Also pleassssseeeee show which team the HOF bound are most associated with. At least a city name and league designation. Maybe an in game Cooperstown. You could browse all hall of famers here. Make it a bit different than the standard player cards. Maybe something like a real HOF plaque. In the case of a tie similar #'s and years with different teams (259 hr. with team A and 260 hr. with team B) The tie would go to the human controlled team.
Also maybe as a goof, while you are following players to the hall some silly info on what they are doing now like " Carl Yastrzemski is carving religous statues out of jell-o in Vatican City and has 92% of the votes needed this year".:D
That's not goofy at all. And it is quite disrespectful to the Jellosian monks of Bangladesh...
God! Everyone knows the Jellosian monks live on the snowy peaks of the mountians of Thailand. Jeeze!Quote:

I'm surprised after play strat-0-matic and OOTP for many years how little I miss choosing when to change pitchers or to call for the hit and run. I don't miss the left vs righty matchups at all. However, after having played a few seasons now, there is one thing that just has to be added in BM2007. It is so dissappointing to have my favorite player retire and then his screen disappear off the face of the earth. The only evidence that he ever existed was if he shows up on the all-time leader board and you can see his name if he happened to be in the top 10 in one of the categories. But then you cannot click on him and bring up his report, for it has been erased. Imagine not being able to look back and see what Willie Mays' batting average was in 1962, or how many homeruns Babe Ruth hit in 1929. Baseball is all about being able to look back and see the stats for any player in any year. I don't know if these records are deleted to save space on our hard drives or not, but to me I don't care.
I really think it would be a nice option to be able to save all retiered players scouting reports. Something less like saving the reports for leaders like HR, save, .avg, .ect.Quote:

I would like exact contract expiration dates. I hate signing a one year extension in July that is only a pay raise for the rest of the current year. Two year contracts are often more expensive than the one year variety and not a good idea in this game with a 40 year old.
The trick here is to not do that. Of course they'll take the pay raise this year.Quote:

What I mean is if I sign a player for 1 year in July I would like it to be a 1 year extension not just a pay raise. If a guy is having an off year I'd like to try and take advantage of that with a real 1 year extension not a 3 month pay cut or raise.
Inflation would be VERY easy to do. All we need is the inflation rate/CPI stuff, plus maybe baseball salaries changing themselves outside of inflation
After seeing it in another sim game, I would like to have the interactive play-by-play feature, it's better than I thought it would be. Please make sure it works right before releasing it though if it takes an extra version or two so be it.
I think that there are a few too many things to put in/fix to put interactive play-by-play in the game anytime soon. If 2k7 was more of a bug fix and improvement oriented version I'd be more than happy.Quote:

2 or 3 years sounds like a good timetable for this but there are better things for Mogul specifically to offer to attract a unique community instead of try to draw from one in wich it is already far behind in.
Yeah, lots of good ideas. I hope that Clay can tighten bbm up too before adding anything too radical. 2006 is quite a jump ahead in itself.
This is obviously something that to me would be a little add-on that wouldn't crush me by any means if it weren't there, but it would be cool... how about the potential of rain delays/rain outs? Could effect stuff like how far a pitcher could go in a game if he was all warmed up, pitched 2 innings, and then there was an hour rain delay. Also, the potential for a game to be rained out, and then have a double header later. Nothing I'd die without, but thought I'd toss it out there.
More ideas:
I think that you should talk to retiring players... they should announce whether they plan to retire and perhaps a good year will change their minds, maybe as the owner you can keep them around if you get them starting...
Plus, an ability to select what HOF are looking for. I think it needs more relievers. I had a guy with 650 saves or so and about 3 Cy Youngs, he didn't make it...
I want real HOF voting
plus random events such as bannings or porn/playbots shoots found out by the media
