Suggestion for Patch or Update

markus, could you please allow an option on the 'Team Colors, Logos and Uniforms' page or maybe the 'Options and Ballparks' page, to allow the affiliated minor league teams to use the same colors, jerseys, hats, etc of the parent major league team?

i like for the minor league teams to mimic the major league team's colors, jerseys, hats, etc, (but not the logos of course) and it takes quite a bit of time to set all of the minor league teams up in that fashion.

btw, i like the addition of the itsy-bitsy-small logo of the major league team included with the minor league team's logo. it makes it easy to remember which minor league team is affiliated with its parent major league team without having to perform an extra click or two for that info.

great game, let's keep improving it!

This idea doesn't work for me. I wonder how many people would use it. You can already do this just by copying the data into your minor league teams - probably about 10 minutes work. I'd rather have the time & space used for more important things.

And aren't suggestions supposed to be put in the Technical Support forum? You would have a better chance of getting your suggestion implemented if you put it there.

how is this done by copying the data into the minor league teams?

For the colors, either copy & paste the HTML codes individually or write them down on paper and do it all at once (there are only 7 of them).

For the Logos, just make smaller copies of them in a paint program and "save as" into your logos folder - then, import them into your new team (same for caps).

yeah, this is what i've done in the past, but it takes longer than 10 minutes, depending on how large the world/universe is. a large major league with several levels of minors can take hours to setup.

but really, a simple checkbox allowing for this wouldn't be all that difficult to incorporate into the game. when you're on this screen, the game already knows the ID of the major league team currently displayed, otherwise the settings/changes couldn't be saved into the db for the proper team. when the OK button is pressed, code it so that the game checks to see if this checkbox is checked. if it's checked, run a simple query to determine the minor league team IDs of the currently displayed major league team, and then input the current settings for this major league team for all of the affiliated minor league team IDs in the result set, minus the logos. if it's not checked, proceed as usual. just guessing, this would be require anywhere from 10-30 lines of code to produce. 30 minutes of coding time max.

even a simple export/import would work fine; the game allows for exports of this type of info, but unfortunately not for imports. but this would require more hours of time and more lines of code to get right than the option described above.
