Was their .230 team batting average really the worst ever, and if not, who was worse? Personally, I'd do this a bit and then get sidetracked looking up the real worst (and occasionally best) teams in these categories and get lost for hours (well, half hours, anyway).
- Progressive leaderboards. This is the other one I loved to look at. It's nice that your current all-time HR leader after 105 years of simming just retired with 800 homers, but who led before him? Also, with career leaderboards, it always seemed like your league had reached and passed a critical point when the active leader and career leader in hits were two different people.
- Using shading to separate years or minor league levels, not everything. Not a huge deal, but it does make things easier to read. Baseball Mogul does this really, really well IMO, with different colors at every level. I don't need that, just a way to see at a glance if a guy played with more than one team or at more than one level in a single year.
- Ability to set minimums for rate stats included in the leader boards. The game actually seems to do a pretty good job at setting these out the longer a league lasts so that early on you get a lot of one-season wonders but after 30 years you mainly get people who actually had careers. Nonetheless, I'd like to be able to set this stuff.
COME ON I KNOW ITS EASY I READ A BOOK ON PYTHON ONCE PUT IT IIIINNN MARKUS!!!!!
