Discuss. What should we have here??? I need to dig back through my files too, but if anyone (Joel, Mikey???) has the last PP rewards, please let me know and/or post it here.

I'd spend 20 PPTs to delete a random season from Ross's GM history.

I would spend points to get the dude some respect.

I doubt I have any of the old MBBA constitutions.

As long as you don't touch the player history I'm cool.

I still like the standard things we have in ORB... except cash... it's all I see purchased in GUBA and I think we can do better.
The intangibles improvements are cool.
Re-branding
What are your stadium improvement plans, if any?
I'm sure cash will be here too but it would be cool not to have that as an option.
What about spending points to bring an ex-major league player in, similar to SAMLer?

I don't think the demand for cash will be near as high here, considering the broadcast rev is twice as much as the GUBA.

Damn you are right... the TV contract are waay high. Teams are gonna have a lot of cash to spend initially and I'd hate to see what the first few free agent markets look like. It's gonna be a bidding war.

I like options 1-3 here. I, too, would rather see cash abolished...although with the salary cap, it may not matter. I do not however like spending points to bring in ex-major leaguers.
I feel like intangibles improvements should really help out in a non-historical league because of how far some of the minor leaguers need to go to reach their potential.
Personally, I like rewards that don't translate directly to a competitive advantage.

I don't like customizing ammys and I don't really like the MLBers. I realize I may be in the minority on these issues.

Those were the two things that made the MBBA the MBBA, so we'll be doing the custom ammys for sure. The MLB train, however, is over.

Works for me. However, I'd like to know if the custom AMMY's are always made REALLY good by their creators?

The creators have little control over the specifics of the player. They can say general things about him. We don't edit much of ratings, we try to match up guys in the Ammy Pool to what was described and change names.

There can still be defectors, but these will be guys whose major league career is over so generally they'll be towards the end of their career or damaged in some way.

Sounds great to me. I've got about three ammys in my head right now.

Perfect.
