Beginnin of Season Setup Topic

It would be nice if there was a screen where you could drag and drop players onto the various rosters and see all of your starting lineups/pitching staffs before making the moves. I'm thinking the pain of setting all of your rosters at the start of a new season.

So...I'd have a pool of players on the right side (perhaps by position) with their current/proj ratings/stats displayed and then pools on the other side for each level where the players could then be dropped. When the GM is happy they could then click a button to finalize all of the moves.

Drag and Drop functionality in HBD is tricky because you are setting position and slot in the order. We have thought about some type of graphical interface to handle it and we are currently fleshing it out for the enormous SLB redesign project. In the future, if it works well and the community likes it, we can see if it can be ported to HBD.

Great suggestion, especially for users that maintain all levels of their franchises manually.

I was mostly talking about the season setup when you might have 12 guys at AAA, 12 at AA, 21 at Hi A, 25 at Lo A and 30 at RL. In order to do the promotions you've got to either do them from the bottom up or keep track separately of who is where because you can't complete a transaction if a roster is too small.

The in-season management would also be helped however as well.

Interesting concept here...

So if there is an "enormous SLB redesign project" on the horizon, I'd guess its probably a safe bet to say that we're years away from an "enormous HBD redesign project". Not surprising, but disappointing.
