So i started another league. Let my assitant gm do all the coach hirings, draft and free agency. Let the managers do their own lineups (for the most part, ill do force start on guys who i feel should play.) But its worked out. Hired an assistant gm who liked speed guys and he has done pretty well. Its been intersting. Its like being an owner. He has 2 bad contracts that will probably come back to kick us in the ass. But im gonna see what happens. There are 2 inexperienced coaches he hired for minor league teams, and the locker rooms are a shit show. Lol

Dual-nationalities is another addition. @Yankee151

The injury system has been tweaked, as well.

Some injuries are nagging and more likely to develop over time, maybe turn into bigger issues.

We're far more specific as far as what body parts are injured, and multiple injuries to specific body parts can create problems over time.

We adjusted the time and effects of some injuries, the db was significantly re-worked.

We track more in regard to injuries now.

There are more decisions for the manager/gm as to whether to have a player play through injuries or get treated and have them miss time.

I think that's most of it, but that's just off the top of my head. I may be missing some stuff or be wrong about something.

and is adding Arizona Fall League possible? IF it ran concurred with playoffs, would increase IMMERSION for non-playoff teams.

I imagine if it's like REEL life, then all teams would be controlled by the CPU and the CPU would pick players.

does zip compress more? otherwise they are the same

.gz was designed to only compress files. So, in order to create a compressed archive, you first have to create an archive using the .tar util as an example. Once that's done, you will then compress said archive.
.zip takes care of both of these in one swift action.

So I checked Dam's chemistry page and it doesn't help at all. I have 8 or more disruptive guys and 8 or more guys who don't handle losing well. So it just shows me in a different way that you have to win to not have a bunch of teenagers throwing chairs in the clubhouse

Much like A-ball, people wouldn't pay attention to it.
