Hi, I am the latest baseball fan to be absolutely bowled over by OOTP4...but I do have a few suggestions for number 5.
There is a HUGELY popular football (soccer) text simulation in developed in England (and is pretty much popular across all of Europe).
This game has some fantastic features which would be so perfect for OOTP;
+ media & player interaction; players can complain or become unsettled if not played, players can become unsettled with other players and/or management decisions, newspapers question manager moves (you can reply with a press comment).
This basically adds a new dimension of man management...handling the egos and the press...making sure you balance these relationships well.
+ more indepth contract negotiations which occur in this soccer game and could be carried through with OOTP. The integration of club, player and mutual options (as they have in MLB) and waivers etc. Signing on fees, bonuses etc.
If you guys in general wish to know more about this commercial soccer game (if you like to see examples of these features etc)...go to

Thanks for your time.
