I was just telling you in case you've never gotten it.   IT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!!

Of course, I might have ruined the surprise.  Wanna know what you're getting for Christmas?

it's simply an economics issue.

i think this is a great purchase at $15 per season. yet, at $25 per season, i'm not certain that this is that good of a value considering outside the park is $40 for an infinite number of seasons (online, offline, in a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse.....)

I respect, somewhat(or at least in this thread), everyone's financial situation/decision but I honestly can't think of anything, except NCAA football for X360(because I'll play a million games before spring), that gives me the same entertainment value for less than $8 a month.    That's a couple of beers at a bar.    I don't even get a buzz from 2 beers.

Mike $8 per month is for one team  if you want 4 teams that is $32 per month which is $384 per year.

Unless they program the interface so that it can hypnotize my wife into thinking that HBD is good for our marriage, there is no change WiS can make that will convince me to buy a new team.

Yes, just over a dollar a day.  Most people put that in a vending machine or supersize their fast food meal with that.    Hell, I think a cig costs about a buck now.  All of those are much worse for you.

Mike's numbers arent even taking into consideration credits.  Unless you're always finishing 2nd.  I cant remember the last time I had to pay 24.95.

Mike, I think your initial suggestion is spot on. An "always play me" button for each player would take a lot of the headache out of managing the minors.

For me, I do 3/4 of my HBD from my iphone and its a huge hassle. If there were a good mobile app, I might grab another team. If there were an app and better sim management of my prospects, I'd probably grab another.

I don't buy things out of a vending machine often,  I never supersize and I quit smoking 10 years ago.

I don't do any of those things(FF is death in a bag and cigs are death rolled in paper) but I bet I can find something to cut back that would save me about $.25 per day.

Taco Bell tastes amazing and if I get 2 things off the value menu for lunch it fills me up and it costs me $2.50.  I may have done this today.  Yum.

1)      More variation in player development patterns

2)      Better minor league AI

3)      Better advertising/ new owner recruitment efforts.  In other words, I am resistant to adding teams and spending more time and money when I fear for the long term viability of the game.
