I get so excited to open an IFA message. Then, inevitably, the kid is borderline paraplegic and wouldn’t even be a good Rookie ball player. It’s so anti-climactic that it probably literally is bad for my mental health. Can you at least make these, say, weekly messages with all of the prospects included for the week? Or, better yet, stop sending me messages about kids who aren’t, say, at least 58 overall

I put this in the same category as receiving a ridiculous trade offer from somebody. It's annoying, I know it will continue to happen, but I simply reject it and move on.

To me, the two worst things about HBD are:

1. owners that make themselves relevant by pestering other owners to try to convince them to trade their best players for way below their value. Then when the lopsided trade gets called out in world chat, they act as if the person calling out the BS trade is the one causing the Worrld drama (so in other words, the worst part of the game is dealing with people that lack even a inkling of thoughtfulness);

2. Injury recovery -- the guy you just signed to a 5 year contract goes down with shoulder surgery and is out for 150 + days. If he gets injured at the beginning of the season, he literally gets one injury recovery bump. If he goes down closer to the end of the season, he gets three or maybe four injury recovery bumps (1 in current season, one during roll and then one or two more if he is DL eligible the following season). Injury recovery should be based on medical budget, training budget, the players health rating and makeup rating. It should depend less on when the player was injured.

I stand corrected. Also, that tandem pitchers need to be last in your staff is, unless I’m missing something, extremely inept computer programming

Tandem is frustrating because you can't get 'set it and forget it'. I've been running a tandem in my SD team and I have to access my pitching waaaaay more then I normally would to make sure my rotation is set properly.

Coach hiring is only bad if you don't know the tricks. I personally love it because I love seeing people spending way too much money on guys worse then guys I will get on a budget.......... except in the minors. Those coaches I really don't care about because they cost money.

For IFA's it would be nice to set a minimum. 'Don't show me any IFA's that have below these values'. Only catch with that is then we will have people spending 20 million on IFA's and complaining that they never got any emails because they set their minimum values to all 80's across the board.

Maybe you still see the IFA's in the international prospects tab for development but you only get an email if guys are over the threshold you set?

I came back to this game after being away for nearly 10 years and it hasn't been updated hardly at all

That's sad

My favorite parts are coach hiring and spring training, after that I spend most of my time sending bad trade offers.

Someone get this man a shield.

I'd argue it's the owners with +.550 winning percentages targeting -.450 owners in trades.
