2. Add in the 10/5 No Trade Clause
4. Have the AI calculate more types of awards, including a true MVP and Manager of the Year. Or at the very least, give us the option of at least 4 additional Custom Awards (And by the way, it would also be nice to have the option of each award being "per league" or "per sub-league")
8. Tweak FaceGen to show more ethnically authentic face types, or somehow give us the option to control the facial structures ourselves
9. Place weather info on the broadcast screen, as well as a clock showing the "universe time" and the current duration of the game

Definitely likey here! Especially number two.

I want a suggestions forum.

Add Umpires... i know i'm in the very small minority for this but it would be cool to have.

asaintsfan · 04-05-2007, 11:37 AM

bring back the sound!! the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the sound of the guy selling peanuts, the walk up music, the organ playing charge, the strike three call of the umpire, bring back the sound to the best game ever invented!!! 2007 is awesome!!

Yes, definitely, this would get my vote. Hell, even FPS:Baseball Pro '98 had this.

BusterKing · 04-05-2007, 12:21 PM

Yes, a very must:

"Allow player ratings to be generated by inputting desired stats."

And this also:

"More playoff options"

Those two would greatly enhance the game!

rogmax11 · 04-05-2007, 01:02 PM

I always wanted more than two sub-leagues available; perhaps modified playoff options would suffice.

I always wanted the ability to create players by inputting stats and getting ratings thereafter.

I always wanted normalization.

I always wanted a reset button that would zero out defective stats/events and take you back to opening day, or some other predetermined point in a season.

I always wanted an integrated historical database.

Sorry Steve, I never could follow the rules.

Let those playing in commissioner mode award the special award, not just team owners as it is now.

battists · 04-05-2007, 04:22 PM

Someone mentioned this in another thread, and I like it so much I'll put it in as my one:

Allow online team managers to write game recaps and export them with their teams, and allow the commissioner to review/OK them.

Great. battists' weighs in with a personal pick. Might as well close the thread now.

"Probably overmatched atr AA" - light red
"Not ready for AA" - dark red
"Probably ready for AAA" - light green
"Ready for AAA" - dark green

Maybe this could be activated via a tab on the transaction screen. I like to personally oversee every level of my minor league system and this would save a lot of time - now I am writing the information on a piece of paper while reading the minor league report and then going back to the transaction screen.

This is my pick as well! I get tired of writing names down or switching between OOTP and my browser!

This would be very helpful to me.

Allow you to set your own minimums for the historical leaderboards, so leagues that have been around for 12 seasons aren't stuck with ERA leaders who have only pitched 162 innings after they convert.

fantom1979 · 04-05-2007, 06:26 PM

Manager history in the SION page. You can see their records, but you have no idea when they got fired or when they retired because their history is not there.

Captain Walrus · 04-05-2007, 07:52 PM

I'll jump on the "Allow player ratings to be generated by inputting desired stats," bandwagon.

yajeflow · 04-05-2007, 08:20 PM

1. the ability to see a player's personality traits, but keep the player attributes hidden. i don't want to know how good a guy is at hitting. stats will tell me that. but i DO want to know if he is greedy, selfish, etc. those kind of things should be known, i feel.

2. a summary of the player's awards. it is cumbersome to dig through their history to count their various stuff.

luckily, both of my wishes are pretty easy to tackle.

mgom27 · 04-05-2007, 09:44 PM

I don't think these have been mentioned yet.
Minor League Team Contracts with MLB teams.
Automatic Relocation by the computer.
Split Squad Games.
Real Home Run Derby and Futures Game.
Mult Team Trades.

Relocation is already in the game.
I would really like to see a futures game.
Multi Team Trades would be fun to have. Can really get creative with deals.
