ORIGINAL: dneely Shaun: Here is my list for 2008, some of which were on my list for 2005 and 2007, but I'm nothing if not persistent! 1. GET RID OF the runner tagging up at 1st base and us being ask if we want him to try for 2nd. I say again, it NEVER happens in real baseball! Make sure we have this option with runners on 2nd and 3rd!! 2. 40 man roster call-up in Sept. 3. Online play vs another opponent, this feature would send PS through the roof! 4. More in-game managerial decisions. Squeeze, pick-off attempts, double steal, playing the corners in, run and hit play (no current game I am aware of has this feature!)suicide squeeze, odd or RARE plays, ejections, balks, Morganna running out on the field and kissing someone (showing my age) fan interference, an RJ fast ball killing a bird....stuff like that. 5. Enhanced closer and bullpen usage model. 6. ERA SPECIFIC XML files!!! 7. Enhanced and expanded PBP with a Toggle switch to turn it off for those who don't want it. 8. A Pitch-by-Pitch mode while managing your own teams games. DMB is the King when it comes to in-game managerial options and this is a biggie. BUT make sure you don't HAVE to play this way the entire game aka OOTP 2006. DO NOT add European, Latin, Russian or Chinese leagues to your game!!! Keep it simple and easy for those of us who are not very bright and DON'T get bogged down with minutia that no ones wants aka OOTP 2006 Thanks for listening. DNeely PS: MORE Mods from the community! I wish I could do that stuff but I sure love what we have now and what is still to come. ...Nitpicking here, but the tagup from first *does* occasionally occur. From Tuesday's M's vs O's game: ************************************** --------------------------- MIDDLE 6TH Bottom 6TH B:3 S:2 O:1 Melvin Mora flies out to center fielder Adam Jones. Bottom 6TH B:4 S:2 O:1 Miguel Tejada walks. Bottom 6TH B:0 S:1 O:2 Jeff Conine flies out to right fielder Ichiro Suzuki. Miguel Tejada to 2nd... ************************************** ...but it is admittedly a rarity, and to misquote a previous post: unless the right fielder falls down running deep to the corner to snag the fly ball, I *don't* want to be bothered to tell the baserunner to stay put. And to misquote yet another post in this thread, I do believe that there is an issue with never being asked to tag from third. I will be prompted to wave a runner *past* third on some plays, but I don't remeber ever being asked if I want a runner to tag from third. ***EDIT: Oops...just saw the other thread and someone already mentioned this play, and some discussion ensued about just how often the sim engine should ask us to advance from first to second. Sorry, should have kept reading... Also, I wasn't a good citizen and failed to add my wishlist: 1. Cleanup the XML file for readability. I think that there may be some utility there that I haven't either seen or deciphered correctly and may be missing out on. 2. Like above, era-dependant XML files. 3. Interface: While I like the overall feel, I think some functionality could be added here. Things like drag 'n drop, dropdown menus, and the previously mentioned "undo" button. 4. Ballpark templates. I my be missing something, but in the process of assigning stadiums to all of the teams in my league, if found the action of placing *all* of the play-by-play locations in *all* of the stadiums to be a lot of work. Since most of the ballpark photos that I'm using have the same general layout, it would have been helpful to have a template available to assign those custom locations to different photos.
