No!

I prefer the no-DH games in ST because it's more pinch-hitting opportunities for the guys on the bench.  If I don't get at leat 20-25 players (or more) into a ST game, I've done something wrong.

I also tend to have the pitchers bat leadoff in non-DH ST games, just to hopefully create at least one more PH opportunity per game.

That's retarded.   Change your setting and you can gets 20+ without a pinch-hitter.  Or change your line-ups on occassion and everybody can play.  

2nd suggestion:   Make tec stop being retarded.   Thanks in advance.

This is a good suggestion, Mike. Let me check my list of Changes WIS Should Institute ... yes, here's a spot. Number 5,395. It's in. Right before, Ban all capital letters, esp. in red.

There should be two lists:

List 1:   Requests that will never happen due to difficulty implementing, programming or simply making the game far too complicated to be a viable product for the public.
List 2:   Simple stuff.

This should be somewhere near the top of list #2.

OK, I'm on board with that. Like with setting initial budgets, for veterans. More and more, it becomes a disincentive to pick up new teams when you know you'll have to wait 2-3 seasons to get things where you want them in training, medical and draft scouting. If you're eligible for Advanced Mode, you should be able to set your initial budget any way you want. Top of list #2.

It's thread-hijacking, but I'll agree with the initial budget for veterans.  The reason the +/- 4 setting is there is to prevent drastic changes from season to season.  But why force the starting point to be from 6-14MM?

I think that might open the door for alias abuse but it is a valid point.    I take a team and trade old guys/prospects immediately.  Old guys will decline too quickly and prospects won't develop physically with 14m in training.   There has to be a solution in there somewhere.

Right after making all ST games DH games regardless of park.

One request requires virtually no adjustment in programming(minor league rules for ST games).
One request requires some thought in order to avoid owners from going 20/0/20/0 over and over again.  With one username or several.

Thought was (1) only for owners with 10-plus seasons on their record, and (2) a one-time only event upon first entering a world. After that, the plus-minus 4m would apply. I don't see the abuse possibilities.

I see what you're doing, though. You're trying to slow-track it on List #1. DENIED!!

Owners with more than one user name can 20m an item, leave after one season and 0 it out under their other name while keeping ADV numbers for all players.  Only applies to public worlds but updates have to work everywhere.
