I also root for the Cubs out of the National League unless they are playing the Indians as I have a mutual hatred for all things White Sox with Cubs fans.

Edit: And yes, rooting for the two teams with the longest championship droughts probably does make me a masochist of some sort.

I know the name of a good therapist.

Sorry.

Hey Markus, quick question: Will there be an option to play as a female manager in this edition? I'd really love to play as Ms. Annie this season instead of Mr. Annie.

Welcome to the forums, Annie! Hopefully Markus can accommodate this request for you. If not in 17, then maybe next year.

Will you ever bring back the jump into a game when a milestone could happen? I loved that feature while I'm simming.. being able to watch the final 3 outs of a possible no-hitter, seeing a 300th HR, etc.

I really, really, really think there should be player deaths -- even if not for current players, at least for players who are already deceased. I had a game where Cory Lidle became a pitching coach. Perhaps even if not a date of death per se, at least have it coded that players who are deceased in real life will not become active in any way in modern games.

My wife being named Ann Marie,
I always change the owner name of the club I manage to Ann Marie. Guess it shows who's boss around here.

Awesome and severely underrated feature. This needs a bigger push.

I didn't think about this. I could do the owner name, and then pretend I'm doing my best Arte Moreno/Peter Angelos impression.

Indeed, I'm too far gone... my only therapy is seeing them win the title like in your sim...

I am guessing The Wolf and BigR had something to do with the historical minors?

Bigrod, Spritze and Markus were the three guys who made it happen

Assos · 02-23-2016, 12:03 PM

I started dabbling in a historical minors project last year, life just took over. So many spreadsheets for it. But those three know how to do it! Thanks guys!

Yes! Please do this! I made that thread about Ivan Calderon becoming a manager. I know some will slip through the cracks, but somehow we need to make sure these don't happen.

Baebae32 · 02-26-2016, 05:26 AM

Could we get the option to have the "Leaderboard Appearances" section on the player history tab to be league specific? Would be useful when playing with more than one major league. Thanks

What I would do is just include a tick box in the editor that let you prevent a person being used by the game as a coach.

Has there been any improvement in how we can view rule 5 eligible players (like being able to filter all players in my organisation by those eligible)?

I was in on the orignal push and that was it. The other guys made it happen.

If you can't Markus will you at least tell us why not?

Are player deaths making it into this year's version? I can see why it may not be allowed for real MLB players, but in fictional leagues it would add to the immersion greatly.

Seriously though, if a 10-time all star unanimous HOF star player passed away in my fictional league it would increase the immersion 10X.
