More Weekend Feedback
Fun weekend playing around, and I know it's still a beta, so here my initial criticisms:
-Lack of auction search options is painful, really painful -Future legends should be toned down or removed entirely. Some are rated so high it defies reason. -No injuries + DH is encouraging some bad things, like carrying 15 pitchers. -Anything less than bronze feels useless by the end of day 1. It makes casually opening packs feel bad fast. -Once you're upgrading your team to silver cards, the repetition of cards on auction feels like there simply aren't enough options available, at least at some positions. When I look at other top teams, there's already a ton of duplication. Seems like you need more cards. -Everyone putting their max bid in with 10 seconds left feels cheesy -being forced to download new files, right as an auction is ending feels horrible Last edited by ike121212; 11-04-2018 at 10:03 PM. |

What's wrong with carrying 15 pitchers? There are some MLB teams that will probably consider this. We've gotten close with teams carrying 13 (to my knowledge I don't know one that carries more). And to your point on bidding in the last 10 seconds. That's just how auctions go in all games

No. It’s not. Time gets extended in some.

Interesting, I would've thought less pitchers given no injuries... 5 starters and 5-6 in the pen leaves lots of situational pinch hitting/running.
Guess it depends on how you want to play the game, a bit like real baseball.

It'll be interesting to see how people feel in a couple days. I think the leaders will either be using 'extreme' strategies or have stacked teams.

This. I have been considering going with 11 pitchers to get more offensive flexibility.

one suggestion I would have, as I think this would be nice feature to have, tho maybe it would require too much overhead to configure
it would be cool to receive an email (perhaps on a daily basis? perhaps weekly? or maybe every 20 games?) reporting the results and stats of the previous period, as well as the standings this would be an "opt in" option of course, as I am sure there are many ppl who don't need the extra "spam" in their inboxes |

I've been doing that for a while. Works since I have 5 good starters who can pitch deep into most games. When I was carrying 12 pitchers, the ai wasn't even using the 12th guy for weeks at a time anyway.

Hope the bullpen size point doesn't distract from my other points. Absence of key filters is a big deal, and I still feel the number of silver cards is lacking. Too many of the same guys popping up consistently in auctions, and on my opponents roster. |

Is there any way we could get an option to submit a lineup change effective at some time in the future? Like let’s say you want to bring up a reliever and reserve an OF, but not until May 4 in the game and that happens to be at 3:30 AM in real life.

I don't think we need more cards, since we want it to be at least theoretically possible for someone to collect all of them, or at least all of a certain type. And no matter how many cards we have, there will be duplicates. It's unavoidable.

3000 is not an impressive number. More so when you consider that low bronze and below are effectively useless. I hope you haven't miscalculated how quickly everyone is going to incrementally improve their roster to high silver and above, even with no cash shop. How many of those 3000 are 75+? In my first 3 series, I'm going to face Carlos Carrasco 3 times. I'm going to face him on back to back days. He's a platinum card. With no cash shop, he should be extremely rare.

Um. I beg to differ.
You will always have duplicates, even if we had 10,000 cards. I think 3000 is a good number for both variety and the possibility for collectors to actually complete the collection.
