I'd also like to see some things like messages that require decisions and have impacts down the road. Like a player demanding a trade, or a coach recommending you bench a player, etc.
The problem here is you are fusing the GM and coach into one role. This game should gear towards a GM. That's why I think ticket prices should be out, and owners should be in. The game should gear itself towards features that are part of a club's "Baseball Operations". That was why I was sort of disappointed to see the over simplification of the scouting system in OOTP 8. Rehab assignments would be an example of this. I have always said that OOTP's biggest problem is that it attempts to be all things to all people. In doing this, the detail level for a person who just wants to play as a GM has suffered. People will criticize me and say "but I don't just want to play as a GM", but that is what the initial intention of this game really was...
