I'd be content just being able to compare the fictional players in my fictional-only league with players from the MLB history, in addition to comparing them with players in my league.

Knowing at a glance that some fictional guy is a Tony Gwynn type, or a Adam Dunn, type, etc., says a lot about them. You get to use the knowledge of the real MLB most of us already have, to our advantage in the game.

By being able to compare fictional players only to other fictional players, it doesn't help a lot unless we're familiar with our entire fictional universe.

Edit: yay, I'm now in rookie ball!

At least you get to play.

Well, this is a very small thing, but desirable if it would be easy to do. I'd like baseball cards to be customizable, or to have a template, that would allow this much information on one side:

I haven't bought baseball cards in 20 years. But, back in the day, they put "Game Winning RBI" as a stat. Anyone else like this stat? I know it's not useful in a Sabermetric way, but it's the equivalent of W-L record which isn't too Sabermetric either, just fun to see.

I have these logged with the development team already. (baseball cards are customizable already, but I believe you may have meant, "I'd like to have at least these fields available as tokens for customization")

We'll see just what they'll be able to do.

Thanks for the update on the update.

My request for a small feature, as always, is more keyboard shortcuts.

I've been playing this game for almost a decade, and all the clickety-clickety's gonna make the carpal tunnel catch up with me very soon, I fear!!

Used to be able to promote/demote with F1, F2 (AAA), F3 (AA), F4 (A).

Would love to see that available again, especially in conjunction with mass select.

Lastly, giving the user some options to determine tiebreakers at the end of the year to determine who wins a division, and who gets the final playoff spots. I think this can be implemented Very easily, just look at Tony M's playoff editor!!

Thanks and great job on the game!

YES! YES! YES! As I have said too many times over the years, PLEASE give me my byes in the playoffs! This would be a great first step in a larger playoff development (double elimination, round robin, etc). I also do like the suggestion above for the NHL style re-seeding after each round but the byes would be the greatest gift of all.

I know you can tie bookmarks to F2 through F10, which is a start. But it would be nice to be able to have more than 9 keys.

There's a news story about it when it happens, but that's it, doesn't show on the player's history, and there's no tracking of how many times it's happened historically in a league.

Yes, please track this.
And please bring back player of the week!

I was one of the complainers about this in version X. If this is still a problem, can we get a fix so that the team with the better regular season record gets home field in each playoff round, regardless of the first round results? I know in version X that, for example, if a 4th place team beat the 1st place team in the first round, that 4th place team would get home field over the 2nd place team in round two.

Good suggestion and much needed.

I posted this suggestion awhile ago in this thread http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ayer-card.html

With all of the room on this screen I was wondering if it would be possible to add the player's draft history or original non-draft signing with a club. I would add it to the top line above player expectation but it could go where ever Markus thought best. I'd find it interesting to see how and when he came in the league while looking at his current expectations and various time of service.

Sweed · 04-28-2010, 08:59 PM

How about adding player age to the salary report? Very useful info to have at hand while reviewing your clubs salaries.

PadresFan · 04-28-2010, 09:08 PM

Change the current Broadcast Screen Player indicator so it doesn't crop their image. Most annoying aspect of the game.... Here's this great Facegen feature, but we won't let you see the full image on the broadcast screen's field. What?

I reported a bug on this that was sent to development, so I assume it is going to be fixed. The recently viewed list is replacing the most recently viewed player once it fills up instead of the one that was viewed the longest time ago when a new player is viewed.

Currently you have to do a little dance to update an installed add on if the add on gets modified. Instead of uninstalling the add on, deleting the file, etc..., it would be nice if add on central had an apply update button when appropriate.

discodude5 · 04-28-2010, 09:24 PM

Please add an * or have the player name a different color in the retired page to indicate they are in the hall of fame.
Would make it a lot easier to manually induct players after 5 years of retirement.
