Official Baseball Mogul 2012 Suggestions

[Merlin401]

Noticed a few things about run&hit mode so just a summary of base stealing improvements:

* If you hit & run or run & hit and get a basehit, the runner should pretty much automatically get to 3rd if it went to the outfield. Even speedsters sometimes only make it to second despite being running with the pitch.

* If you hit & run or run & hit and line out to the infield, it should be DP

* Base stealing success should be correlated to pitch speed. A 67 runner shouldn't be able to steal a base on a changeup.

how do you unretire players?

I never thought that was an option.

It's new in BB2K11. There's an 'Unretire' button at the bottom of the Scouting Report for retired players.

How will it happen. When you unretire someone like Javy Lopez or Nolan Ryan in 2010, where will they go? FA? or on their last team.

Really NEED pre-1900s support, at least until 1869.

Baseball-Reference doesn't even go back to 1869. 1871 is the earliest season it has and that's as the National Association until 1876 when the National League is first formed. Then there's a period where the American Association is a major league along with the National League and some other seasons where there's a random league (Player's League, Union Association).

Free agent list. This is basically a 'commissioner' tool, so you can just put the player where you want him after you 'unretire' him. It was also suggested by folks who got frustrated when a decent player retired at a young age. This button lets you restore these players to active duty if you want, since in BB2K10 there is no way to get someone out of retirement.

Thanks Clay. Can't wait for 2011.

If I had to pick three it would be:

1. Customizable playoff lengths and/or cutomize the # of teams to make the playoffs.
2. Option to turn off ball flight.
3. Customizable draft order.

I know, but I really need the Cubs full history for a dynasty-type thing, and they were founded in 1870, I only said 1869 because that was the first season of openly professional baseball, and it was only one year before what I actually need.
