Maybe tie some of the stuff to players, kind of like FOF has the players that become worshipped. Have something like that where a player becomes a local hero kind of like Jim Thome was or Mark McGwire. Or have the teams fan interest increase when the team goes out and signs a player that has this Icon type label kind of like happened in Boston when Manny signed or in St. Louis when they got McGwire or should happen in Philly with Thome.

Maybe give the scouts more of a personality as well. I know they have ratings in how they scout hitting and pitching but maybe make them lean toward one or the other when drafting. Maybe make scout A really believe hitting is the way to build a team even if he is rated fair in scouting it. Give them the choice of wanting to build a team through the draft or by trading or by free agency. Put in a win now at all costs type mentality in some of them, kind of like Duquette was in Boston, even though he wasn't that good at it.

With managers have them have a little difference in their abilities with respect to younger players and veterans. Have managers that just can't work with younger players while other thrive with it. Just a couple of ideas on ways to use things to make changes
