One thing I would love to see: In-game, have one of the splits be "vs. current pitcher". Yes I know that you can see this in the player screen, but it can be a pain looking that up for every batter. I'd love to be able to compare them all in the one screen.

And I still think "rivalry" games is a great suggestion I had from last year. Allow the owner/GM/manager set an importance rating for each (or specific) games so that the players/fans know how big of a deal it is.

A one-game playoff like this year is much more important than a game in May, yet I don't know if the game recognizes that. A one-game playoff would feature an "all hands on deck" where most pitchers would be availble, players would play hurt/tired (and not feel the effects as much because of the adrenaline).

I just played the World Series a few weeks ago where the opponent started their #4 starter in Game 1 even though their #1 and #2 were 100% rested. That would NEVER happen. I've also seen where the ace started the final game of the season when they had already clinched the pennant, and then couldn't pitch Game 1 of the WS. If the "importance rating" had been at zero, perhaps the manager would have opted for a spot starter or rookie to save his ace for the post-season.

This is a good idea. I think I've mentioned elsewhere that we should be able to designate rivalries at league creation.
