Something like mlb.com has, where a few important stats are shown for each player, like avg/hr/rbi/OPS or something. Reason Much quicker than scrolling down to the middle of a page, plus it's convenient. Priority High |

The return of editable milestones (ie, every 100 HR from 400 up, every 500K 2500 and up, etc)... a page, lines in the player bios, etc. Reason They were well liked in 6.5, and it's interesting to see them. Priority High |

Add number of Championships each player has won as long as it's more than 0. Reason I'd like to see it, and I've seen others want it. Priority High |

Suggestion
Change the eligibility criteria for the BA top 10 and BA top 100 prospect lists. At present, players are eligible provided they are 25 years old and under, and provided they have less than 2 years of MLB service time. The age requirement could perhaps be relaxed, but more importantly, the service time should be lowered to 1 year. Reason One now finds many players who are no longer rookies on BA prospect lists, which makes the lists unlike the real-life article. Priority Medium. |

Suggestion
Extend the team BA prospect lists to 15-30 players. Reason BA used to publish top 15 lists in their magazine, and now publish top 30 lists in their Handbook. I certainly want to know, when e.g. making a trade, more than 10 prospects in an organization. Priority Low. |

Suggestion
Take a snapshot of BA prospect lists on Jan 1st, and include prospect rankings in player histories, in the same way that awards are listed. So, a player's history might read '01/01/2008: Ranked the no. 4 prospect in the Detroit Tigers organization. Ranked the no. 91 prospect in MLB.' Reason I'd certainly find it interesting to look back over a player's career, and see whether he was a highly regarded prospect throughout his minor league career. I also find it strange that BA prospect lists update daily in the game, but that's a separate issue, and I imagine some people like things that way. Priority Low. |

Fix the embedded links in the HTMLs that are copied into the almanac. They logo links and photo links and other links do not work from the Almanac locations. Reason Because it is broke Priority High

Player HTML cards should have player personality data included. Reason There's no way of knowing what a player's work ethic/intelligence are without opening the game. Priority Medium |

Add some color to ratings listed in the HTML player cards to mirror that in the game. Reason Useful to have that right out there, without having to mentally convert a black 87 into a blue one. It would also make it easier to read ratings at a glance. Priority Medium |

Suggestion
Reinstate the html Ratings Report from ootp 6.x that would list the players in my organization in the order of how good they are (instead of the current Ratings Report, which just orders players alphabetically). Reason When I play in ootp 6x online leagues, I rely on this Ratings Report more than any other report. It gives me a quick way of seeing who's the best RF that I should call up from AAA. The Ratings Report from ootp 6x was great in that it was more than just ordering players by Star Ratings - it was employing some smart logic that seemed to include ratings, position, speed, etc. Priority critical (to me)!

Suggestion
Clean up dead links in minor league League 'home page' reports. If you go to the homepage for a minor league (e.g. http://www.pennant-chase.com/reports..._101_home.html) There are several links on this page that never have informaiton in them because the game doesn't generate such information. This includes: Draft log: http://www.pennant-chase.com/reports...aft_log_0.html Top Spects: http://www.pennant-chase.com/reports...prospects.html Trading block (I think): http://www.pennant-chase.com/reports...ing_block.html Upcoming free agents (I think): http://www.pennant-chase.com/reports..._report_0.html Reason Because to me this is kinda like a bug - clean up and streamline the game.

Change column headers in html reports to be clickable to allow sorting by column. Reason Would be wicked cool. Priority Low

Suggestion
Here's my suggestion for improved Injury Report. My suggested format has 2 key advantages: 1. Twice as many players can be displayed within the same real estate (less wasted space). (Notice that below 23 records can be listed in the same real estate currently occupied by only 11 records.) 2. If the injuries are displayed in a table, then we would be able to sort the report by clicking on the column headers (at least in-game), which would be a good way to quickly see how many injuries 1 person had, or how many injuries you had that were the result of running the bases. Below are listed the current Injury Report and my suggested enhancement. Suggested report format: Reason Would be wicked cool. Priority Low

Suggestion
All-time records for teams (ie, Most wins in one season: 2008 Arizona Diamondbacks, 135 or Least runs scored in one season: 1937 New York Yankees, 440, Biggest winning streak, 2008 Arizona Diamondbacks, 31, etc) Reason Everyone knows how bad the Mets were in '62. What if a team was close to breaking that record and we could look and see maybe a short blurb about that team (like '62 Mets: 617 scored, 948 allowed, best players, etc) and see how they compare? That would rule. Priority High |

Suggestion
Make HTML reports easier to produce from the game. For instance, right now, the only way to get them is to 'export' them as if you're uploading them. In pretty much every version of the game, this has been a mild to medium hassle. Slow, cumbersome and all of that. It would be a lot nicer if these reports were somehow generated naturally or in a more seamless manner and updated automatically, rather than having to generate them separately. Or better yet, just let us print pages inside the game. Reason Because they're such a big part of what people do with the game, it would be a lot nicer to have the ability to export what information we want, specifically to put it online, especially for solo leagues/dynasty writer immersion.

Links to next year's team, and last year's team on a certain team's page (ie, for the 1980 Phillies, it would have links to the '79 Phils page and the '81 Phils page), or even have a year dropdown box for that purpose. Reason If I want to see a team's year-by-year progress, I'd have to go back to a team's Index, then click the next year, which is too inconvienient. Priority Medium High |

Suggestion
Playoff results for playoff teams on their team pages. For the '80 Phils page it would say they defeated the Astros 3-2 and the Royals 4-2. Reason There's no mention of playoffs even on a World Champion's yearly team page. That shouldn't be, in my opinion. Priority High |
