List of Changes for Next Season
July 05, 2006 at 03:11PM View BBCode
Here's a preliminary list of what changes are in store for next season. I'm still trying to firm up how we're going to handle past all stars.
- Made a fundamental change to how news items are stored on the backend. This will allow us to change back the player cards to show transactions by default, and should load all news much faster.
- Changed the amateur draft prefs page so that you can't save the # of players per position section unless they add up to at least 5.
- Corrected problem with waiver processing where players who were claimed were processed 1 day off of players without claims. They will all go thru on the same league date now.
- Fixed the RP manager prefs so that they aren't pulled 1 out later than they should be.
- Added consistency to trade deadline so that players must be acquired before the date we have in the database for your league. For Dynasty leagues, that means before Sept 1st.
- Fixed problem where injury healed notifications where being emailed 1 game early during the playoffs.
- Changed the rest page so that you can unrest players after the WS is complete, and in between the WS and LCS.
- Changed the way Single Season boxscores are stored on the backend. This will make it much easier to reset the server every season.
- Playoff teams can now put anybody at SP, regardless of endurance. That way they can juggle their rotation and bullpen as the series play out.
- Added Split Stats for batters and pitchers. You will see this starting with your first complete season after the change is put into place. This will show batter and pitcher stats vs Lefties and righties, on the player card and the lineup page.
- Added toggle for stats/skills on lineup and rotation pages.
- Changed the all star formulas and how all stars are calculated so that the page loads faster, past results won't change when players switch teams or positions, and opens up the possibility to put these on the Player cards and other places in the future. Also tweaked the formulas for these so that pitchers have a better shot at winning the ROY, Fireman uses MLB's formula for Fireman award, Cy Young uses Rob Neyer's Cy Young Predictor formula, and the MVP formula has been tweaked and now includes points for being on a playoff team.
- Fixed glitch with defensive replacements where replacements for a PH weren't taking into account a player's out of position conversion percentage.
If you have any questions or comments on any of these items, please post in this thread:

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention.
A player's position for the all star team is now determined by how many games he plays during the season at each position, not his primary position. So if you have a natural RF who has played 150 games at 1B, he will be considered a 1B for the all star team.
