Actually, I'd like to see suspensions in the game as well. If players brawl in the game, a suspension should be automatic.

Batting stats for pitchers against a particular hitter and vice versa.

I asked for an 'editable' suspensions file that was togglable several pages prior to this.

I agree--roids/drug crap is not wanted by me, but if the file is editable (as is the injury file), then you can decide for yourself.

jbmagic · 05-31-2005, 03:20 PM

i would love for ties especially 3 way ties to follow the MLB tie breaker rule.

as of now i think it goes by alpahabet or by team id#

Matteo · 05-31-2005, 03:23 PM

1. MLB Service Days & 40-man Service Days left in the season, preferably in the salary html report...

2. Salary commitments for the next couple of years, also based on 1)

3. Ability to save scouting filters like CM (eg. SP with endurance >8 and stuff >9)

Electrovik · 05-31-2005, 03:24 PM

Maybe a manager option to hit the batter with a pitch in the head (or anywhere else...) when you're pissed about the game, your pitcher or the batter...

Actually, the current bullpen AI simulates the circa 2004 San Francisco Giants bullpen perfectly.

A larger list for single-season records, like there is for career records. Top 20-25 at least. And possible the ability to sort single-season records according to eras to better compare players (especially pitching records).

sebastian0622 · 05-31-2005, 03:42 PM

Ability to view (and sort by) career stats from the team roster page just like is possible for current year and past year stats.

I like this one too.

Emmaculate · 05-31-2005, 03:55 PM

The ability for those of us who use the June 1st draft in Online Leagues to view the draftees in game (other than by using the almanac), before June 1st.

Alot of leagues start the draft in the preseason, and its impossible to see the high school/college stats and signing bonuses when drafting.

This would be great IMO.

eriqjaffe · 05-31-2005, 04:00 PM

1) Ability to archive a league (using 7-Zip, or some other open source compression) before proceeding to the next season, or at least the option to back up your league using the in-game "copy" method...a simple "Backup League?" dialog box right after you click the "Proceed to Next Season" button...

2) A franchise career leaderboard, rather than just a master one for the entire league structure.

3) "Top ten" single-season leaders - essentially, an expanded record book.

marsusw · 05-31-2005, 04:03 PM

It may be too much for 6.5, but I'd kill my mother for compensatory draft picks. Okay, maybe not, but its very hard to run a small market franchise without the extra draft picks. If not 6.5 please include compensatory picks in 7.0.

MizzouRah · 05-31-2005, 04:14 PM

How about listing the catcher's thrown out % year by year instead of only the current year?

kq76 · 05-31-2005, 04:16 PM

I suspect most of these would be rather small changes and many of these come from the additional perspective of an online league commissioner.

-be able to select a league from the opening screen instead of loading the current league and then having to go through the menus to open a different league
-being able to release, trade, demote, promote, extend, disable list, 40 man a player from anywhere in the game by way of a right click menu whereas a left click opens the player screen
-not be able to move a player to the DFA area and waiver area, only way you can have them do that is as a consequence of removing them from the 40 man area, the active roster, or as an option after moving them to the trade block for the purposes of: dumping salary, judging trade interest, to trade after the trading deadline, to decoy for trades.
-options to backup up only txt and dat files, or boxes and logs, or both, but never p*.html as they're regenerated whenever you want them anyways
-during the playoffs have links in the league menu to see the standings screen and playoffs screen. normally you only see the playoffs screen and if you want to see the year end standings you have to generate the standings report.
-have links in the league menu to see the rule 5 draft and spring training screens instead of having to wait until FA and the ammy draft are done
-have links in the team menu to generate the salary, current/recent financial, and financial history reports instead of having to go through the front office screen first
-include ability ratings development to the dev reports
-list DFA'd and waived players on the team report like say under the DL
-increase the top prospects to the top 20 (please? and maybe increase the league wide one to top 200 too)
-separate the transactions report into releases, waivers, trades, DL, promotions/demotions, FA signings, extensions, etc reports
-track all changes in financial factors (e.g. market size, fan loyalty, fan interest, ticket price, etc) and figures (cash, the different revenues, expenses, attendance, payroll, cash, profit, etc) rather just what is in the financial history report and more like how the dev report does it so you can see exactly when in the season something like fan loyalty changed and noting everything for the season start and finish
-have financial projections like what should revenues, expenses, profits, budgets ($ left for...) be at the end of the season, beginning of next season, and maybe even at the end of every month of the current season
-fix the $ left for extensions formula to = (Last Year Merchandising Revenue + Last Year Attendance Revenue + This Year Broadcasting Revenue + Cash)
- (This Year Salary of Players with 2 or more years left on their contract + Next Year Salary of Extensions + This Year Salary of Coaches + Arbitration Estimates) instead of what appears to be approximately 94% of Arbitration Estimates. That is, in the budget formula you seem to use a value for arbitration eligible players that is not the estimate nor what they eventually get, but for most players it is about 94% of the estimate for some strange reason. And get someone to correct the FAQ about this.
-if a player cannot be awarded arbitration less than his current salary then never give an estimate that is lower
-better organize the league files (in the league folder, not the generated reports folder) like how all p*.txt files are in the players folder, put all boxes in a boxes folder, logs in a logs folder, misc in a misc folder, etc instead of throwing most everything in the league_news_bx folder. It would make it a lot quicker when looking for a file.
-fix the box scores so the logos show up
-have an actual league wide trading block screen, instead of just the report, with a link in the league menu
-put a link to the league wide player list screen in the league menu, instead of having to get to it from the almanac screen
-have an actual league wide possible FAs next year screen, instead of just the report, with a link in the league menu
-generate amateurs a year ahead of time and have a screen to them so we can dream of getting to draft them for the entire year like we do in real life
-keep more records
-have more leaderboards
-associate name files (some of us use different name files for different leagues) and default player photo (some of us like to use a league's logo there instead and if you ave more than one league you can't) with a particular league instead of having the same for all leagues
-give us more name file options like the originator mod does, which appears to be pretty popular
-add in fields to the manager screen to input your email address, AIM, MSN, and yahoo IDs that other online league managers can click on to contact that manager
-be able to choose and remember the styles.css file you want to use when generating reports for that particular league instead of having to change it every time from the default
-clear all rookie records button
-fix the records like where the rookie batting average record sometime doesn't pick up
-be able to input league wide financial factors like market size, fan interest, etc and figures like both local and national tv deals, etc instead of having to input each and every team's value to the same
-make the minimum cash level inputtable like the cash maximum level is so that teams can't dump high-priced players and not be hurt by it
-do away with the silly revenue sharing system now in place and instead have some better and optional revenue sharing systems
-be able to edit the draft order without having to use a 3rd party editor
-be able to select the all-stars instead of having to use a 3rd party editor
-change the height exporting system to something where you don't have to reformat the csv to d-m before reimporting it
-try and make more quality FAs get signed during the FA period instead of having some leagues having to hold a special FAP to get those quality FAs signed
-show mins, maxes, means, medians, etc for stats and financials
-in the main screen list the win/loss records of all the teams for some inputtable number of games like how many online leagues like to see the record for the last sim instead of the no matter what last 10 games
-in the main screen or another screen list the games back for wild card races, not just the games back for the division race
-in the online league setup screen have a folder for exports and one for reports as some of us like to separate the two

I could come up with many more, but this is on short notice.

Dunno about 6.5, but this will be in v7 according to Markus:

I would like to see the major league manager handled more like the coaches and minor league managers, that is with contracts and retirements and various abilities. I wish that manager mode could include an option for general manager mode, as this is the way I play the game.

I like these. Also, have an option (an additional button or a check box) in the Almanac to show Career Leaders for active players only. Once a league gets a couple decades under it's belt, the Career Leaders page gets a little too static or my taste as it's chock full of retirees. I'd like to see who's got the best current career going. The milestones page is close, but not quite the same thing.

Emmaculate · 05-31-2005, 04:25 PM

Maybe allow teams to go further into debt that just 5 million. Would be nice to see cash mismanagement really hurt owners, especially in Online Leagues.
