More options that got left off the list...

11. Budget penalty for underachieving teams & budget bonus for winning. $10M more or less won't throw the game off balance, and it's kind of realistic, right?

12. Allow GMs to upload custom team logos. How much chaos could it really create... (Right?)

13. Fix the nonsensical formula for determining Gold Glove winners at catcher.

14. How can a 2B's arm strength not matter when turning a DP??? Check the stats; apparently in HBD, it doesn't...

15. Lower the threshold for votes needed to get players into the HOF. After all, this isn't like the real life HOF and we have to make shrines and exhibits for every inductee, and if a world wants to stuff more players in there, what's the harm?

16. ... please offer your suggestion, post below


Thanks & enjoy!

A little bit about Schmidt:

• Of all HBD worlds, Schmidt might have the deepest roster of skilled owners who have won 1 or several world series titles. This is a very good world for swapping strategies, polishing skills and testing your stuff against quality competition.

• With many skilled owners nurturing franchises for long periods, it's not surprising that Schmidt has several excellent dynasties. Still, there is good competitive parity in the world overall. For example, eight different franchises have won a World Series title in the last 16 seasons.

• Inexperienced owners are welcome. Our veteran owners have historically been very generous with advice and coaching, but we also recommend new owners refrain from trades for the first season as they learn the ropes.

• We have a minimum win requirement (MWR) to discourage tanking. Repeat: we in Schmidt loathe tanking. Fall below the threshold (120 wins over 2 seasons) and a 5-member committee reviews the case and recommends either dismissal or probation. That 120 win threshold for 2 seasons is generally pretty easy to meet, even if you're trying to exit a few veteran contracts and pursue prospects.

• Highest priorities are good humor and minimal drama.
