- I liked seeing the hot and cold players in red and blue right on the game screen in 6.5.

- In general, it seems to me that while playing out a game in 2006, the game is less aware of what is going on that it was in 6.5. In 6.5 if a player went 5-5 you would get a simple "Wow he's having a good game!" comment in the PbP. In 2006, accomplishments go unnoticed. 2006 doesn't seem to have a grasp for game situations as well as 6.5 did either. My team was getting wallopped 16-2 and a quick runner for the AI controlled team came up and bunted for a single and then stole 2nd on the next pitch. I did find the new "Hit the batter" feature useful at this point but even then, the pitcher should have been thrown out of the game and wasn't. 2006 seems to be more of a number cruncher game. The more you can make 2006 aware of the environment it is playing in, the better.
