When setting minor league lineups, I would like it if there could be check boxes for the various configurations rather than the copy and paste to others.

For instance, when setting my minor leagues lineups, I want the same players to get experience regardless or pitchers being R or L. Therefore, the lineups I set for that week are identical. If I could just click both boxes for Lineup vs. R and Lineup vs. L I could accomplish both simultaneously.

Seems reasonable because capability for someone to set different lineups depending on the pitcher is not otherwise affected.

There's an option to "copy & paste" line ups and there's also an option for custom line ups that you can save. Not sure if you were aware of that but thought I'd mention it.

When a player comes off the disabled list, the screen you are at is the "disabled list" screen. You should be at the "overview" screen. If you are at the disabled list screen you have to go to the overview screen to move a player to the reserve roster so you can re-activate your injured player. It seems kind of silly to me. Why not just be at the screen where you HAVE TO GO TO.

In addition, if it's not against the rules of MLB (I don't know), be able to take a person from the disabled list (even if he is a major league player) and be able to dump him on the reserve squad. Now, I have to put a guy on my 25 man squad on the reserve squad and re-activate my disabled player to the active squad. Then I have to move him to the reserve squad and bring back the player I want. It's annoying. However, if that's a real rule in baseball, never mind. If it's not a real rule then let me activate the player wherever I want.

I would love to see a return to the old way of assigning jersey numbers so you can see what numbers are available and don't have to go into the editor every time

I am and I do use it over and over. Admittedly, this is a bit of a lazy sort of request, but it seems like a reasonably easy thing to do, just populate both vs. R and vs. L at the same time.

It has never made me feel like quitting because of all the work, but this does seem like the time to suggest something like this.

I would like to see the news subscription settings taken off the News & Mail page since they are already on the Manager Settings page. This way, we can see more of the news items in our inboxes. The news page would look cleaner and there would be less redundant controls that way.

On the in-game substitution screen in games with the DH is in play, dragging the current pitcher to a non-DH lineup spot, or setting a non-DH as pitcher, should forfeit the DH and set the current DH's defensive position to "none".

It's a small thing, but I'd like to see WAR return to Batting Stats 1 instead of having to go to 2.

RchW · 09-20-2015, 07:33 PM

We must be able to force the AI to use 4-man rotations in modern day playoffs. By the time AI teams get to the WS the top three SP may have started 3 or 4 times on 3 days rest. A human player using a 4-man rotation has a distinct advantage.

WAR is in Batting Stats 1 by default AFAIK. I just created a QS current day league to check what my other leagues show.

When I downloaded one of the latest patches (7 maybe?) it bumped it to 2 for me. Maybe I somehow changed a setting, but don't think so.

Apologies if this has been mentioned (or, I guess I'm just seconding it), but I'd like for column sizes in to be adjustable. When I'm looking at a player view, many columns either are too big (thus leaving lots of wastes white space) or too small (and I can't pull them open). Maybe include an option to always make columns fit when changing views and such.

Thanks

It would be nice to be able to look at all personnel - both available and already hired - just like you can look at all players. I don't think a screen exists for all personnel right now.

The same applies for games in the early 1900s. In the playoffs, the AI should adjust its rotation and have one fewer starter. So if it had a 4-man rotation, it should probably be a 3-man rotation in the playoffs.

bring back the "CHANGE UNIFORM NUMBER" option instead of having to constantly edit the player(s).

jeffw3000 · 09-23-2015, 09:58 AM

When creating a new player with the Create New Player function, would like to see a button giving you the option of bringing up that player when he is first created, instead of having to click OK, look up the player in free agents, and then bring him up there.

This is so important for a small item. Agreed!

timrh23 · 09-23-2015, 01:37 PM

I have one small request...on the Draft Pick Negotiation page can we leave the "signed" players on the list and set the status to "Signed" and the "Negotiate" link greyed out? This allows me to review how many "Impossible" or "Extremely Hard" players I was able to bowl over with an offer

airr233 · 09-23-2015, 10:05 PM

Is there any way there can be a contracts page where we can see all time highest paid player for example?
