]4 hour windows but what about the Euro guys? Their picks are due while they are sleeping. Not just 4 hour windows but specific times on specific dates so that GMs can plan. Yes, the European guys may be sleeping for some of the deadlines, but they will know a specific time and can plan- give a list; stay up late; wake up early. In practice, it may not be overnight when they pick anyway. The times are a deadline not a schedule. In most of our drafts, the 1st five picks are selected fairly quickly. As soon as the GM before you makes their pick (or misses their deadline) you can make a selection.

I would like to be able to name a team mvp. At the end of the season we could post who our MVP is and the commish would add the note to player history. This would be a pain in the ass for the commish so he would have to be on board. Nothing is a pain in the ass! I look for more to do. It deeply saddens me that ThisweekinPBL didn't take off like i hoped!

I think we just need to be more firm with the time limits.

I'm thinking right now we will:
Turn scouting on to 100% accuracy this year International scouting on attempt at creating some type of feeder league push the new stadiums that were introduced last year (I got a big thing on this and how it would work).

Regeneration of the schedule for 2028.
(ive started the season vs Los Angeles (Dodgers) and Pittsburgh 3 out of the last 4 years.) it reverts back to this default for whatever reason unless regenerated. AL teams do change tho.

I'm going to update all images for players / MLB teams and any missing minor league teams I see and redo an image folder as well.

To summarize quickly, a feeder league is a high school league and a college leaguue we would set up so you can 'scout' freshmen in HS all the way through their senior years then track how that same player does in college as well. It allows for a much more 'personal' draft class when your really looking forward to drafting someone as opposed to it just being computer generated.

It allows for a much more 'personal' draft class when your really looking forward to drafting someone as opposed to it just being computer generated. And by creating a feeder league.. You can get an idea of what kind of pool you will have in future years. Whether its hitter heavy or pitching heavy. The only downfalls in regards to feeder leagues we need to keep an eye on... Age limits. If a player doesnt sign but is over the age of the max college he wont play that season. 2 pitch pitchers... A lot of them are generated in feeder leagues. Which isnt a bad thing as Pbl is starving for relievers but it could be a problem at some point. Some players end up as FA's for whatever reason from feeder leagues... We should keep an eye on them and maybe turn it into some FA bidding process instead of the first or second team to offer a MLC gets him. College and HS seasons need to start at some point in February for them to be completed when we start drafting.
