Managers & GMs
• allow GMs to hire coaches and not have ratings affect the game
• add more coaches; 1st base, 3rd base, bullpen coach
o these don’t necessarily need to have special ratings
o it can be a place to put recently retired player or a team’s favorite players, and if they develop coaching skills they can get a promotion
• have coaches and managers’ names included in news reports, play-by-play
• AI Managers should value players differently.
o This would allow us to create different Managers
o Used when manager fills out his roster.
o Use existing sliders.
- Favor Defense or Offense
- Favor Speed or Power
- Favor OBP or AVG
o Allow sliders to be set up for each position (C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF)
o For pitchers, add new sliders
- Make separate sliders for (SP, MR, CL)
- Give level (1-5) of importance of major ratings
- Stuff
- Movement
- Control
- Velocity
- Stamina
- GB%
o When viewing draft pools, free agent lists, rule 5 lists, players should be listed (in game) based on slider set up. This also, makes the sliders useful for human managers.
• AI GMs should value players differently.
o This would allow us to create different GMs.
o Use the existing sliders
- Favor Veterans or Prospects
- Favor Pitching or Hitting
o Add new sliders
- Favor Best Available Player or Player at Needed Position
- Favor College or High School
o Used for making trades.
o Used in conjunction with Manager for drafting. Again, this makes the sliders useful for human GMs; especially in online leagues.
