yeah I always have the same problem. I see I have a fairly good replacement who has the IF tag with a 78++ rating, but I auto sort and when I look it replaced the injured guy with a 2B with a 68+ rating.Quote:

Yeah that would be nice, but i mean you would have to give it a baseball touch though.Quote:

Knowing how a player has performed over his last 10 games for position players and last 5-10 appearances for pitchers would be great.
i'd like to see invidiual player strategies, instead of setting strategies for the whole team. for example, i have a speedy player. bbm now will make him steal more often than a non-speedy player, but if i want him to steal A LOT more, i'd have to move the steal strategy slider up, but this also risks me attempting steals with non-fast players and getting them caught. i'd like to individually set strategies. say, i want the fast player to steal a lot more, and then i'd set my slow players to steal VERY little. OOTP has something like this. It'd be a good addition toBBM
ooo...I like that. Sounds good.Quote:
