As for the additional modifiers, I'm not sure on that. Will try to mention it to Markus and see what he says. Last edited by Lukas Berger; 03-03-2014 at 08:38 PM. |

Just thought of a few things for the *** and I hope it's in 15.
There is no disabled list. Teams can freely swap players between ichi-gun and ni-gun as often as they wish, no matter how much service time a player has. This comes in handy when a team has more than 4 foreign players on a team (only 4 can be on the ichi-gun roster at a time). They can send down a foreigner that started the previous game and call up another one for the next game. All that matters is the player must be on the 70 man roster. I don't know if the subject of ikusei players has come up. An ikusei player is signed, but not to the 70 man roster. The following rules apply: *Teams with more than 65 players on the 70 man roster are allowed to sign ikuei players *Ikusei players are only allowed to participate in Ni-gun games and only 5 players per team are allowed to play *Ikusei players may change status to a contracted player by end of July, but foreign players over the age of 26 are only allowed to transfer by the end of March *Ikusei players will wear a three-digit number and if the status changes, the player also needs to change its number to a one or two-digit number (example pic is an ikusei player) *Ikusei players may be included in trades until the end of July Speaking of uniform numbers, no two players in a organization (all levels included) will have the same uniform number. Draft: Teams do not have to select every round. Here's last year as an example: Nippon-Ham 8 players signed, Orix 8, Softbank 4, Chiba Lotte 6, Seibu 7, Rakuten 9, Yakult 6, Yokohama 6, Chunichi 6, Hiroshima 5, Hanshin 6, Yomiuri 5. These do not include players signed to ikusei contracts. Last edited by ToLucky1985; 03-11-2014 at 03:28 PM. |

Rule 'sets' are a more practical way of allowing roster/transaction rule customization by packaging together rules which, in real life, operated together. That reduces the amount of work involved and makes testing easier, particularly since the combinations reflect real-life and thus AI moves can be checked against real-world data. |

Questions for anyone:
1) What do you think will happen to the Serie Nacional if/when the US embargo is lifted? 2) How would you simulate that in OOTP? I'd like to create a scenario where the embargo is lifted in 2016 or so, every player in Cuba is declared a free agent, and the US leagues are suddenly hit with a wave of talent. Maybe a new Cuban league forms along the lines of the VSL/DSL. But I'm not sure if that's realistic, or how I'd do it. |

If OOTP goes down the road of rule sets then they would, in my opinion, have to be editable (XML files is the obvious way to do it), although my guess is that that seem to would defeat the purpose of them as a concept. |

Now, there are probably some specific rules that can be made selectable items on their own. Adjusting the number of years needed for free agency, for example, or the years required for arbitration, or adding NFL-style franchise player designations. But others, I would say, are more too 'specific' to function as stand-alone items and thus work together better as a package. Speaking just of MLB alone, there can easily be anywhere from five to ten rule sets to cover its history, depending on how precise one wants to break the different roster/transaction rule periods down. Ten rule sets (plus the ability to do some tinkering with specific rules) sounds like a lot of choice to me. |

Yeah, I get that, but personally, I just don't think that's realistically possible. (It's tough enough just getting Markus to consider the transaction/roster rules subject as something worthy of more detail, particularly as it pertains to the past rules.)

I find in my leagues that there are a ton of 1 star MLB vets that end up as Free Agents who never get resigned and or maybe end up in the minors. I would love to see these vets take their skills to an International League and tear it up adding some extra stats and years to their career.
If Markus can make it so these lower level vets that can't get an MLB gig will try out the International League for a few years that is AWESOME! |
