Baseball 2018: Interface Improvements

5/26/2018

I'm better at adding features and fixing bugs than I am at describing new features. So I'm rather late in describing the "Interface Improvements" in Baseball Mogul 2018.​ Most of this work was cosmetic. ​For example, some buttons and clickable text in Baseball Mogul 2017 had problems with "artifacting" (shown at right)...

I also fixed bad color combinations, and excessive "glowing" text, and fixed screen coordinates so that highlighted areas matched the corresponding text or button.

However, there were also some improvements in functionality. For example, "Expiring Contracts" is now a clickable button that populates the Sortable Stats Dialog with a complete list of players in the last year of their contract -- with a new "Eligibility" column showing each player's contract status at the end of the current season:

Clay, Wonderful to see constant updates in making the game better. I've owned your game since the beginning. It's always been the most user friendly of all of them. As far as bugs not being fixed before release, what game does 'not' have updates these days. At least it shows you are always working on it for us.

Attention everyone, I have an important announcement. There will never be a “perfect” baseball simulation game, because a simulation is simply a model of reality, and the only perfect model of reality is...ummm, reality. The main question is does the game strive to be realistic and accurate, and the answer is yes.

But the even more important question is, is it fun? The answer again is yes! Clay Dreslough and his company have provided me personally with thousands of hours (and possibly an unhealthy amount) of fun and enjoyment since 1998.

For those that post their “disappointments” year after year, I say- why still bother? Why not find what makes you happy and move on. (Unless posting negativity is what makes you happy, in which case you should maybe log on to Twitter)

Clay, thank you for your labor of love that you have continued to try to perfect all these years. You probably don’t hear it enough, but it means a lot to a lot of people.

Love the game. I am constantly having issues while trying to make trades, as the computer locks up for periods of time when the computer tries to accept or deny a trade. It freezes when it says it cannot find an acceptable trade

I have experienced the same. I have found that it happens most when you leave your own side of the deal blank, basically asking the AI what would it take to get “player x”. I hope they fix that bug, for the time being I avoid making open ended offers, but it still tends to happen when the AI can’t build anything it would accept.
