Owner Goal Tools

[Bobfather]

Tools to complete owner goals. For instance, to raise attendance have promotions like bobblehead night. And also some clarity on the goals. For example. new off-season starts and my goal was to acquire a Cy Young winner, the following week my pitcher won ALCy Young, with no movement on goal so I traded for the current NL Cy Young, and I got the closest match. So I have 2 CY Young award winners and no credit for reaching the goal.

When shopping a player, being able to compare players from different teams.
When the AI is shopping a player it would be nice to know what they are looking for. This is besides the Make it Work option. Such as human teams can do.
On roster screens have an indicator for players in the Pipeline.

Please fix the foul balls being fair. I had one funny one the other day. The ball was fouled down the third base line. My first baseman ran across the diamond, fielded cleanly, and ran back to first for the force.

I have issues with the ambiguity of the goals as well. I created a post that I can't complete the homegrown/hometown player acquiring goal despite it being green all year. Maybe the assistant GM or something can recommend ways to complete the goal or something but it just ain't working as is.

My owner wants me to improve my left field position. I have 1920 Babe Ruth as my left fielder. I think I will turn off owner goals again.

See if the status changes if you put his position to LF (assuming it's not already). You can play him where you like, but it might be looking to the main position you set him as in order to clear the goal. Esp, if the game has him as two-way player and he sometimes flips to P as a position or RF (which is what he ought to be in 1920 based on historic play unless you flip him to LF as the primary spot) or even CF.

I thought about that and double-checked; I did change him to LF at the beginning of the season and the owner goal came out about 70 games into the season. Maybe the game is looking at something that did not get changed when I switched Ruth's primary position to LF.
