I would like to see international free agency look a lot more like a hybrid of free agency and the draft, A specific point in which all of the IFAs "appear" (like the draft), and then a specific "bidding/signing period" (like free agency), after which IFAs insta-sign. In this scenario, I envision that scouting would affect the number seen and quality of projections for the IFAs, but once the "signing period" is over, all remaining IFAs would become visible to all teams who have budgeted anything for IFA scouting.

Nothing is likely to change. I started playing hoops dynasty a long time ago. It changed once I think I quit tried hbd it had changed a little then I quit for a few years and it was exactly the same when I came back.

That, my friend, is a very good idea

Thanks brother . I'm not holding out hope for it. Just my little pet idea.

New stadiums added, old ones rerated

More filters in players search. For ex: range 85, glove 85, vR 60, contact 50. 2 filters isnt enough. Also.. how about filters in draft.

I like that idea. Four filters would be a good number. It would add more criteria without cluttering the page.

By the way, Welcome to HBD, Sparkle. It's a great game. Hopefully you enjoy it. It needs new players.

I would like that not all 80+ players head to free agency. Maybe they all don't but I've never see one willing to stay.

Based on how old the code is and that none of the original developers are around you would be better rewriting the application than trying to re-work what they have. However, I doubt the owners are willing to make that type of investment. Besides...a new/updated/enhanced game likely wouldn't mean much in the way of revenue without significant marketing.

this

If I could filter my draft, I'd never miss on a single draft pick again.

It would be nice if at a minimum you could defensive and offensive ratings on the same page with the draft.

Seble just made some minor tweaks in GD recruiting. He's getting great feedback. I'm not a programmer but I hope HBD could receive similar treatment. I'd say the HBD community could focus on a list of a few items that aren't time sucks for Seble but would enhance the product. My initial thoughts -

More filters in free agency, added filters in draft.

Fix free agency so that 6 year minor leaguers that don't end up on 40 man always seek minor league deals in free agency instead of asking for millions. The logic - i wasn't good enough for my old teams 40 man but a new team is going to pay me $3 million - never made sense. But they could be valuable for others as bench players making minimum or 4A guys.

I would be happy with updated stadiums. I think that would be a good start and build some goodwill.
