I'd like to see OOTP adopt something similar. For example, when offering a contract to a free agent, it would be nice to indicate whether he was expected to be a full- or part-time player, or minor league depth. It would help to avoid situations where a player is unhappy with his playing time, and it might also let free agents be a bit more selective when signing with a team. A player may opt to go to a team offering him a spot in the starting lineup instead of one only offering a spot on the bench.

This is a great idea. This could also eliminate the problem of a FA signing a deal with a team that already has an All-Star at his position, and then getting mad that he's not playing. In real life, that FA probably wouldn't have signed the contract because he'd be able to know that he was going to be a backup.
