Custom Awards...

StyxNCa · 04-21-2008, 01:50 PM

I created a custom award for Manager of the Year but I could not find out how to manually drop anyone other than a player into that category, and the game doesn't recognize the award to put anyone in there either. So, how does it work?

I dont think you can unless you have a player manager.
Hoping Markus will give us more options with awards as it
makes the game more fun to see who won each award
every year.

True.

Here's a vote for this idea, anyway.

how about having the AI pick the "Most Popular Player" automatically?

Maybe I haven't seen the feature... I didn't know you could do custom awards???

I usually make the custom award a "team mvp" award for the team I am running. It helps me look back in the history and note which players of mine had the most standout years.

i've had that idea. having team-specific awards would be kick butt

I think it would be cool if a player's morale was affected by winning an award. Having morale affected by losing an award could be a bit complicated... But if Manny Ramirez wins the MVP, he may demand a lot more money if his contract is up the next year.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that.

If you manually select the awards, there is a slot for a custom award in addition to the usuals. I believe you can name this award in the league setup screen somewhere.

i would like the option where you could give points for each category a player finishes in the top ten. these would be his votes. Maybe like if pitcher is first in wins he gets 25 and the next one gets 24 on down through 10 players or something like that. And popular players or recent post season playersmight get an extra biased votesbut it should be optional. Like if the AI should be biased toward players on winning vs non winning teams. Of course we can do this on our own but it would be sweet and faster if the Markus could input these ideas at some point.

The problem with that system is a guy could win 27 games and be the obvious choice for cy young, while the guy in third might have won only 17 games but receives only two points less.

Yeah but you could give more or less points for each spot if you wanted. You could also look at this way a pitcher like Bob Welch may get some points for 27 wins but he might also have to finish in the top ten in other categorys like era, strikeouts, ip etc.
