Agreed. Considering the limited resources marketing should be very focused during times of the year where fans are thinking about what it would be like to run a team. Based on that I would use the following schedule:

- Announce the game w/ new feature list around the start of Free Agency/ winter meeting period
- Market heavily during spring training
- Release the game on/around opening day
- Market during the week of the MLB draft. Offer a discount during this time.
- Market during the week of the trade deadline. Offer a bigger discount during this time to rope any holdout customers and maybe get them in for next season
- rinse/repeat
