just manuevering around in game.

    1. In version 9 when you hit the back arrow I seem to remember it taking you back to the last main screen you were on. For instance, if you browsed into a player profile from the team lineup screen and clicked on the batting stats tab, hitting the back arrow would take you back to the lineup screen. In X hitting the back arrow only takes you to the last page visited. Meaning for me, if I have visited the Ratings tab, batting stats tab and the history tab, I have to hit the back arrow several times to get back to the team lineup page. Today (by accident) I right clicked on one of the player profile pages and it took me straight to the last main screen, in my case the lineup screen. This also works in other areas. If you are in the BLB stats area and click on a player to check them out and browse through their tabs, a right click will take you back to the stats screen rather than having to cycle through all the tabs. Others may have been aware of this, I however was not.

    2. while on in game HTML type reports (like the BA Top Prospects report or even the News links) it used to drive me crazy when I would click on a hyperlinked name and it would open the HTML player page. I would always wish it would open the in-game player profile page. I found that if you right click on the hyperlinked name you get a menu and one of the choices is Open Player Profile. This feature may have been available in 9 as well, but I just recently discovered it in X.

    Just items I've come across that interest me that I wasn't aware of for whatever they're worth.

    I noticed both of those changes too, Z. But since I have solo games going in 2 different versions of OOTP (plus 3 online games in OOTP X), I can never remember what he hell the best shortcuts are. I just close my eyes and use the force.

      I did not know the first one. That will save me a lot of clicking back. Thank you.

        Is there a way to hide the current record for team in the upper right hand corner of the game?
