Well, I wrote this over at Matrix for Shaun to read because I had asked the same question there. And since I've been a PS'er for most of my baseball text life but OOTP6.5 brought me over here (thanks to the rare-feats and milestones stats) and I've been mainly playing that since, I think I'll post here what I posted over there. Basically, this is my suggestion as to why I think & believe that it is important to have leaderboards deep in terms of players that are seen on leaderboards. Maybe then SI & OOTPD will see why I am so crazy over this. Me being a history buff from Alexander the Great to sports simulations and it's depth I get lost, on purpose, in history because it brings back memories and if I weren't there it allows me to relive what, in this case, a baseball player lived in years past. Call me crazy but thats just me I guess.

*Allow the user to adjust the number of players seen on any given leaderboard. Now, I wouldn't go as far as having 1000 players to be seen but maybe 350 maximum. The significance in this is that since records are meant to be broken, overtime players will fall out of these leaderboards and players that held records from the early 1900's will eventually not be seen (again, this is taking into consideration any statistical tracked data on the new almanac). To combat this and allow for century old records to stand it would be in the best interest of the league and user to have records that are that old to still be seen on these leaderboards. This will allow and give the end-user that unmatched feeling of, what I call, longevity in history. Old players from the past will still have the glory to be seen vs modern day stars & icons.
