Thank you for playing 47 Prefectures Baseball GM.
Version 1.0.4 is now live. It focuses on the fixes we promised in the forums after v1.0.3, plus a review of the regional dialects.
Reports and requests from the forums
- You can now accept a trade partner's counter-offer as is. Press "Agree on the counter-offer" to re-propose the trade on those terms.
- During the playoffs, you can now open the bracket from the GM Desk.
- Mascot lines now use each prefecture's own dialect. Previously all six Tohoku prefectures shared one dialect; Miyagi now speaks Sendai dialect. We also split the groups in Hokuriku, Koshin, Tokai, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu, and fixed incorrect phrasing. Miyagi's cheer calls now use Sendai dialect too.
- Fixed the "★ Planned picks only" count on the scouting screen growing every year. Stars now stay only on this year's candidates. This also fixes the "Your draft plan is empty" notice not appearing when old stars were left over.
- Following a report that the "Stats" tab on the player details screen sometimes could not be pressed, the tab row can no longer be hidden behind other elements, shifted out of view, or cut off at the edge of the panel.
Playoffs
- The "RP" and "Today" marks and fielding positions on the playoff lineup screen now match who actually plays (starter moving up when someone is injured, innings limits, two-way players).
- Replacing or keeping the manager and other staff now opens after the Japan Series.
- During the playoffs and after elimination, the GM Desk and calendar no longer present the league's next game as your own, and no longer suggest signings while the market is closed.
Fielding skills
- Fielding skill descriptions and their in-game effects now match.
- A catcher with "Erratic Throws" allows more stolen bases; an outfielder with it allows runners to take extra bases more often.
- "Wide Range" makes great plays more likely.
- The "Utility" card only appears when the player is playing out of position.
Contracts and offseason
- Fixed old saves sometimes allowing more than two domestic FA signings in one offseason.
- Fixed players on long-term deals signed in v1.0.1 or earlier being counted as up for renewal on the contract screen.
- The roster trimming list now shows players who are abroad or injured.
- Fixed automatic call-ups sometimes not filling the gap when many players were injured.
- Added "Close" to the "Invitation from club history". The event stays, and you are taken to the ceremony before the next game.
Display
- Fixed a pitcher who gave up runs without recording an out being introduced as "first appearance of the season" next time.
- Updated outdated help text.
We also fixed other minor bugs and display issues.
Please keep sending bug reports to the "Bug Report" thread and requests to the "Feature Requests" thread.
