I will fix some open bugs and may also add a couple of small features. Any suggestions, let me know

Cheers!

NOW would be a good time to deal with bug reports -- all 200+ that still languish in the PT database. If it were me, I wouldn't make users wait 3+ months to see action on these issues. But that's just me.

Well, I would make sure they are properly triaged, at least. Some are more important than others, despite what we may feel individually about the issues that we encounter.

Why not format those screens according to number of sub-leagues and resolution? If Markus can do it for the In-game screens, he should be able to do it for the schedule and standings too.

I'm in agreement with the OP, there's a lot of wasted space. I don't know anything about programming n graphics, so I'm not sure what would be involved in having a single screen for single leagues and then have it split, as it is now, for multiple. But absolutely it could be improved.

I was just wondering how that "killed" the immersion.

My annual request for draft info (round and pick) on the contract screen. It has made it to the html player page but I use the "contract" tab quite a bit, especially looking at opposing players, and it would be great to have this info more up front.

Also I'd love to see age added to the salary report.

Really small one, in the manager homepage if you are not in first place you get the 2nd place, 1GB showing, or 1st place -GB, I would like to see a 1st place, 1GB message to show how much you are in first by (or a different abbreviation, but the number of games up matters too)

koohead · 07-19-2012, 06:22 PM

I'd like an option to disable scouts finding players for one league but leaving it enabled for another league. currently it's a global game option. Also, would like the ability to disable a league from generating players (I believe currently even if I disable the draft, the engine automatically generates players to make sure the league does not run out of players), relying on the FA pool from other leagues in the universe for its player pool.

Big Oil · 07-19-2012, 06:30 PM

Thanks for the solicitations, Markus.

I was hoping that you could implement an amateur draft eligible shortlist filter. Before Rule 4 drafts, I review between 50-100 potential shortlist "targets." However, they become hard to distinguish from other shortlisted FA's that I have.

Additionally, it is difficult to determine whether these shortlisted players have been drafted. Perhaps there could be a special screen on the draft page denoting a). targets b). targets still on the board and c). targets already drafted?

These would really improve the draft experience, in my opinion, and the draft is one of my favorite parts of the game.

Thank you again.

When adding a league to the 2012 Roster set there is no region options. This should be an easy fix.

doors11 · 07-19-2012, 06:43 PM

I agree with some others..

Please Picture in Scout box on scout screen.

Have the GM box and his picture on Personnel screen Always , Even if you control the team. My league is set up where i control the team in comish mode and every team has a GM still..I'm not the GM, The Commish. I'd like to control the teams, not the AI..Please GM box and picture in the Personnel screen always or have a button to do if you want to..To Me The pictures of the players and All staff is very important as it adds something to Text type game.

Thanks

I think you can work around that by setting that league's PCMs to .001 or whatever the lowest possible setting is. That way the generated players will stink to high heaven and never get signed, eventually retiring. Though having a "disable draft-eligible player generation" would be the ideal fix.

I'm being selfish and thinking about myself, so i'm sorry for that, but i would like this fixed

dickysty · 07-19-2012, 08:08 PM

I play a lot of "God Mode", in my league.

I would love to see each team's weaknesses at a quick glance. Just like it's worded on the trade screen, but place the same information on each teams home page.

Then, when I need to look for a trade that could help both teams it would cut down on the leg work that I need to do now to make a trade happen.

da commish · 07-19-2012, 08:43 PM

I would like the option of having all high school feeder league players have the same city of birth as their team. I know that this is not realistic as many high school players are born in one city and move to another to play in high school. Being able to set the % would be even better and would be a little more realistic. I think it would add to the immersion factor of following a player from their home town through their entire career (e.g., being able to do a player search to find all players that were born in your home town that are now in the majors).

toxicavenger74 · 07-19-2012, 08:52 PM

During the draft, I have always wanted my scouting director to recommend the best player per position as well as the overall best player to draft. As of now he only recommends one player, maybe two once you get deeper in the draft.

greendiver · 07-19-2012, 09:19 PM

I would love to be able to name and save different screen configurations for the broadcast screen. I've got a couple that I like and it would make things easier to change them.

It would also be a great time saver if when I am setting coordinates for a new ballpark, I could set a dozen or so key coordinates and have the computer extrapolate the rest. I realize I'd still have to tweak them, but it would be easier than dragging and dropping them all.

bailey · 07-19-2012, 11:01 PM

When assembling an amateur draft list, I always start by asking the computer its opinion. Now, suppose I agree with the computer's #1 and #2 pick, but based on team need I like #8 next. I would like to make #8 my #3 pick while pushing the computer's 3-7 picks down 1. As it is now, I can only switch #8 and #3.

I've always wanted this. There is a basketball game where you can say I want you to recommend the best point guard and so on.

I thought I read somewhere that this was going to be in this version but I cant find it. Is there a place where I can see that, for example, Player A has 5 world series rings and Player B has 4?

Front Office Football has this and I would LOVE this as well.
