I work every year during beta with Markus to make things easier for roster makers. The biggest problems is that we need to find a way to get the raw data turned into OOTP ratings in a quicker procedure than presently for doing the players that haven't participated in the major leagues and for them as well for that matter. Until there is a quicker way to rate players and get the information in the game it is going to take extended periods of time as people try to get ratings done and input into the game.

I do think that with the ability to import things like history and stats it will make it much easier to make roster files in the future once all the information is able to be put into the game.

Also right now with regard to importing of data unless you have at least 2 Gig of RAM it is almost impossible to import stuff, well at least with the size files that I am creating.

Another thing that I would like to see available is the option to completely delete a team from the database or to make that team inactive but still be able to have the stats and history kept for the team.

As for back formulas, I have created my own formulas for rating players that I do feel works pretty well with the game, granted the issues that I have run into there have been with figuring out how to keep top prospects from being dominant as a group too quickly. A few here and there, like Braun and Pence is fine but when there are guys from A ball and AA and AAA taking the league by storm in year one and two then there is a problem.
