Field of Dreams game and more

Started by banditelvis721 (joined · 118 posts · 195 karma) , ago

Is there a way to check when that game is scheduled to be played??

i have a great idea, again not sure if it can be done, maybe do a calendar of events list, like an example, Opening Day(date), All Star Game(date), Field of Dreams Game(date and teams), Trading Deadline(date), end of season(date), Playoffs(date) , World Series(date)!

Just a thought i think it will be great!

also is there a trade option?? it would be cool, if me or other owners can go in and offer trades to other teams in the league.

Hey, thanks for the ideas!

Field of Dreams game: Yes, you can check it. If it's turned on for your season, open your team's Schedule page. A Field of Dreams box at the top shows both teams, the date and the location. Its "Show this game" button jumps the calendar to that game. Auto-Sim and Sim Week will also stop and ask before simming it, so you won't miss it by accident.

Calendar of events: There's no events list yet, but I like the idea. A few questions so I can get it right:

Where would you want to see it? On the Schedule page, on the season's main page or on a page of its own?

Should each event link somewhere, like the All-Star Game box score or the playoff bracket?

Should it show only what's coming up, or the whole season so you can look back at what already happened?

Are there other events you'd want on it, like award announcements or milestones?

Trades: Not yet. In seasons based on real years, players move between teams on the dates their real trades happened, but owners can't make their own trades. Some questions on this one too:

Which seasons would you want trades in? Draft Season leagues with friends, your own seasons against CPU teams or both?

Should CPU teams be able to accept or turn down your offers? Should they make offers of their own?

In a league with friends, would you want a commissioner who can approve or veto trades?

Should owners be able to send counteroffers, or only accept or decline?

Should there be a trade deadline that stops all trades after a certain date?

Would you want to trade with CPU-run teams in a league with friends, or only with other owners?

Let me know what you think!

ok here we go and thank you for taking my input

Seasons Main Page and also maybe a page of it own too!

Should each event link somewhere, like the All-Star Game box score or the playoff bracket?
Yes for sure!

Should it show only what's coming up, or the whole season so you can look back at what already happened?
Whole Season

Are there other events you'd want on it, like award announcements or milestones?
Hmmm yeah maybe award announcement would be great!, cant think of anything else right now

Trades: Not yet. In seasons based on real years, players move between teams on the dates their real trades happened, but owners can't make their own trades. Some questions on this one too:

Which seasons would you want trades in? Draft Season leagues with friends, your own seasons against CPU teams or both? Draft Season with friends is all i care about that is my league

Should CPU teams be able to accept or turn down your offers? Should they make offers of their own?
once my season officially starts in april, there will be no cpu teams.

In a league with friends, would you want a commissioner who can approve or veto trades?
Yes

Should owners be able to send counteroffers, or only accept or decline?
Counter offers yes

Should there be a trade deadline that stops all trades after a certain date?
yes

Would you want to trade with CPU-run teams in a league with friends, or only with other owners?
Only with owners since i will have no cpu teams.

Thank you hope this helps!

Thanks man. I think still allowing cpu trades is good and I'll probably incorporate that. But if your league only has human teams, then you don't have to worry about it. So, those questions involving cpu trades probably don't apply. Or we could have them optionally on or off as the season either starts or is on-going.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I'll probably work on adding these as feature requests so that we have them for near future work.

Of course, man. This is helping me out too especially since I normally would not be interested in the draft section, so it helps to have a subject matter expect on it 😊
