1.) Substitutions are NOT different to 6.5, I just tried it.
2.) I changed the lineup page because 95% of the beta team was in favor of the change and wanted the depth charts & lineups on a single screen.
3.) I don't know what you mean with "simple menu/leader board", can you explain?
4.) The manager/owner model is in there, but just different.
I say it once again: I did not take features out of the game... the game not shares a single line of code with OOTP 6.5, everything was recoded, so decisions had to be made. One of those decisions was to leave the baserunning control out because the manager in real life cannot yell at the runner to take the extra base
