At first when I started to play OOTPB ( I think OOTB 4), I was impressed with the play by play and the picture of the stadium but it got boring fast. The stadiums where the same, none of the players moved, no sound, and the text play by play, reminded me of the Zork games (text play). I dont even do the play by play anymore. I sim the games. If I can watch the games and be immersed in a 3D world simmming would be the thing of the past. Also it would stop me from finishing a season in 1-2 days lol. In my previous post I was also looking to see if eventually pitch location and type of pitch would be added sometime like in another baseball sim game (not sure if I can say it here). Being the GM and/or manager it would be different to watch the game unfold in 3D and you could be in the dugout instructing the pitcher what to throw and the location. Many managers use signs to tell the pitcher what and where to throw along with intentional walks. How about a random factor that shows up while rarely, a player who is spectaculor but is prone to problems outside of baseball. Do you suspend him with or without pay and for how many games? Does the League suspend him with or without pay and for how many games? How about end of the game press conferences like after the real life games? Seeing Willie Randolph talk to the media in his office or a player talking about his performance or lack of it? Are there players who refuse to talk? Players with attitude? This can hurt or help fan interest slightly. Actually Im kind of wishing also for an ESPN edition on OOTPB. Instead of seeing the stats on a screen, it would be cool to see it on ESPN or call the channel MarcusSportsNetwork lol. See the sportscasters talk about games that went on, going on, playoff race, hot/cold players, fantastic plays, bad plays, rsing superstars, duds, the amateur draft (give a small taste for your scouts or a hint if its deep or not so deep). Why wouldnt I be surprised if it is added it will find its way on YouTube lol.
With dual core processors dropping in price and quadcore processors lowering somewhat (hard drives at low prices), a lot can be handled and included whether its a large patch and/or super large expansion. LoL it would be funny if its all loaded onto a Blu-ray disc...that would be some sic graphics and then some.
I sound like Im looking for a job lol. I wouldnt mind being a beta tester or asked by the OOTB staff. Please in 2008 dont make OOTPB 2008 but expand and bring 3D graphics and so much more to this one. I think this OOTPB (OOTPB 2007) is by far the best Ive played and better than other baseball sims by a longshot.

I'm sorry, but I would have to disagree with almost everything you wrote. Please don't get ESPN involved, please don't turn this into The Sims Baseball Edition...I don't care what the fictional player has for dinner. I, personally, don't care about sound or 3D graphics or seeing a player run across the field.
