that's definitely taking it to next level. I'm interested to see if the player personalities (story lines) have bigger impacts this year.
I remember back in OOTP 6.5 they had "Promotions" that you could sechedule to help boost attendance. I love that kind of small details. I would love to see that come back.
Also, maybe some kind of "something" to do for pitchers/hitters who are in a bad slump. Maybe if a hitter is in the midst of a 3-20 slump he can go "watch some video" to see what he's doing wrong or schedule some extra BP on an off-day. Same with a pitcher, if he's getting rocked maybe get an extra bullpen session.
Taking it even a little further maybe in the off-season add some options (1 pitcher, 1 hitter) to have guys try new off-season workouts to over come past injuries to reduce injury proneness or just to get in better shape as they near that post 30 era.
just some thoughts.
