In real life a $150M payroll is not considered high, but within the economics of 4040 Baseball it is. And its practical and psychological effects amount to a curse worth avoiding.
More on how a $150M payroll can work against your team’s success
Fixes:
- Waiver Claims: There was a lingering issue where SIM teams would keep stealing each others claimed players. More work has been done to fix this issue.
Updates:
- New Single Season Records: You can now view single season records from the league menu.
Updates:
- New Team Career Stats: You can now view the career batting and pitching stats for all players who played for your team. Accessible from the team menu. Sortable and filterable.
- New League Awards & Titles: You can now view the single season award winners and title holders from every season. From the league menu.
Fixes:
- Waiver Claims: In some cases, waiver claims were not running on the correct cycle because of a miscalculation. Fixed.
Updates:
- New Career Stats: You can now view the career batting and pitching stats for all players, active and retired. Sortable and filterable.
Updates:
- New Game Viewer: You can now watch games, rather than just read a boxscore. You can toggle this new feature in the Team Settings page.
- Hide Scores on Team Home Page: You can hide scores on your team home page if you prefer to discover the scores by reading the boxscore and/or watching a game. You can toggle this setting in the Team Settings page.
Refinements:
- Pitcher Usage Limits: The Team Rotation page now displays the usage limits by pitching role.
Fixes:
- Team Pitching Stats Page: Page was showing the K/BB ratio in place of the ERA. Fixed.
Fixes:
- Trades for Over-Developers: In some cases it was possible for a lefit overdeveloper to be acquired by a team, without the overdevelopment triggering properly. This has been corrected.
Fixes:
- Outfielder Trades with SIM Teams: When trading with a SIM team for the team's only LF or RF, offering a CF was not effective as a replacement. This has been fixed--you may now ofer a CF as a replacement when acquiring a SIM team's only corner outfielder.
Updates:
- Trades for ALL SIM Team Draft Picks: Trades for SIM Team draft picks had been limited to round 4 or later. This has now been opened up to all picks. There are still limitations when it comes to rebuild and financial rebuilds, but at least on paper, all draft picks are available.
Refinements:
- Player Rankings Report: Completed the Player Rankings report (available under the League menu) which ranks all players using a blend of projections, and performance to date.
- Player Contracts & Extensions: Contract demands have seen rapid inflation in the past few seasons. New contract demands have been adjusted to help slow inflation. Demands are still market driven, but with a lower markup baked into the requested salaries and contract lengths.
- SIM Trade Matches: Updated SIM Team Trade matching to take the new ranking into account. This should help keep SIM teams stronger, by retaining, or getting fair value for, their upper tier players.
