Franchise ideas

[RRsports3]

-Players retiring and coming back as coaches.

-Being able ot select a team captain (would affect team chemistry)

-Player/coach personalities (would affect team chemistry and how likely player was to argue calls/charge mound)

-Being able to create a new stadium for your franchise/change team name and/or uniforms

-Being able to fire your coaches during the season

-having the ability to sign another teams batting/hitting/base coaches as your head coach at any time without them having to be fired by their current team or having their contract expire.

-being able to have a player-coach. It does happen in baseball once in a while. (last one was pete rose)

-being able to call up a rookie right after the draft if you want.

-international players should be able to be signed at any time not during the draft/ that's not realistic. You should be able to sign them as young as 16 years old.

-Game should say all coaches names. I hired Don Mattingly as my coach for the yankees and every time he goes out to pull a pitcher it says "the yankees manager" instead of his name.

-being able to create a coach (manager,batting,pitching or base)just in case the game leaves a couple out like it did this year. (name database would apply just like when creating a player)



******Also, I think it would be pretty cool if we had the option to download pictures to our game systems to replace the player photos that are in the game. For example, if you trade for a player from another team, that player shows up on your team wearing his old teams uniform in his photo.

This option would allow you to download a picture of that player online (maybe from the teams official site, ESPN or MLB.com) in his new teams uniform, or you could photoshop a picture and then load it to the game. You should aslo be able to do this for any created players and coaches. I think this would be pretty awesome. I'm tired of the cartoon face pictures and having players on my roster wearing the wrong uniforms in their pictures.

Do you play football/worldwide soccer manager...?

I think some sort of team chemistry would be cool. Could affect which free agents to sign or could affect your team if you trade certain guys away.

Yeah, i like your idea. Might think twice about trading some people. This is a good one.

I don't. How come you bring it up? Which features that I mentioned are in there?

All of them except changing team names/jerseys in game (you can edit them behind the scenes). And the team captain selection and player morale system where pretty much anything that happens affects team and individual morale are very important parts of the game.

International players can only be signed after July 2 in real life. I think the international signings should be done in July or August. The game does allow you to scout International players for the Amateur draft, but in the future it should list their country of origin.

I agree. I think the game should be as real to life as possible, so if in real life you can only sign international players after july 2, that's how it should be in the game. I also agree with listing their county of orign and I think that most foreign players should come from latin America since that's where the majority of them get signed from in real life.
