Not as much as I'd like (should?). I end up thinking about the features I wish the game had, then spend time lots of time researching the background material for those ideas.
By the way, let me clarify the value of having the full real-world organizational transaction data: it'll show how often DL assignments occur in the minors and how quickly clubs move players around to fill the roster spots in response (my feeling is that minor league clubs often operate shorthanded for a few days after an injury occurs); it'll show the frequency and duration of rehab assignments by major league players; it'll reveal to what degree minor league players are released and signed during a season; it'll make clear just what happens in the rest of the organization when a transaction is made at the major league level (e.g. when a player is called up/recalled or selected from the minors, how quickly are the rosters reshuffled in the minor league affiliates). This, it seems to me, is extremely useful reference data in getting OOTP's AI to behave like real-world organizations do.
