OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Should be able to get promoted to Team President, Possibly Owner..

I was thinking today while playing OOTP that if you establish yourself as a Great GM, why not be able to become Team President, maybe possibly an owner after many years being a GM in the MLB. I think us GMs also should be able to conduct contract negotiations for ourselves with teams instead of not having a contract at all. If we were giving contracts we could have a "Bank" so that we could save up to purchase a team or something that could be discussed later. I hate that fact that all you can do is switch from team to team, I think it would be cool after let's say 20 years and 6 titles, you get positions as President and get to oversee everything and hire your own GM who you think can get the job done. While being Team President, it gives you full control and I think it could make the game more exciting. You could add in weekly meetings and sit downs with managers and the Owner, espiecially on the Trade Deadline because teams (As seen on The Franchise show on Showtime" all sit in the conference rooms and give suggestions on players. I think it would improve the game if the Managers and GM's (If your President) give you an input on who they think can contribute to the ball club and why.

Also, I create myself as I said before, and after my career I always turn myself into a coach. I think there should be an option where you can takeover as human manager as a former player and basically let the computer or delete your existing manager. I think it would be cool to start again with a player rather than an "Inexperienced GM" because it makes the game more realistic.

Also, If players break records, such as HR Record, Hits, Etc... I think it would be cool for there to be news listings like leading up to the record. Let's say if Joe Schmo has 759 Hrs, I think it should be marked like "There is #761, and let the person playing be aware of such an astonishing record.

Just my thoughts, let me know what you think..

Not trying to bash the game in anyway, I love it, but this would make it better in my eyes...
