HBD Coaching Hiring

Feature RequestHardball Dynasty

Remove the hiring of individual coaches, it has become too tedious and Fielding Coaches are extremely inflated. Perhaps a change would be to budget coaching costs similar to scouting budgets. Could set Major League between $500k-$3M at increments of $500k, with the average coaching budget being $1.5M. How much you spend determines their effectiveness. Minor league coaches could still be hired per level, or as a general Minor League coaches except increments of $50k. This eases the frustrations of hiring coaches and also prevents some owners from stashing all their good prospects at one level and ignoring the other minor league levels.

    I agree with eliminating individual coaches. Instead, it should be similar to scouting. Let an owner invest up to $20M in the coaching staff and that would give you a certain level of expertise at the major-league level and each minor-league level. Often, there aren’t enough quality coaches at a specific level, especially the majors, for every team to have a quality coaching staff.
