New Mode in the game
-
I think it goes without saying, that a new DD mode has been needed in this game for awhile. I can tell that one of the limitations that SDS has is its inability to code or get too specific when entering certain modes. But I was wondering why something simple has been put out like an All Time Team mode? A mode where you would pick one of thirty teams, and based on your selection, only players that are affiliated with the team (prospects), currently play on the team, or Have played on the team before will be eligible. This doesn't seem too difficult to pull off. Especially if you assume that if a player doesn't have enough players to fill a specific team, then they would just get a message that says "ineligible" until they collect more. So for example Rich Gossage would be eligible on the Yankees team and every other team he has played a Major League game for.
This could open up an entire new mode that has been missing for years at this point. Aside from picking the 30 teams, the idea seems to be a lot like Events (putting requirements on eligible players), and people would have to own the card to use it.
The catch is how to make it so that every player doesn't pick the Yankees or Dodgers, etc. You could easily limit overall team rating to 95 to make it fair for all players. OR you could count stats and attempt to win 5 games with each theme team throughout the course of the year to win a nice card...I don't know, something like that. But the point is that it seems doable. It seems like it would just require a database of players categorized by teams. I know other websites do it for this game, so it doesn't seem far-fetched that SDS could do it too.
The other problem is that a mode like this runs counter to the model of Sets and Seasons that they've been pushing the last two years. It would be rough to almost have a Full Tigers team ready to roll and half of the cards are now ineligible.
Anyways, just an idea like many of the other great ideas that I've seen put on here in the past. I just hope that at some point, SDS will give us a new mode that allows for something different in the future.

I have done this in the past - filling out a roster with players from a specific team and now a division to complete TA objectives and playing Conquest, Mini S, or online. In previous versions of game you would accumulate a good number of players from a single team, but it is going to be more difficult to have quality lineups with the restart in Season 2 and 3.
I do like your thinking and hope that SDS gets creative in offering a new DD game mode or modifications to Mini Seasons since they could easily your suggestion to one.

I don't know how a new mode can be expected this season, when we've hardly gotten any Programs this year...
