When trading it would be nice to have the option to trade more than 3 players to avoid 2-3 separate deals for a Star player making it look weird this people vetoing part of the 2-3 part deal... also being able to trade draft picks for the season you are currently in would be cool, you could make a private world rule where players who have not been in the league prior to that season cannot trade their picks

+1. While I don't mind having to deal with three separate trades as im trading, Jbugg is right -- it would make it easier on the other owners reviewing the trade for potential veto.

Oh. I just thought of an easy one. On the advanced standings page, after the wildcard race comes up in the standings I would love to see a teams ‘magic number’ so for Divisions it would be the team in the lead how many wins / other team in division losses you need to win the division.

for the wildcard standings it would say number of wins / opponent losses to clinch a wildcard spot.

+1 i always try and manually calculate but would be nice to just be there lol.

Here is one I have always wanted: a template setting. Every season when I enter Spring Training, I'd rather just be able to have a setting in my user profile for "Spring Training starter" and another for "Spring Training Reliever." So, rather than me changing the settings of 20 guys manually and then change them again in 6 days, I could just change them all.

Coach Hiring - It'd be great if selecting the "Negotiations" page showed you guys you were currently negotiating with and not, say the guys who came back during the coach rehiring phase a few days prior.

+1.

I always forget about this but every coach hiring season it always frustrates me.

Mentioned before, but as it came up again.... Big quality of life issue here (to me, anyway) -- PLEASE can we have a pitch count override to keep pitchers in the game when they have no-hitters going? Just had one pulled with ONE OUT TO GO FFS!!! https://www.whatifsports.com/hbd/Pages/Popups/Boxscore.aspx?gid=110885268&tab=box&mode=classic

Don't have time to go through 20 pages to see if this has been mentioned (and if it has been mentioned I'd like to throw another vote of support behind it), but:

Seeing ALL available draft prospects that my scouts should have access to and not just the top 500 would be nice. Every once in a while there are really valuable guys under with 50 OVR ratings worth drafting early but that you can't see if you have high HS and COL draft budgets.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but it would be great if you could set parameters you are looking for on pages like the trade block and rule 5/amateur draft pages like you can on the free agents list.

So, for example, if you are looking for a strong defensive 2b in the rule 5, you can set it to look only for position players with glove and range over 85.

Friend suggested this to me, but what about another tab on a players screen that shows your initial scouting projection of him?

You can theoretically keep all projections in a spreadsheet or whatever, but it would be much easier to have them right there. It makes sense in theory, because MLB teams probably keep initial scouting reports of guys.

I use the notes field for this. After the draft I go back to my prospects screen and pull the pre-draft projections. Or for IFAs I'll take notes.

Please place an optional hiring priority on coach hirings. If I have a clear number 1 fielding coach targeted, but get outbid during the day 2 PM2 cycle, and lose my guy, that's fine. However, I should be able to choose the guy who is next in line.

Also, often times I'll offer contracts to the top three coaches, but since there is no choose-able priority and the system isn't smart enough to understand that my #1 priority is the hitting coach with the highest hitting IQ, I am forced to make a decision to withdraw the offers to my #2 and #3 choices. This may result in not getting my #1, #2, or #3 guy because I withdrew offers to the #2 and #3 guys in order avoid the sim from choosing them over my #1 guy even though I had the best offer on my #1 guy.

It would be nice to alleviate the above issues by having an optional priority drop-down of 1, 2 or 3. Too many times has the sim signed my #2 or #3 candidate despite me having the highest offer on the best hitting coach in the class.

Genius - I’m going to try doing this. Thanks!

Implementation of 26-man active roster and possible discussion of adding $ to the overall budget in order.

For instance, maybe make the overall team budget an even $200MM and up the minimum of MLB players to $565,000.

Oh. I totally forgot. The HBD censor needs an update. I get why it was put in place but it’s odd that it edits out sophomore and if have a player named somthing like Dizzy Assguard then the last name will be censored out.
