Arbitration

Karros270 · 01-16-2004, 08:18 PM

I would love to see arbitration eligibility measured by days of service like in real life. That way I can bring a prospect up to play a few games in September and don't have to lose a year of his eligibility. This is probbably the #1 improvement I'[d like to see in OOTP6.

I definitely agree with this. Any new rule, or addition/change to a rule that makes the game more realistic is 100% great in my book.

if that happens (I'd like to see it too) You'd have to have minor league free agents as well though, or else players could spend a hell of a lot of time working for a small contract. And to have minor league free agents, you'd also need 40-man rosters, which would be a huge improvement people have asked for. With that there are all sorts of options.

My point is basically, asking for 40-man rosters seems more beneficial, as with that can come a lot, and you kind of need that for this suggestion anyway. I'm not sure how much work would actually be involved in programming that either, I think the good majority would be the AI logic in deciding who should be on/off the roster
