It'd work like it does in real life. Each team can offer a player a contract, and the player mulls it over and signs with a team. CUrrently, the player in BBM can automatically sign any player as long as he's willing to pay the asking price. No competition, never turned down.
Are these going to be in the final versio?
Manager/coaches
3 way trades
injured but plays
more revenure ops
backloaded contracts
has an exact date been announced for when Baseball Mogul 2007 is released?
The only official date announced is "March 2006".
The first day of Spring is looking to be pretty close.

darn..I was hoping it would be released today! I'm itching to play it. this will be the 4th year in a row ive purchased baseball mogul and it gets better each year!
how much will Baseball Mogul 2007 cost? or should I say, when will the price be announced. I'm itchy to play!
Wow. If all of those features could be added into the game I would have absolutely nothing to live for because I'd have nothing to complain about.
Top features I think should be added:
Waiver Wire
Manajer Singings/Firings
But I think the most important thing of all is No Immediate Free Agent signinggs. And they shouldnt always sign with whoever offers them the most money, their should be factors like hometown, etc. Mogul would be an improved and much more challenging game if I couldnt just sign every chap in the neighborhood.
i don't think i seen it on here and maybe too late this year too add it but how about voting for the hall of fame instead of the computer automaticly putting them in.i think it would be cool too vote or deny a player on how you feel about their career specially if rumors about drugs gambling steroids and all.
The new Out of the Park Basebell version 7 will have all these features!
Hey, I have been a fan of the previous versions, and want to say that I appreciate how much Clay updates his game to fix bugs and corrections. I think a lot of people have become spoiled by this, as with your major companies like EA or Take 2 it will take them months to work on an update. I will wait until the first patch comes out to purchase the game, but regarding the features listed in the poll, I believe they all should be included in this version, or at the very least next year's. Unfortunately, because the game is so good, you have to try and keep pushing that bar up, or people might convert to OOTP users. I applaud your work Clay and wish you the best of luck!

While I am just fooling w/ you, do try to support a general comment like that with some details- especially for those of us that haven't used OOTP before
I don't know a lot about the new OOTP, mostly because it isn't out yet. But unless anything has changed from the last time I saw a feature list, there are at least 15 items in the poll that won't be in the new OOTP. (Of course it's possible that my definition of a feature is different from yours, but I do know for example that they are cutting back on a lot of financial features this year in favor of rebuilding the game from scratch).Originally Posted by mgsports
So, I guess you're being sarcastic. Unless of course you're assuming that since Sega just bought them they'll throw 10 more programmers at the project, push it back a year, and then have a ton more features.

So, how many of these are being implemented in BM 2007?Originally Posted by Clay Dreslough
Could the stat "shutouts" possibly be added in a future upgrade of version 2007?
