Plans to improve iOOTP play-by-play presentation?

One of my biggest complaints -- maybe my only real complaint -- right now with iOOTP is the incredibly bland and un-informative play-by-play screen.

This really needs to be spruced up if iootp is going to hold my interest long term.

Is there any hope that iOOTP play-by-play will get graphics enhancements along the lines of what OOTP13/14 features? In particular, the batter's box / pitch history panel you get in the ootp webcast screen would be a *major* improvement to what iootp currently offers -- which is essentially nothing besides "who's on base" plus the usual box score info. There's nothing about pitch speed, location, selection, beyond the occasional (and unpredictable) nugget of wisdom thrown out there by the announcer.

edit --- ootp's ball-in-play graphic, letting you know bip location and type (G/F/L) would also be nice to have in iootp.

I know that iootp has to simplify and do without many of the features available in ootp. But right now, the actual in-game experience is a little too minimalistic to be interesting for long.

Please give this important area of the game some love !
