customizability - without it I probably wouldn't have even tried the game, honestly, the biggest thing I was looking for was the ability to create my own universe
online leagues - without them I probably would have gotten bored with the game and left, even with insane house rules solo isn't enough of a challenge and AI moves are too frustrating to accept
community - without it I probably would have gotten bored with online leagues and left, usually gaming communities don't survive long without new versions of the game, but I think this one could, at least for a good while, and I think that says a great deal
database - CommishJoe's Exporter is good, but I'd really really like a suped-up version that included absolutely everything the game has so we can do even more with utilities
personality - reading about players' specific distinctly human characteristics really brings the game to life, I just wish there was a lot more of it
development - I love following the progression of my players, especially the young ones, I just wish OOTP had the option of keeping a log of ratings development for each player so we could look back and see how the players progressed over his career ratings-wise and not just level and stat-wise
continuity - the ability to import leagues from previous versions is critically important for multiplayer leagues and a number of solo players (not really for myself), I'm certain there are countless people out there who just wouldn't get the latest and greatest version if they couldn't continue on with their existing leagues
