Roster Organizer for Future Season(s)

[davisnc]

Didn’t see this in any other threads, so apologies if it’s been suggested before.

It’d be super cool if the Roster Organizer had a built-in way to account for anticipated salary increases before they officially happen. So as we approach the 2018 trade deadline, I could look at how things are shaping up for 2019 given the expected $70-$80 that will be added to my roster over the offseason (not including arbitration).

This would be cool. Though in the interim, I add fake players named “allocations” and “inflation” and give salaries that I think would cover those projected values. This gives me a decent sense of what the next season might look like.

Yeah, there are decent workarounds. But then when I move somebody to “cut” or “trade,” I have to remember to go and reduce the inflation slot by $2. Not a huge inconvenience or anything, but a little bit tedious.

I did a search and didn’t find this exact request, so I hope it’s fresh. If not, my wife can attest that my looking and not finding things is not a reflection of their obviousness…

Anyways, Roster Organizer is my favorite tool in all of Ottoneu and I use it for both in season situations (next cuts, trade ideas, etc.) and planning for the following season to help keep me thinking about the present and future.

It would be great to have two editable ROs, one that I use for in-season decisions and one with which I can keep an eye on the future so I don’t have to change all of my future planning adjustments to in-season when done.

Thanks!

There are a lot of related ideas to this scattered across the Wishlist. As a result of these ideas, I’ve added toggles for positions and inflation.

I think creating an entire second Roster Organizer would be really confusing and probably overkill for a lot of people, but I also understand the tension of thinking about present day and the future, its a core tension (by design!) of Ottoneu games.

I’ll continue to think about this.

Projected Salaries and Positions in Roster Organizer

At the top of the Roster Organizer, I’ve added a couple of switches [Screenshot by Dropbox Capture] The first switch changes every player to show their projected salary for the next season. This includes the base $2/$1 increases and any applied arbitration during the arbitration period. This switch is meant to allow you to budget for the upcoming year inclusive of all salary increases. The second switch does the same as the first, only with position eligibility. It is disabled until the regu…

Projected Position Eligibility on Roster Organizer

It would be really helpful to have the following year’s projected positions somewhere on the roster organizer, maybe just in parenthesis after the current eligible positions. Appreciate the consideration, thanks!

Add next year's salary increases to roster organizer

Can you add a button to the roster organizer that will add the $1 or $2 to each player’s salary for the next season? Currently I add a “Target” player to my bench and manually count the extra money (and arbitration)

This feels like roster organizer states, like saved list objects of changes that get applied, I can feel the tinker itch just thinking about this one, heh
