About two versions ago, I came up with an idea on how to make roster creation much easier. Then, real life got in the way and I never registered here and suggested it. So, here I am today with my idea.

Suggestion:

The league history needs to be able to be edited. We need the ability to go in and edit the world series championships, previous standings, award winners, basically anything and everything in the league history.

Why this is needed:
This would allow roster creators to have the ability to only have to make an entire roster file from scratch one single time. Come next season, all you have to do is edit the league history with who won the wold series, who won awards, and team standings. For the players, we can already import in statistics so nothing needs to be done there. It would be simply doing some spread sheet work to update the individual players.

Side Bonus:
This would make it much much easier to do a massive game world wiht say MLB, multiple foreign leagues, a full NCAA and independent leagues because the time consuming part is having to recreate all those players that are not in the original database when you load a new roster through the Lahman DB.

Conclusion:
Markus, please take a good look at the feasibility of this? I would imagine it would completely change the way roster mods are created by the OOTP community, thus making the job so much easier. Which would lead to better mods being created.

Bonus:
I also just realized it would allow for custom roster files, like as an example one could change the start date to August 1st, edit in the standings for all games prior to that day and make a roster file for a post trade deadline file.
