I like the feature with some pretty large caveats:
(1) it ain't for everyone.
(2) some of the changes are just silly - within a four-year period, my DL length went from 15 to 17 to 24 days.
(3) I'd love to have the changes be subject to a yes/no accept/do not accept option for playability sake.
(4) I agree that some sort of cause/effect relationship would seem less arbitrary:
- record offensive year (league-wide or by a single player - think a 10% increase in scoring or an 80 HR season, for instance) should result in a greater chance of an offense-dampening change (i.e. adoption of a deader ball, raise the mound, legalize the spitball, etc.)
- a bunch of franchises end up in the red should result in a greater chance of owner-friendly financial system changes (i.e. longer arbitration periods, lower salary cap, lower slot bonuses in draft, etc.)
- a dynasty should result in application of the draft to international players, or a more robust Rule 5 draft, or something else designed to induce parity
Not all of these suggestions are workable, of course, but it would improve the sim.
