I only got to mess with it for a half hour or so before work, but so far:
1. Facegen. I never imagined it could be so good. I currently have it generating players on demand, and it's currently taking about a quarter second whenever I pull up an individual's player card--just enough to barely see the load screen before it disappears. I'm not sure if I'll ever feel the need to have it auto-generate every individual in the league, though I may do so just to see how long it'll take.
The variety of faces, realism of faces, facial hair, etc, is awesome. I'm going to start working up uniforms tonight for my custom solo league. Already have logos set to go.
2. Historical replay features. The player recalc, expansion wizards, etc, are fantastic. Overall tweaks to the league creation wizard, including especially things like a pop-up lahman directory locator screen, make this feel much more polished. The wizard also makes things more intuitive--I don't feel like I need to experiment with every setting just to figure out what it does this time around.
I didn't hate v.2006, but I didn't particularly like it either. I saw its potential in its depth, but ultimately didn't find it to be much fun to play. I never even finished a full season of managing, whereas I'd done years upon years in versions 5-6.5. Thus far, the game is looking like it has a lot more potential to be fun. Looking forward to getting home so that I can play. -j
