As for past players it wouldn't be difficult to retroactively assign numbers and retire them if desired-even if multiple players have the same number it could be like Berra/Dickey on the Yankees.
Numbers/Retired numbers

One of the neat things about sports is watching the numbers of all time greats get retired. In SD we have never really had assigned numbers for players (think baseball back in the 18th century) but if its not too tough to code, it would be cool to have numbers for players and the ability to retire them (up to 50 or so I guess is enough). I suppose the hardest part of the coding would be ensuring that once a number is retired that no future player wears it.As for past players it wouldn't be difficult to retroactively assign numbers and retire them if desired-even if multiple players have the same number it could be like Berra/Dickey on the Yankees.

Also, here's a question. Should two players be able to wear the same number in one season. For example, if I trade away Johnny Terribleswing in July, who wore, say, 17 , and then called up Billy Outfielder, should he wear 17 or another number? I dont know if that would be easier or harder to code, but what are some thoughts on this.
Also, is this already on ideascale?

I would definitely want that. Some guys in are legendary and should be honored somehow. Plus I like the idea of them having numbers. Maybe show them in another column on the depth chart and on the player card next to the name.Also, here's a question. Should two players be able to wear the same number in one season.

i have to say that this wouldn't be of huge interest to me. having said that, i suspect that it will be to many others owners, if not most. if it's not too difficult to code, i don't see why we wouldn't do it. if it's kind of complicated for some reason i can't forsee, i'd rather tyson spend his time elsewhere.

I'll agree with you dirt that I wouldn't want a lot of time spent on it but saw it as a nice cosmetic enhancement.

Adding numbers is, in and of itself, a piece of cake. All the work is in retiring numbers and making sure they are not used again, and 80% of the code is already written because the football sim uses numbers (where they are actually not cosmetic, as Dynasty Vision uses them as indexes). So throw a few votes at it and I'll look at it once some of the football load is off.--Chris
