OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OOTP10 Suggestions: Game/League Setup Options

SUGGESTION: List the parent club of minor affiliates by team nickname (preferably) or team abbreviation, not by city.

REASON: Most remotely historical leagues have multiple cities with two or more teams. When I setup games I frequently have to move and/or reassign minor affiliates. When they are affiliates of a team from a multi-team city, I have no idea which team they started out with OR which team I'm reassigning them to. Frequently it turns out to be the same team, which wastes time and effort. In addition, I worry about this botched reassigning, because you have to actually start the game to find out which parent club they're assigned to, and by that time they've already assigned minor leaguers to teams. When I reassign the teams, how do I know whether I'm also reassigning players away from the teams that held them historically. The whole thing is a mess.

PRIORITY: High, primarily because this should be a very easy fix, and I can think of no reason why it was done wrong to begin with.
