It Would've Been Nice IF...

It just occurred to me that it would've been nice if Andreas could've been able to add one small feature to TB when he had control of it. It would've been cool if you could schedule bouts 30 to 60 days ahead within the game to play out later. This might have required an "Unavailable Due to Injury" list though.

Say you wanted to match Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano for September 15th and you didn't want to accidentally match either of them against another opponent before that date. I wonder how difficult that would've been for Andreas or one of the other programming wizards to do?

Yes indeedy. Just a couple of really small touches like this would, in my opinion, bring this aging classic to a whole new level.
