Some Additional Suggestions 2.0
#1
1. Once the trade deadline has passed Waivers has League Priority.

- This means, for example, the best team in the AL would win a waiver before ANY NL team would have priority if the waived player is from the AL.

2. Any trades or FA signings that come in Sept or Oct (after Sim 10) are ineligible for post-season play.

- This is how it is in real life and wouldn't be too hard to track since not many moves are made this late in the season anyway.

3. Ability to have Career Window to start for current season.

- This is one of the nuisances of Mogul and I've noticed it getting worse as we progress. I've seen some players not hitting their career window until 25 or 26 even though they're rated 80 overall. It makes no sense that they can be this far progressed in their development, have a rating that all would say in MLB ready, yet Mogul is still holding them back.

For those that might not know the Career Window usually starts at age 23. Ages 22 and 24 as the start are a little rare and going further away in either direction of 23 is even more rare. Players will usually see a +3 to each of their vitals (including health) and a +3 or +4 to their overall rating.

This is also why you see a player rated 80/84 at Spring Training and even though he has a July birthday, after ST he's peaked at 83 or 84. This is because he actually peaked after his last birthday but hadn't yet hit his Career Window. This is basically Mogul saying, he's peaked, but not ready for the majors. How does that make sense?

Since the average Career Window is supposed to be 23, I could see a difference in price if you're trying to make a player hit his window at 22 or younger. I do see this being less of a cost than winterball. In winterball you also have the ability to increase a player's peak (and further increase his value in the future). Whereas with speeding up his career window only affects his overall and the window is something every player will eventually hit.

This would need to be done after Spring Training so we can see which players had their ST jump. $5M for players 22 or under and $3M for players 23 or older would be my suggestion.

1. Teams are only allowed to back out if another team approves it, if you don't like any backing out then either there is no backing out, or its allowed.
2. doesn't that already happen?
3. already happens.
#3
1. Its a case by case thing. Either the FA system needs to be overhauled or you must allow backing out to some degree at the very least on compensated players.

2. I'd be fine with. Not really an issue or anything the way it is but would add ot the realism.

3. If we did that then I think we would then need to have playoff rosters as I think allowing anyone to becalled up during the playoffs pretty much goes hand in hand with this.

3. already happens.

2. No. There is no league priority currently, lowest record period has priority. This would add a lot of realism.

3. No it doesn't. Last season the Braves acquired Santos Rodriguez in September and played him in the playoffs.

There's loopholes in the system that allow prospects or players added to the roster after August 31 to be able to be added to the playoff roster. The easiest way being moving a player to the 60-Day DL, which opens a spot to ANY player in the system to be added to the playoff roster. However, any player signed or traded for after August 31 cannot be added to the playoff no matter the circumstances.

I am fine with 3, like I said about 1, and 2 then yes.
#6
This has never gotten any bad reception, but still didn't garner enough attention to get put in to action. Also I have included a new, 3rd, suggestion.

No I think these are good suggestions and open to all of them

Hey Matty I am a little confused about 3, still like 1 and 2 and would definitely have it be open for next season.

So for number 3, if an 80 peak player has a debut at age 23 but is ready at 21 are you suggesting that his debut date goes up a year so it would be to 22? Or is this talking about peak start?

No, this has nothing to do with Peak Start and End. It all has to do with Projected Debut (Career Window). Here's an example from my team. Chris McDaniel is still pre-Window, yet 24 and clearly rated good enough to be in the majors now. Yet Mogul is still holding him back. I would pay $3M to have his Projected Debut changed to 2024. And again, why I think this is a less of a cost than Winterball is because every player will hit their Career Window at some point, but there's a handful of players that Mogul just doesn't make sense when issuing these out.

I will also say, there is a fool proof way of checking to see if a player is in his window or not. If this gets passed, I would be willing to divulge how this is done, for those that don't know.
