Features we'd like in later releases

skep · 03-23-2020, 12:52 PM

Sealed Deck tournaments! Instead of just opening packs, play with them. Have an "entry" of 10 regular packs (or 10k pp, either or please). Once tournament starts players have 20-30 minutes to open packs and construct team. 8 or 16-team quick tournaments with minor prizes.

Suspenseful animations! Once you get a feel for the animations, you know what's going to happen. What I'd like to see is one "close" animation that then zooms in on the action (throw to home plate for instance) and shows one of three or four other animations showing "safe" or "out". When I say "zoom in", what I mean is have a box appear showing a zoomed in animation, some of the old baseball video games utilized this mechanic. You could do this for a number of plays to increase tension and make it feel more like a real game.

Integrated logins! Switching between three or even six team logins is very tedious. I would like to be able to log in once in the morning and that's it, with a dropdown menu to select which team to view. This should work with not just multiple logins, but multiple accounts.

Tournament info screen! Right now you have to "play now" view a tournament to see what's happening. I would like to see a window that shows what tournaments my teams are in, what round the tournament is in, my current record in that round, and time until next sim.

We have a running draft of an idea sort of like sealed pack ideas that came from a few people in the Discord. Something we're definitely going to spend a lot of time talking about as a team in the coming months

Wayllander · 03-23-2020, 02:56 PM

Similar to the filter show only cards I can afford - it would be great to see show only cards I don't own.....

HelpDodgers · 03-23-2020, 03:19 PM

I would love to see the stat 'player of the game' listed somewhere. It would be cool to track.

Also, I would like to be able to open up cards in AH to see their full card.

I would like to know how to get rid of the blank 'news' screen on my main page

. I can't figure it out.

I would like baserunning, stealing and speed all to show on my test roster screen instead of having to always sort and show baserunning)

TheYonk · 03-23-2020, 04:33 PM

Would love to see:

1.) Auto sell cards that match the card type ( like auto sell only live cards )

2.) more search on the roster management screen, I would love to search for players to activate, sell, or what not based on criteria

3.) bulk sell options for cards would be nice

skep · 03-30-2020, 11:09 AM

Tournament leaderboard!

I'd assign 1 point per 100pp in prizes (200pp prize = 2 points, 2 pack prize = 20 points). Might be tricky with card prizes, but I'm sure you could figure a way to do it.

Warhawk · 03-30-2020, 11:24 AM

I think tiered collections would be an improvement. Collections so far have vacillated wildly between being way too hard for the reward and way too easy for the reward, and a lot of that had to do with the percentage of cards required to complete. Instead of having one reward for a collection, have several of escalating value, so for example for a mission with, say, 34 cards, like one of the live missions, rewarding a silver for 20 cards, a gold for 26, and a diamond for 32 or 34 or whatever.

skep · 04-09-2020, 03:53 PM

As I'm going through simming the 1927 Yankees to get my challenge mode packs, I realize that I don't enjoy this very much. Instead of this, what about login rewards? Every Monday reset the login rewards and every day at like 3 AM reset the daily login. Then...

1st weekly login - 100pp

2nd weekly login - 250pp

3rd weekly login - 1 regular pack

4th weekly login - 250pp

5th weekly login - 1 regular pack

6th weekly login - 500pp

7th weekly login - 1 historical pack

I quit grinding those packs a long time ago. My time is worth more than the $1 to simply buy the pack.

sam10gle · 04-10-2020, 09:33 AM

A select all cards below X button. This way, I don't have to manually click every card to send them to the Inactive roster.

They should revamp challenge mode to start from a specific set of players for everyone, 1 for historical players, 1 for fictional players. Then proceed in standard solo dynasty mode for 50 seasons, (like Connie Mack). But, make the achievements more like PT so you can still get your packs, timely. Even further, you could earn more than 1 pack in a playing session, but they only "drop" into your account once every 72 hours. That way you don't have to quit just because you got your pack. At the end of 50 seasons, have some kind of dynasty leaderboard. (As much as feasible, each season's draft class would have the same names and potential for everyone for fun comparability). For the purposes of the leaderboard, only your first attempt counts.

Janks · 04-10-2020, 10:51 AM

I dont think this has been requested.

I would like a way to be able to sell cards from the collection mission screen. I have a pack only team and there is no way I will complete the new Roaring 20's Heroes mission. I would like to click on the players I do have in that collection and go to the auction screen to sell them.

Most of the time, the players are inactive. So I have to go a few layers deep to find him and then auction him.

Thanks

Markus talked about that topic on here. Seems like it would not be possible in the near future...

skep · 04-10-2020, 12:36 PM

I'd like the ability to watch either just the top half or bottom half of the game. So every offensive plate appearance but skip all of opponent's plate appearances.

Or maybe you could have three different highlight reels. One highlight reel like you already have, and then one for each team which has all their offense plus the entirety of the last relevant inning? Something like that. More replay options.

daves · 04-10-2020, 01:00 PM

Speed in AH filter.

Snowball · 04-10-2020, 01:43 PM

I love to watch replays in PT. I would love to see more details when watching a replay.

Given the fact that it takes whole eternity to fill big 128 seat tournaments, perhaps these tournaments wouldn't have to be counted in the limitation of max three signs up.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Maybe add a 4th tournament slot that can only be used for weekly, monthly or fixed time tourneys?

Yep, exactly. After signing up for three "regular" tournaments, only weekly and monthly would remain possible to sign up...

Another thing which would be really welcomed is binding collection and tournaments rewards to an account. I am not saying every single of them but rather some special cards from special tournaments or collections. One of the examples where this limitation could be applied are themed teams. Let me elaborate:
based on how the current collections look like, it seems to me that dropping whole collection mission set based on one franchise isn't desired anymore. Yet, the whole idea of franchise collections isn't bad at all. The only issue is that a lot of players aren't that interested in rewards - they just drop the rewards to the auction house and consequently drive prices of required cards up. Not allowing to drop such reward cards to auction house would limit how many players will decide in the end to pursuit such mission and would benefit real themed card collectors...
