Schedule requests again?

[Jordan]

Isn't there already interleague play? The schedule works itself out completely even over a 3 year period (Minus the 2 extra NL teams). Each team plays 2 interleague series against their rivals (NYY-NYM, LAA-LAD, MIN-MIL) and then 4 series against an opposite division, rotating each year. So the AL West played the NL Central this year, and they will play the NL West and NL East over the next two years.

Now, I can understand you letting teams set who their "rivals" are, as GMs may want to face off against eachother, but you can still only pick one team. And by changing these teams around each season, your leading to easy manipulation. The reason it works so well is because teams don't typically win 100 games a year for 10 straight years. There are peaks and valleys, which make the "rival series" pretty even over time. If you switch them up each year, sooner or later, teams will start sweeping those series each and every year, leading to previously mentioned manipulation.

Yes there is already interleague play - the point of this would be to change the matchups. And thats because mogul does NOT do the rival matchups for some reason, there is no NYY-NYM every season, or LAD-LAA, or HOU-TEX, CIN-CLE ect. The point of this would be to at least add in those series, and then I thought why not expand it and let ppl request series. BAL v PIT, NYY v HOU, NYM v KC ect.

i'd be up for each team picking a rival team to play each season except that there are more nl teams than al teams, meaning some teams will have 2 rivals (or none)

Yes, two NL teams every year get jipped of one inter-league series.
