A single button that generates baseball cards for all players in a lague

I used to find baseball cards pointless, but I've gradually come to like them over time, and now I love them. It's a great way to look back over a player's career, see what he looked like playing for different teams at different times, etc.

The only thing is that in order to generate baseball cards for all players, you need to go to each team and generate cards for the team. Even then, it misses guys who played but are in the minors or on the DL, or who have been released and not picked up.

The ideal solution would be to have a single button that generates a card for any player who played in a game during the current season regardless of current status or team. It seems like it would be a simple thing, and I hope it would be and can show up in the game at some point.

Or at least perhaps a "generate baseball cards for all players on this team" in the same screen where you select logos & jerseys?

There is one on the "baseball cards" screen. It just doesn't get people who are not on the active roster. It's a chore to go to each team, press the button, wait for it to generate, then go to the next team, for all the teams in the league, but that's the only way right now.

Good idea, for those inclined, but can you imagine how long that would take to generate on the first run? In addition, you'd need a checkbox that says something on the order of update cards at end of year, to embrace the newcomers and update all of the existing.
