Long time player, first time poster. Here are a few things I'd like to see in the next version:
- I wish player personalities showed themselves through signing players. Greedy players would sign with any team that offered a lot of money, older players would take a little less to play on a playoff team, etc.
- When offering a contract in the promised role you could put Backup, Utility Infielder, RH/LH Platoon, Bullpen. I'll sign a vertan to a small contract and they keep emailing me about starting them. This kind of plays to the 1st point, a free agent could be considering 2 similar contracts but one is for a starting spot and one is for a backup, they'd probably take the starting role.
- A way to track a teams 'Reputation', which would include if you keep promised roles, if fans show up, if your winning games, and your player's morale. Would affect how free agents perceive your club.
- A way to track free agents without submitting them a contract. Sometimes I see guys i'd be interested in sign for peanuts and i would have offered them a better contract if i knew. Maybe the option to mark the guy as 'Interested' and if they don't get an amazing offer they send you an email alert that says they'll sign for more money, an extra year or a starting job
- Financials seemed a little off, I know you can adjust the money amount in the settings but sometimes I'll see a 30 year old backup free agent sign a 6 year/3 million dollar contract and i don't think that would happen in real life. I think guys should be more willing to settle for a large one or two year deal then a long cheap deal
- When I sim games i notice that Lefty Specialists hardly get used by the computer, even when their secondary role is middle reliever or long relief
- Also would like to see Righty Specialist be one of the 2nd options when setting up your bullpen with a right hander, as it is now you have to set it as your primary role. Like I said before guys don't usually get a lot of innings set up primarily as a specialist.
- When you 'Shop Player Around' it would be nice if you could set the kind of trade you would want to make, example: 'For Prospects' or 'For Major Leaguers'
- Ability to set up an email alert when someone interesting gets DFA (maybe a guy with more then 2 stars or a certain overall rating)
- Set aside international spending in your budget! Kind of like how the AI sets aside a certain amount for the amateur draft. I usually run small market teams and i hate not having enough money left over to spend on these guys even though i'm making tons of money in revenue.
- When you get an email involving a trade or a player it would be nice to see all the players involved and their basic ratings and stats right in the email. I play on 1080p and there's a ton of white space at the bottom of every email, would be nice to throw in more info on the players involved
- A feature I would LOVE to see is a way to compare the production your getting at every position compared to the rest of the league. If your using a platoon it can be hard to get a handle on how well it's doing and it would help at the trade deadline knowing you have a great team but your 15th in OPS at a certain position. Would also show all the players that have played that position and the numbers they've put up
- This might be a little 'game breaking' but it would be neat to see projected stats based on player ratings, and you could adjust the plate appearances as a starter or as a platoon batter. Sometimes it's tough to figure out how guys with different skill sets compare to each other.
- Is there a way for an owner to sell a team or step down? Just seems kind of depressing hoping a penny pincher owner dies.
- This might be a little pie-in-the-sky but since I usually manage MLB teams it would be nice to have a screen for your top 15 or 20 prospects and options for where you want them to bat or what postion you want them to play. I have the computer manage the minor leagues but it would be cool to be able to set up your top prospects. Maybe a way to say what they need to work on to make it to the big league club, like work on control or improve their eye. Then when they develop they're more like to improve in those areas. I had a top prospect with a live arm but there's no way i'm promoting him when he has a 1 at current control.
Sorry i just realized this wasn't very quick and dirty
