I wonder if it would be useful to have a category encompassing some of the player-related features that aren't directly linked to performance ratings- I'm referring to player morale, player popularity, and player personality. There was a rather long discussion in General, with some very good ideas, about changes to the Popularity system, at least, so it may generate some response.
I'll put such suggestions in the 'grab bag' otherwise, unless there's an existing category where they belong? |

battists:
How closely do the categories model existing or future-planned Beta-testing group assignments?

Steve, I've put a couple of suggestions in regarding the database structure under grab bag. I know this is an area we're not supposed to play with directly, so should I steer clear of making these sort of suggestions?

All suggestions are welcome, even if Markus ends up ignoring them!

I don't feel like they actually are worthy of posts in the main Suggestion forum and if the underlying database structure is something that isn't up for discussion then I won't bother making the big list. I had a similar type of suggestion mocked by one of the team for the 2007 Suggestion thread when I said that there were derivable fields being stored in some tables, basically saying that I didn't know what I was talking about, and that is one of the reasons I am loathe to spend time listing them if I get a similar response. |

But, that said, I would say that checking the field types would be a separate suggestion from changing some values from derived fields to something else, etc. Basically, just group your suggestions logically. I'd put these suggestions in the Tools section, for lack of a better place. To be honest, I have no idea if the underlying database structure is "up for discussion." With any of these suggestions, I think there's a chance that Markus may say "Not enough return on the investment of my time," or possibly that some changes aren't desirable because they would change the format of league files and cause conversion headaches and such. But please, don't let some comment someone made deter you! Steve |

On the one hand, there is no question that changing the underlying database generally has a wider impact on saved games and conversion than, say, adding a new filter option. As such, I'd expect such requests to meet with stiff resistance. I suspect that such changes would only go through if they offered obvious, measurable improvements and didn't cause save game or compatibility problems. If it's just "would be nice for those of us who fiddle with the back end," I suspect it's not likely to happen. The benefits need to outweigh the risk, and they also need to outweigh the time Markus would spend on it. (Value Over Replacement Feature??) On the other hand, I can think of at least several cases last year where beta team members pestered the ever-loving heck out of Markus until he implemented some database-level changes, one of which really dramatically reduced the memory use of the program. So, it DOES happen. |

Anyway, I've started putting them up and I'm sure Raidergoo will 'enjoy' putting them in his spreadsheet

Only been back a day or so, and hadn't seen this.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Sounds like a euphemism for dispatching things to where they won't be seen, which sounds bad.

Anyway, I personally guarantee that all suggestions posted on the suggestion forum will at least get seen and considered by Markus and Andreas. |

Some of the ones that really are odd (single words) are 'torrid' and 'momentarily' 'torrid' to you lot means hot (good) and to use means more heated (bad) - if something is described as a torrid affair it's not good, but a torrid hitting streak in baseball is good... 'momentarily' to us means 'for a moment' and to the Americans it's 'in a moment' - I remember seeing an episode of RAW :blush: and Jim Ross said that they 'would be back momentarily' which just sounds so wrong... (at least, unlike the Aussies, you don't use thong for flip-flops... )

Throwing batting practice is a tedious, time consuming, thankless, thing. It has to be done in order to get the hitters sufficient practice. It may come across better as "it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it." |

Suggestions: Ball Parks and Sound
I think a method of exporting/import ball park data would be good. Manually entering all that data each time you start a league is tedious.
Also, adding sound like in OOTP 6.5 would be nice. It adds a new touch of realism when playing a game. |
