Roster Management Wishes
-
As a offline franchine player. I've hoped for the following amd will continue to hope for this year.
Rehab assignments after DL stint. Shouldn't go against options.
Expand spring training roster past the 40 main. This would allow the double headers to actually be in the schedule.
Better minor leaguer development. Fake drafted players Shouldn't be in mlb within a year jumping over your current real minor leaguers.
Edit players gear for home vs away vs alternate.
-
I would LOVE all of these. And to have NRI players. Give us the ability to draft ACTUAL players, a la NBA 2K or Madden--you know, create a draft class. Or at the very least, give us the ability to edit said players before drafting them.
Stop putting MLB players that are DFA'd on Rule 5 draft teams, or when the Rule 5 comes up, give us the ability to protect the DFA'd players.
Assistant coaches. Give us the ability to edit. At least the names, if not the looks. Also their badges/attributes. Make some more real legendary managers--23 had Sparky Anderson, Earl Weaver, Tony La Russa, Don Zimmer, Tommy LaSorda...idk but I think Jim Leyland and Connie Mack and Lou Piniella, etc. Or at least give us the ability to edit names.
Expanded Assistant coaches--Bench coach, assistant hitting/pitching coaches, bullpen coach, etc.
-
And for the record, I understand coaches and players opting out. That's fine. But for those that do, give us the option to edit the generic ones
-
Another thought. Off sesson development plans. Perhaps during season you build credits you can use for off season tasks like, stretching out a reliever to convert to a starter. Adding new pitches. Switching a position player to a new position.

Not sure if you consider this roster management but I wish they would go back to having the ability to buy (with stubs) a higher team budget. You could pick a smaller market team and improve the budget. Or some larger market teams who currently had smaller budgets (Boston and Washington for example) could have their budgets raised in the game.

Considering that you can't raise a budget in real MLB they won't let you do that in the game

@sbchamps17_NSW Disagree. Teams change budgets. Look at SD being a small market team but has spent money. The A’s spent more money this year. The Red Sox finally went over the CBT. Many owners could spent more money but don’t. Should be an option.
-
But there is no reason to buy stubs when you can easily get them just by playing the game
-
Maybe being able to adjust the budget should be a thing.now it wouldn't be realistic for those teams that have never spent over 80-100M, but nothing is funner then jumping into a rebuilding team with a very low budget,a team that won the WS a few years ago with a 180-200+ budget
-
@sbchamps17_NSW I agree that you don’t need buy stubs but, at one point, you could use stubs to buy increases in payroll. I’d like to see that brought back.
-
You can’t buy money in the real game so why would you be able to in mlb the show 25
