Hey everybody,



Here are some suggestions that could improve this already awesome game !



1) As discussed in "help", the addition of a waiver wire would be genius. Now, I can imagine that implementing this into the game might be tough, but it s a feature that no sports simulation should lack (tho most do anyway).



2) I really like Casey, the mascot, but how about giving this Webiste, or at least the player-profiles a "second face" that displays a pichter? Like having a picture of a player with a glove and a ball in his hands as the portrait for pitchers.



What do you guys thing about these suggestions? Let me know!

1. What would the advantage of the waiver wire be over free agency? Please note, one of the things we're trying to prevent is people dumping top talent right before the end of the season and giving opportunistic managers an unfair advantage in the stretch run and the playoffs.



2. I have been actively looking for a way to improve on the player images…but my art skills are limited. At a minimum, I would like a pitcher version and perhaps one representing a manager.



Thanks for the suggestions,



Steve

1.) Well the advantages of a waiver wire would be as follows:



- You could only pro- and demote a player from and to the minors for a certain number of times (aka options). After that he has to "clear waivers" in order to do either thing.

- The teams with the lowest records in their respective division/league get preference on picking up the waived players, which CAN prevent playoff bound teams from getting "stronger"



Now, these are the "official" mlb waiver rules. FOr this game it might be a legit option to customize these rules, e.g.



"A player that was put on waivers is only available for the 3 teams with the worst record within the division. If no one puts a claim on them within a certain period of time, the player becomes avaible for the 3 teams with the worst record in other division at the same level. If then again he is not claimed, he becomes available globally, meaning that every team in the game can sign him"



If you seriously considered putting this in the game, I could help you thinking of some specified rules (only if you want me to, of cours!)



2.) I m not an artist myself, but I could give it a try, if you wanted me to.



I love the game of baseball, therefore I will lend a hand wherever I can to help building a simulation of the game of legends ;)
