Reason

Each box score should be unique, not recycled!

Priority
HIGH

NM...I was confused

Suggestion
Display graphic-type reports


Reason
It would be helpful (and fun) to see text reports translated into graphical form. Example 1: a graph that shows a team's ERA over the course of the season. Example 2: a graph that shows a team's winning percentage during the history of a league. Example 3: a graph that shows a batter's VORP over the course of his career.

Suggestion
Add a lineups report with stats

1. To display the team's most common lineup.
2. To display all of the different lineups (from most-common to least-common).
3. To determine the success of each lineup by comparing the W-L, BA, SLG, etc., of each.

Reason

These reports could factor into a manager's strategy. But I think they'd be used out of curiosity, more than anything else.

or naming it game_box_yyyymmddHHMM_hometeam_awayteam.html

(so uniqueness would only be violated if the two teams played more than one game at the same time)

Suggestion

Highlight "my" players (i.e., the players on the team I manage) on the league statistics pages.

Reason

To make it MUCH easier to locate "my" players on these lists.

Apologies if these already exist...the listings have gotten so large, it's hard to find whether items were already suggested.

Suggestion
Fix display of "undefined" stats. Two examples:
1. ERA when no outs recorded. A pitcher who allows earned runs without registering an out will have an ERA displayed as "0.00". Technically, his ERA is undefined. The problem with 0.00 is, aside from being inaccurate, that when sorting by ERA this pitcher will appear with the best pitchers, not the worst.
2. Some Sabremetric stats like TAVG and RC/27 can show funky characters for players who are seldom used. For example, a player gets to bat only once and gets a hit. Both TAVG and RC/27 are undefined, as the denominator of these statistics is 0 (due to AB - hits). In OOTP this shows up as 1.#IO and 1.#J.

Rationale
Cleaner reports.

Priority
Medium to high for the ERA part; low to medium for the rest.

Suggestion
Update the home page during the post-season to include a special playoff section (maybe with a cool post-season at the top.) For each match-up in each round in the area, show the two teams plus logos and the picture of the match-ups best player of the year, and later, post-season. Show the current status and upcoming match-ups. Once the series completes. Show the final record and stats of the top performer. Maybe even a recap blurb. This section goes away when the next season turns over.

Reason
When the playoffs come, there's little to see to know your in the playoffs other than the match-up bracket in the standings and the daily match-ups on Scores and schedule. Once they're done, the Champions page is a nice touch, but this can help add some interest during the post-season. This adds some pizazz to the game experience, much in the way ESPN and other sports sites change their look when the post-season starts. It's what we play out season out for, lets spotlight it.

Suggestion
When player is traded in mid-season, in the player profile, have the team he played with in the beginning on the season listed first, and the new team listed second.

Reason
Currently, the team who the player has played the most games with is listed first looking like this if the player has played more games with NY:

2009 Detroit
2010 Detroit
2011 New York
2011 Detroit
2011 Total
2012 New York
...

I think this would be better and easier to read if it listed it as this:

2009 Detroit
2010 Detroit
2011 Detroit
2011 New York
2011 Total
2012 New York

Suggestion:

The team home page should display every player on the active roster, not just the pitching staff and starting lineups. In addition it should also display key statistics like age,ab,ave/obp/slg not just ave/hr/rbi and for pitchers k/bb,whip,k/9,hr/9,bb/9,IP!!! not just W/L/SV/ERA. The overall/star rating should also be displayed.

Reason:

This is mostly important for online leagues where you want to quickly get information on teams. Currently you have to look through several different reports to get a feel for the roster of a team when you should be able to gauge a roster all in one screen. OOTP 6 was much better in this regard.

Priority:

High (Since space shouldn't be an issue and it would be easy to accomplish)

[DesertFox07]

Suggestion: Add the ability to limit the Top Prospects and Top Systems reports to just one level of minors.

Reason: It's nice to see all the top prospects, but sometimes you only want to judge prospects for a certain level or the minors. This options gives you that choice.

Priority: Low

Suggestion: Spring Training (ST) needs a single page in the reports, with standings and basic leader-boards. If not a separate page, how about including Spring training info on the regular league front page as ST is played, then replace it with regular season results on opening day.

Reasons: This would make the game more fun to play.

Priority: High.

Your logic is impeccable!
