If you have any questions about these, please ask in this thread:
http://www.simdynasty.com/oldforum-viewthread.jsp?tid=257213
If any of these ideas spark a new idea or enhancement, please post that in Suggest Enhancements.
If you think we should have spent our time on other ideas, please vote for what you want to see on http://simdynasty.ideascale.com/ - two of the top 5 most popular ideas were part of this set of enhancements.
- If all 5 of your SP are tired, Abe will check to see if there are any fully rested pitchers in the bullpen with endurance of C- or better. If he finds one, that pitcher will start. Otherwise, Abe will start the most rested pitcher on your team between your SP and the 2 LR spots
- If a player is auto-promoted, demoted, claimed by Abe, this will now be distinguished in the news from a regular promote/demote/claim.
- Improved the accuracy of the Amateur Draft results page for recent seasons. It should be 100% accurate for the past couple seasons and all future seasons in terms of which team drafted where and which picks were traded.
- On the head to head page, Team Names will now link to the head-to-head record of that team instead of the depth chart.
- You can now specify Stealing preferences for baserunner speed by A+/A/A-/B+/etc. instead of just A/B/C/D/F
- No-Hitters will now be shown in the League News and Player Card News
- On the Gold Glove and Allstar pages, your players will now be highlighted with a different background color.
- We've made some backend changes that are technical in detail, but we hope will lead us closer to a fix for the web service problems we see a few times a day.
- If a player is the all time leader in a statistical category, the Total on his Player Card will be bolded. In addition, if an active player becomes the all-time leader during the season, this will be noted on the League and Player News during the offseason
- Fielding Stats on the player card will now be sorted by inning, instead of position. This has the side effect of fixing the problem where only the top row was highlighted in the case of a player winning the gold glove.
- Home and Away splits have been added to the player card.
- As soon as the LCS has been decided, you will now be able to rest and unrest players. Previously, you had to wait until the time when game 7 would have been played.
- We have added a few milestones to the player cards and league news. These will be calculated during the offseason, with the date of the news retroactive to the date it actually occurred. We will be tracking 300 Wins, 500 HR, and 3000 Hits.
- Added HBP and SF to the player cards
- Private/Speed leagues can now copy players from another league to use in the Initial Draft player pool - with new names or the same names.
- Added a help icon to the owner pages to explain Prestige.
- Changed the trade accept process to allow as many as 30 players during a trade. This was done to make System 4 Minor League System 4 leagues easier to manage.
- Fixed a bug related to the Pinch Hitting for pitcher, certain circumstances area. It was ignoring the "Except if my team is winning by X or losing by Y runs" part.
- The field image in Dynasty Vision will now indicate when a game is taking place on artificial turf by displaying an infield with sliding pits as opposed to full dirt.
- Sorting options have been added to the player photo selection page.
- On the Leaders page, an issue with displaying batting stats that had a minimum appearance qualification after year 2099 has been fixed.
- There is a new Postseason History page showing the history of what teams have been in the postseason and won the World Series.
- There will no longer be ties for MVP, Cy Young, Fireman, and ROY. In the event of a tie, the older player will get the award except in the case of the ROY where the younger player will get the award. This was done to make a few future enhancements more workable - This will allow us to make some significant performance improvements on the awards page for past seasons. And this will also allow us to add extend the functionality of the Postseason History page to include Award winners in the future.
- We are now generating RSS Feeds for League News and Team Games. If you use Firefox or other RSS Feed readers, you can get the feed for All Trades made in your league, for example. Or you can get a feed of all games your team has played in. Going a step further, you could take that RSS feed of your team's games and set it up with a service to email you whenever the feed is updated - in effect getting an email for every game your team plays. I'm sure others will come up with some other cool things that can be done now that we have RSS feeds for these. You'll see the RSS icon on the News and Schedule pages.
- I also updated the RSS Feeds for the Message Boards to make them easier to integrate into FireFox and similar browsers - you should see the RSS Icon in your address bar when viewing any forum.
- Season totals will be added to the boxscores for most stats.

The exception to this is Dynasty leagues. Because of your feedback regarding how Stadiums were handled, I've put in a provision to get this enhancement to you with the next season.

Also it should be noted that all changes will go into effect immediately, except for Home & Away splits which will only be tracked once the OffSeason is run. So if your OffSeason runs on or after March 16th, you'll see Home & Away splits right away.The exception to this is Dynasty leagues. Because of your feedback regarding how Stadiums were handled, I've put in a provision to get this enhancement to you with the next season.
