Hit location redo button?

Post by OhioTex » Sun May 10, 2009 8:31 am

- minor product enhancement suggestion. Consider adding add a "redo" button on the "hit location touch entry screen", I have fat fingers and find marking the hit location for the ball does not always go where i thought i was pointing. (user error not program code). sometimes i want to edit or redo the map it made as soon as i see where it thinks i pointed. Currently i finish the play and then undo, which works, but causes double entry. feels like a redo button on that screen would be a relatively easy and intuitive minor addition.

As always thanks for the product, and the time effort and attention to provide new /updated releases in such a timely fashion.

I would like to echo this request. It bit me a couple times where I didn't get the placement quite where I wanted to. As a work around, I just completed the play, and then hit the undo and re-did it with the placement fixed.

We are curious if your are marking the hit location in "drag" mode. If instead of just touching, you hold your finger down on the playing field and drag around, you will see a red line extending from home plate to where the ball will be marked. It allows for very accurate placement. If you have been doing it that way and it's still an issue please let us know.

Me too, or +1 :)

I have ponder this many times, although I really don't remember making a petition for it.

Meanwhile, I use (and really appreciate) the tap-and-hold method, which will let you manipulate the position of the ball, dragging your finger around the screen, while the program draws the "line" from home to your finger. Even so, your finger still hides the ball.

Although with time I seem to have gotten better at it, sometimes I make errors (inadvertently click right field when it was center, or accidentally touch the screen before I meant to) and I waste a lot of time finishing the play to undo and begin again.

Hope this makes it to a near release!

Oops

FTM beat me to the "dragging" solution.

Still, I believe the request is valid, for the reasons I state in my previous post.

Actually, I would like an option to skip this altogether. I the minor league I'm scoring, at this point its not an issue, and I just want to record the hit. I'm not using iscore in realtime (yet) and so I don't always remember where the ball was hit.
