1. All Star Festivities
So obviously we continue to do All Stars on this site, as has been done for 12 seasons now. I think it would be cool, if in the off-season, we were able to do some All-Star festivities. It wouldn’t be that much, just an All Star Game to start. That would, I think, be a lot of fun to watch, and also wouldn’t be super hard to do, from my vantage point.

2. Game Manager Tokens In Playoffs For Non-Subs
Am I biased on this? Yes. But I think this is absolutely essential. A lot of us free teams do awesome in the regular season, because we have Game Manager tokens to work with, and we work hard. But I think that no game manager tokens in the playoffs really makes all the grind pointless. While I understand that restricting game managing in the playoffs makes you want to subscribe, I think it’s worth pointing out that we have a sizable underage crowd here who don’t have credit cards and can’t spend their parents money on a fake baseball game. What we need is a middle ground of 2-3 tokens/day in playoffs. While it would still be very restrictive, it’d give a free team a fighting chance and also, imo, make the game more likable, and if you can keep these kids playing the game for a while, they’ll grow into adults with jobs and probably subscribe.

3. Save Career Stats For Retired Players
What I mean by this is that when a player retires, they no longer show up in the Career Stats section of statistics. It would be helpful, and much easier on people like me and WINNERS, if there was a page that had the all time leaders in the statistics, that would be extremely awesome. We’d likely be able to find more potential HOFers as well, since us 2 can’t, and probably won’t, be able to find every single potential HOFer. People slip through the cracks, but in this case it would be much harder for that to happen. Similarly, for some reason the number of career saves doesn’t show up for players, so I’d like to see that added.

4. Division of Stats Along Teams
Ok, that’s not a very good title for what I’m about to say, but it makes a lot more sense when I say it. So say, for example, Example Player spends part of the season with the Horned Frogs, another with the Awards Masters, and is then released. Under the current system, that stat line on his player page says he played for team Free Agent and recorded stats. However, I propose that we have the player card show his Horned Frogs and Awards Masters stats separately, sorta like what you would see on a Topps baseball card.

This is sort of like a Topps baseball card for a dude who was traded midseason, where it has his 2 teams and the stats for each team. Ya feel?


That’s it for today, feel free to comment, as always, this is meant to provoke discussion amongst the teams.
